Administrative History | The date of death of Sir Roger is incorrect according to Major General the Hon. George Wrottesley, in "The Okeovers of Okeover"[1904] , as Sir Roger was sent in 1334 to raise men and lead them to Scotland, as part of the English forces occupying Scotland. See pages 38-40 for details about Sir Roger's activities in Scotland and the assumption that Sir Richard de Hartshull had misremembered the date of death, which might have taken place, possibly, in the spring of 1337, and page 167 for a transcriptof the document. |
