Roger d'Estouteville, sheriff of Northumberland

Although the Latin forms of Stutvilla, Stotvilla and Estotvilla are used indiscriminately, it is convenient for purposes of distinction to restrict the form Estouteville to the Norman/French lines descended from Nicolas d’Estouteville, lord of Valmont. Further, the use of de Stuteville is restricted to the English descent from Robert III de Stuteville and his brothers.

No indication has been found of the identity of Roger d’Estouteville. Until more primary source material emerges, he is shown he as a possible brother of Robert [III]. If, in line with one possibility which is indicated below, the witness William de Stuteville was the son of Robert [III], Roger could have been an otherwise unrecorded older son.]
