!Roger was born D'Abitot, Earl of Worcestershire and its Sheriff as he succeeded to this title from his father.   He was deprived of his
estates through the heavy indignation of King Henry because in his headlong fury he commanded one of the King's servants to be killed.  The lands were then bestowed upon his sister Emeline who had married Walter De Beauchamp . Roger could no longer stay in the area because he was in danger from the king so he sought safety elsewhere.  He was probably living in Wales and had special
reliance on the friendliness of the Over-Lord of his Herefordshire Land, Ralf De Toeni, (one of the most powerful of all the great nobles in England) He was then given possession of a tract of land in Herefordshire from this Ralf DeToeni and apparently took the name of Ernaldus De Powis to avoid anyone who might be searching for him because of his disfavor in the king's eyes, and besowed this land upon his son William.
Also witnessing this transfer and agreeing to it is is sister Emeline and her husband De Beauchamp. In effect, he was given athority over property that his sister now owned. (Ralf De Toeni was an ver-Lord for the family holdings).  Powis was a principality in North Wales.
