ROGER I. (1176-1195.) His name occurs in the Pipe Rolls of 1175-6 (S.C., I, 79; II, 58). “Rogerus de Sumervill reddit compotum de x m. pro foresta (a forest trespass). In perdonis per breve Regis ipsi Rogero vj m. Et debet iiij m.”

He married Matilda (not Edelina, as given in Dugdale's Pedigree), the daughter of Robert Pincerna, the hereditary butler of the Earls of Chester. The chartulary of Dieulacres Abbey contains the following deed, No. 86 (S.C., IX, N.S., 333).

Omnibus etc. Matilda Pincerna salutem. Noveritis me dedisse Monachis de Pulton pro salute animæ meæ et Rogeri de Somerville sponsi mei et Rogeri de S. filii mei v. solidos etc. in puram et perpetuam eleemosinam.

Among the witnesses are Robertus de Wichenore and Radulphus Grim.

Robert Pincerna is styled of Inglebi, and this manor is afterwards held by the Somervilles. Deed No. 91 ...

This Roger I died before 1195. From the Warwickshire and Leicestershire Ripe Roll 2 John, 1199-1200 (S.C., II, 96, 99, 105), it appears that

”Matilda quże fuit uxor Rogeri de S. debet x marcas et i palefridum ut non distringatur ad se maritandum desicut nihil tenet de Rege nec de Comite Cestrensi qui eam dedit Willelmo de Chaucumb.”
