  General Notes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_de_Pitres
Roger de Pitres (also called Roger de Pistri) (d. bef. 1083), a Norman, was the Sheriff of Gloucester under William the Conqueror and constable of Gloucester Castle.
Roger's origins are confirmed in his territorial appellation, de Pitres; he was a Norman from Pîtres, Eure, canton of Pont-de-l'Arche. He followed William the Conqueror to England in 1066. Roger was an adherent of William FitzOsbern and owed much of his landed wealth to this association. After the death of Earl William in 1071, Roger was more closely associated with the crown. He was sheriff of Gloucester from 1071 and constable of Gloucester castle, which he constructed. Members of his family succeeded him in these hereditary offices. His brother Durand of Gloucester (d.1096) succeeded him as sheriff by 1083. Both Roger de Pitres and his brother Durand were buried at St. Peter's Abbey in Gloucester.


Roger married Adeliza.
