[large-G675.FTW]
ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER (Humphrey de Veulles ..., Touroude ..., Torf), born about 1010, succeeded to the family estates in Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Pre'aux, Torville, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by which last name he came to be generally described. By his marriage he greatly increased the possessions and prestige of the family, and he rose to be one of the most powerful feudal noblemen of his age in Normandy. When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels for the fleet and was left in charge of the government of Normandy when the Conqueror started on the expedition. He munificently endowed the Abbey of Pre'aux, of which late in life he became a monk; and dying in 1094 at advanced age, he was buried in this monastery at Ponteaudemer, Normandy. (P) He married about 1040, ADELINE DE MEULLANT, daughter and eventually sole heiress of Waleran, Comte de Meullant, a great feudal nobleman of France. She died in 1081. (P) Children ....

Roger de BEAUMONT was born about 1010 in "of" Pont Audemer, N, France. IGI has abt 1022. So does Roderick W Stuart, *Royalty for Commoners*, 2nd edn, 1992, p 161 (lin 220) He died in 1094. OR: Roger de BELLOMONT
"The same thing is true of Beaumont [i.e., the name "may well be Norman or at
least French in origin".] There was a Roger de Beaumont recorded in the Domesday Book as holding Sturminster Marshal in Dorset, and this Roger certainly took his name from Beaumont in Normandy. From Roger descended the Counts of Meulan, the old Earls of Leicester, and the old Earls of
Warwick."

descendants of the Normans", London (Evans Brothers Ltd) 1954, p 106-107
