Not the father of Warin ‘le chauve’ de Lorraine, sheriff of Shropshire
Roger de Busli was joint lord of the hundred of Blackburn and a favorite of William the Conquerer.
Roger was a Norman (French) baron who accompanied William the Conqueror on his successful conquest of England in 1066. After the conquest, as a reward for his service to the king, he was given lands in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire, lands belonging previously to a variety of Anglo-Saxons including Edwin, Earl of Mercia. By 1086 he was Tenant-in Chief of 86 manors in Nottinghamshire, 46 in Yorkshire and numerous others in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire plus one in Devon. He erected many castles thru out his vast domaine.

Roger de Busli was born in or around 1038. His surname comes from the town now known as Bully (near Neufchâtel-en-Bray, mentioned as Buslei ar. 1060, Busli 12th century.[1]%29 in Normandy, and he was likely born there. Busli was given lands in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the Strafforth wapentake of Yorkshire. These had previously belonged to a variety of Anglo-Saxons, including Edwin, Earl of Mercia.[2]ade.
By the time of the Domesday survey de Busli was tenant-in-chief of 86 manors in Nottinghamshire, 46 in Yorkshire, and others in Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, plus one in Devon. They became the Honour of Blyth (later renamed the Honour of Tickhill), and within it, de Busli erected numerous castles, at Tickhill, Kimberworth, Laughton-en-le-Morthen and Mexborough.[2] In 1088, he founded Blyth Priory.
Much of the de Busli's family's leverage came from their familial relationships with the crown through the Counts of Eu.[3] Roger de Busli's wife Muriel was in favour with the queen, to whom she was probably a lady-in-waiting or a kinswoman, evident in the queen's grant to de Busli of the manor of Sandford upon his marriage.[4]
The de Buslis had one son, also called Roger, who died as an infant, thus leaving no heirs.[5] His daughter (or possibly his sister) Beatrix, (also known as Beatrice de Builli), married William, Count of Eu.
De Busli died in the last years of the 11th century without an heir. His lands were given to Robert de Bellême, who lost them in 1102 after he led a rebellion against Henry I of England.
Ernulf de Busli, probably Roger's brother, may then have inherited some of the lands; these were then passed to Ernulf's son Jordan and grandson Richard de Busli.[2] Richard de Busli was co-founder of Roche Abbey, South Yorkshire with Richard FitzTurgis in 1147.
The male line of the de Busli family died out in 1213, and their holdings passed into the Vipont family through the marriage of Idonea de Busli with Robert de Vipont (Vieuxpont).[6][7]

Ancestry.com: When the length and breadth of England were parcelled out among the followers of the Norman Conqueror, a great man became possessed of East and West Markham, the list of whose lands in Nottinghamshire alone covers more than five pages of Domesday Book. This was Roger de Busli (or Builli, the Bully of modern maps), who took his name from a lordship in the land of Braye near Rouen, on the high ground which overlooks the forest of St. Saen.
"In the extent of his possessions, Roger de Busli ranked as one of the foremost men in England. He sat by the hearth of Eadwin and by the hearth of Waltheof. But he plays no visible part in history and lives only in the record of Domesday and in his still abiding work -- a minster and a castle. He founded Blyth priory in 1088, and built Tickhill Castle." (Freeman's W William Rufus, ii pp. 159-62)
[Roger de Busli] died in 1098; his only child followed him in 1102, but he had a brother Arnaldus, and a sister Beatrix, married to Robert, Earl of Eu. They were, however, deprived of their inheritance, and Robert de Belleme, on some plea of kindred, obtained a grant of all the possessions of Roger de Busli from William the Red. But this merciless oppressor did not retain them long. He espoused the cause of Duke Robert, was defeated and expelled from England by Henry I in 1102 AD.
