Roger de Glanville is noticed on the Medieval Lands project. [1] He was the son of Herve de Glanville and an unknown wife. The primary source which confirms Roger’s parentage has not been identified. However, the charters in which the Glanville family are named, in particular the charter under which his supposed brother Ranulf founded Leiston abbey and his own charter in which he names his own brother Hervé, suggest that he may have been a younger son of Hervé de Glanville.
This suggestion is consistent with the chronology of his career. The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records "Rogerus de Glanville iv milites de feodo uxoris suæ" in Essex in the fee of William de Montfichet. Benedict of Peterborough records the participation of "Rogerus de Glanvil" at the siege of Acre in Dec 1190.
His second wife is noticed when "Roger de Glanvill and Gundreda the countess his wife" donated land "in Bungey" to Bungey nunnery, confirmed 13 Mar 1235.
He married firstly Christiana, daughter of unknown. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.
He married secondly (after 1177) as her second husband, Gundred, widow of HUGH Bigod Earl of Norfolk. “Rogerus de Glanvilla” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Middeltune” to Leiston abbey, for the souls of “meæ et...comitissæ Gundredæ uxoris meæ et...uxoris meæ Christinæ et...Hervei fratris mei”, by undated charter. A charter of King Henry II confirmed donations to Bungay Nunnery by “Rogeri de Glanvill et Gundredæ comitissæ uxoris meæ” of property at Bungay. It is probably a safe conclusion that Roger de Glanville’s “countess Gundred” was the widow of the earl of Norfolk as no other countess of this name has been identified at that time in England.
He is not known to have had children.
