Sir Roger Tempest, of Bracewell

• Sir Roger Tempest, son of John was born abt. 1242 in Bracewell, Yorkshire, England. He married Alice de Waddington, daughter and heiress of William or Walter de Waddington in abt 1262. He was witness to an award between Walter de Remington and William de Roncaster. Roger died before 1293.
• ALT birth date: Sir Roger Tempest III, born say 1226, d. between 12 November 1287 and June 1288 = Alice de Waddington
• Sir Roger Tempest III. EBT says he was "born say 1226." The first notice of Roger identified by EBT is dated by her before 6 July 1247 when he was witness to a grant of the manor of Elslack (next to Bracewell) by Nicholas Ward to William of York (William of Ebor.), Provost of Beverley (Collect. Topo. et Geneal. Vol 6. p. 132. No T 18). She dates this from the time William of York was appointed Bishop of Salisbury (her citation is the Dictionary of National Biography; the current online edition of DNB says he was elected Bishop of Salisbury 8 December 1246, receiving his temporalities in 1247). If this reference is to Roger III, it would suggest that he was born not later than 1226. However, the next reference to him is 20 years later, so perhaps the reference to Roger is to an earlier Roger Tempest, maybe a brother of Roger III's father, Richard.
