Events

• Biography: The continental origin of Roger de Montbegon, first Norman
baron of Hornby in Lancashire, has long eluded students of
English post-Conquest prosopography. The one charter given by
Roger for a French monastery provides no clue to the location of
Mons Begonis. By this charter Roger and his wife Cecilia granted land in 1094 to the Montgomery family's abbey of SaintMartin-de-Sees.' The greater part of what they gave was located in England, among the lands of the future honor of Lancaster.

Two smaller grants had probably both been part of the
maritagium of Roger's ManceUe wife Cecilia. These were the tithe of Bouelchis, and the land ofForesta; the latter is stated to have lain in the territory of Beaumont-sur-Sarthe close to the road to Le Mans, and to have been given to Cecilia by her mother Eva.
