About 1195-1205, he conveyed a rent of £5 in Blunham, Bedfordshire to Richard Foliot, in marriage with an unnamed sister. In 1196-7 Abbot Samson of Bury St. Edmunds called upon him to acknowledge the services attached to his fees. He attended the Parliament in Lincoln, when William the Lion, King of Scots did homage to King John of England. In 1203 William de Warenne was to give him quittance for £100 sterling, a debt owed to the Jews; on the king's return from Bonneville, the king ordered that his lands mortgaged to the Jews were to be restored to him. In 1204 his name occurs in Northamptonshire.

On 22 April 1216 his lands in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Bedfordshire held under the Abbey of Bury St. Edmund were declared forfeit, as were those granted to him by the Abbot. On 3 August 1216 the Sheriffs of Warwickshire and Leicestershire were ordered to give his lands in those counties over to William de Boeley and Elyas his uncle.

He was presumably born before 1237, as his father is styled "senior" in 1258. They had four sons, Robert, Hugh, Knt., Stephen, Knt., and Nicholas, and one daughter, Eleanor. Sometime after 1254, she conveyed all her right in the manor of Alconbury Weston, Huntingdonshire to her nephew, Nicholas de Segrave.

In 1268 (or before), he and his wife, Eleanor, granted Sibton Abbey three acres of land in Ling, Norfolk, together with their villain, amd the advowson of the church of St. Margaret there. He is also probably the benefactor of Blythburgh Priory. He witnessed a charter of Thomas de Clare, Knt., in 1269. In 1271 he and his wife, Eleanor, granted a tenement held of his fee in Weybread, Suffolk to the Prior and Canons of Burley. He and his wife, Eleanor, were received into the confraternity of Burley Priory. In 1274-5 Richard de Kelton arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him and Avice widow of William Bouun touching a messuage and land in Weybread, Suffolk. In 1277 he was going for the king to Wales with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk.

In 1280 he and his wife, Eleanor, conveyed the manor of Browsover (in Clifton-on-Dunsmore), Warwickshire to Theobald Malegale and Nicholas Test, merchants of Lucca, to hold of them and of the heirs of Eleanor by yearly rent of one penny; against this Hugh Pecche and Ida his wife (Eleanor's mother) registered their claim.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.
