Roger d'Abetot (sometimes Roger of Abitôt[1]%29 was a medieval English Sheriff of Worcestershire. Roger was the son of Urse d'Abetot, his predecessor as sheriff.[2] He also held the custody of Worcester Castle, another office he inherited from his father.[1] He may also have been a constable in Henry I's household, as his father had been.[3] Along with the offices, Roger also inherited the barony of Salwarpe in Worcestershire.[4] He was banished from England in around 1110[1] or in 1114 by King Henry I, and lost his office because of this.[2] His lands were also forfeit.[5] According to the medieval writer William of Malmesbury, Henry exiled him because Roger ordered that a royal official be killed.[1] The office passed to Osbert d'Abetot, who may have been Roger's uncle, before eventually ending up with Roger's brother-in-law Walter de Beauchamp.[6] Citations[edit]

ROGER de Abitot . Henry I King of England instructed "Waltero vicecomiti Gloec et Rogero vicecomiti de Wirecestr et Hugoni de Legrec" that the monks of Worcester Cathedral should enjoy quiet enjoyment, by charter dated to [Jun 1109/Aug 1111] or [Jul/Oct 1113][16]. Ellis says that "Roger d’Abitot" son of Urse de Abitot "having killed one of the household of Henry I was banished", but does not cite the primary source in question[17]. The banishment must be dated to [1114], as Henry I King of England granted "totam terram Rogeri de Wygrecestra", in and around the town of Worcester, to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1114, after 15 Aug][18]. http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3.htm#Emelin...
