Everything about Roger Bigod 4th Earl Of Norfolk totally explained
Roger Bigod (c.
1209 –
1270), was 4th
Earl of Norfolk and
Marshal of England.
He was the son of
Hugh Bigod, and Matilda, a daughter of
William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke and Marshal of England. After the death of his father in 1225 Roger became the ward of
William de Longespee, 3rd Earl of Salisbury. After his marriage to Isabella, daughter of
William the Lion, King of Scotland, he was a ward of his new brother-in-law,
Alexander II of Scotland until 1228, when, although still under-age, he succeeded to his father's estates (including
Framlingham Castle). He did not, however, receive his father's title until 1233.
After the death without male heirs of the last of his mother's brothers, Roger obtained the office of Marshal of England in 1246. With his younger brother
Hugh Bigod (Justiciar), he was prominent among the barons who wrested the control of the government from the hands of
Henry III and assisted
Simon de Montfort, in what became the
Second Barons' War.
Roger had no children, and was succeeded by his nephew, also named
Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk.
