ROGER DE MONTGOMERIE, called le Poitevin, Earl of Lancaster, and Count of Marche,5 was involved in the misfortunes of his family, which taking part with Robert, Duke of Normandy, in his vain efforts to supplant Henry I. on the throne of England, lost all its possessions both in England and Wales, as well as many of those in Normandy. In 1094, he gave the priory of St. Martin's, in Lancaster, to the abbey of St. Martin de S‚es in France. He married Almodis, daughter and heiress of Adelbert, Count of Marche, whose son dying in 1091, Roger and his wife succeeded to his estates and honors. Upon the expulsion of his family from England in 1102, he withdrew to the country of his wife, and fixed his residence at the castle of Charroux, which gave him the surname of le Poitevin. He had a long war to sustain against Hugh de Lusignan, his wife's cousin, who claimed the County of Marche, with arms in his hands. He left this quarrel as a heritage to his descendants.[Aliva Basset.ged]
