1013-4: joined with his father in the custody of the castle of Tillieres [Ref:
CP XII/1 p755]
1038-9: While Duke Robert was away on pilgrimage, he went to Spain and
distinguished himself in fighing. When he returned to Normandy, he was furious
to learn that the boy William had succeeded his father in the Duchy, declaring
that a bastard ought not to rule over him and other Normans. Accordingly he
rebelled and ravaged the lands of his neighbors, particularly those of
Humphrey de Vielles; whose son Roger de Beaumont marched against him and in
the battle which followed Roger de Toeni and two of his sons were slain. [Ref:
CP XII/1 p755]
Standard-bearer of Normandy [Ref: CP VI p448]
Roger was exiled, and ended up "crusading" in and around Barcelona. Sources
from that area report that he married a (unnamed) daughter of the countess of
Barcelona (widow of Ramon Borrell). Norman sources only show him married to a
Godeheut, who as his widow remarried. What gives then? Was Adele his first
wife and Godeheut his second? Was Godeheut the Norman name for the Barcelona
princess? Is the Barcelona source wrong in stating that they married?
Helpful in solving the question would appear to be Berenger Hispina de Toeny.
I think it is safe to conclude that he owed his name to this marriage (and I
have often wondered if Hispina wasn't a garbled 'of Spain'). Unfortunately
his parentage is also in question. A recent account of the Tosny family
showed him as son of Roger and Adelaide, but Evans, in his paper of Todeny de
Belvoir showed him as belonging to that branch, and suggested that a second
Toeny married down south. Keats-Rohan seems to accept the marriage, and that
Adelaide was mother of Roger's children. [Ref: Farmerie 1/5/99]
