  *******************************
  Roger D'Oyly, Esq. of Escote, Bampton, and Kencote, co. Oxon., eldest son and heir, was of age long before his father's death, and in 1267 obtained present possession of three carucates of land in Bampton, and the reversion, after the determination of the estates of Claye and Feteplace therein, of the manors of Estcote and Kencote;[183] and thus, in 7 Edw.

Roger D'Oyly attained a good old age, engaged in the martial expeditions of Edward I., and was summoned to perform military service, in person, against the Scotch in 1301.[187] The precise date of his death is unknown, but it was before 1309, for in 2 Edward II. Walter de Gloucester, escheator within Trent, was commanded to take possession for the King of all those lands which were Roger D'Oyly's, defunct, held of Hugh de Plessetis;[188] Roger's heir being no doubt a minor at the time. Roger D'Oyly's wife is unrecorded; but it seems very certain she was the heiress presumptive of Robert Napparius, lord of Pushull, co. Oxon., in Pirton hundred; and that she died before him, as both her sons were successive heirs to that manor after the death of Napparius; Roger D'Oyly's issue being,
