Roger de Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury

Roger de Montgomerie, known as Roger the Great de Montgomery, was the first earl of Shrewsbury. His father was also Roger de Montgomerie, and was a relative, probably a grandnephew, of the duchess Gunnor, wife of duke Richard I of Normandy. The elder Roger had large holdings in central Normandy, chiefly in the valley of the Dives, which the younger Roger inherited.
