Research Notes

In a Justices Itinerant assize record on 26 July 1329 his widow, at that time Elizabeth de Burgh, states that Sir Roger was survived by Margaret and Elizabeth as "daughters and heirs" and Margaret is listed first. Douglas Richardson makes this correction to his previous works in a soc.genealogy.medieval Google Group discussion in October of 2018.
