Sir Roger Bertram, Baron of Mitford

Roger Bertram, in the 12th of Henry II [1166], upon the assessment in aid of the marriage portion of the king's dau., certified his knight's fees to be six and a half; and, in the 18th of the same monarch [1172], paid £6 10s. scutage for not going in person nor sending soldiers upon the expedition then made into Ireland. To this feudal lord s. his son and heir, by Ada, his wife, William Bertram.

Roger Bertram was the baron in 1166; he replaced some of the motte and bailey's timber with stone, paying special attention to the curtain wall.

In 1149-1152 we find Roger de Bertram, the son of Hawise de Balliol, confirming to St. Mary's Abbey, York, the grant of the church of Stainton, made by Guy de Balliol, which church, he says in the charter, was given by his father, William, and his ancestor Wido de Bailliol—"pater meus Willelmus et avus meus Wido de Balliol.”
