  ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER (Humphrey de Veulle s ...,
  Touroude ..., Torf), born about 1010, succeeded to the family estates in
  Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Pre'aux,
  Torvill e, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by
  which last name he came to be generally described.  By his marriage he
  greatly increase d the possessions and prestige of the family, and he rose
  to be one of the mo st powerful feudal noblemen of his age in Normandy.
  When William the Conquero r invaded England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont
  furnished sixty armed vessels fo r the fleet and was left in charge of the
  government of Normandy when the Con queror started on the expedition.  He
  munificently endowed the Abbey of Pre'a ux, 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 Wale ran, Comte de
  Meullant, a great feudal nobleman of France.  She died in 1081. (P)

  Roger de BEAUMONT was born about 1010 in " of" Pont Audemer, N, France.
  IGI has abt 1022.  So does Roderick W Stuart, *R oyalty 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 w ell 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 des cended
  the Counts of Meulan, the old Earls of Leicester, and the old Earls of
  Warwick."
