In 1263 Roger de Clifford, John Giffard of Brimpsfield, and other local dissidents successfully laid siege to Gloucester Castle in an attempt to remove the French knight Mari de Bezille from his office as county sheriff. The castle was later garrisoned for the Crown by Roger de Clifford who, having returned to his allegiance, was given custody of it at the end of 1263. In Feb. 1264 he was ordered to fortify and hold the bridge at Gloucester, while all other bridges on the Severn were to be destroyed. In 1264 he played a prominent part in the Siege of Nottingham, where he took Simon de Montfort the younger as prisoner. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264; he was among those who were released on condition of appearing in parliament when summoned. He fought for the king at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. In recognition of his services, the king released him from a debt of £399 17s. and granted him lands in Warwickshire and Leicestershire.

In 1286 Roger, Vicar of Tenbury, was sued in the Exchequer by William Barrett, Chamberlain of London, and another for 12 marks which Sir Roger de Clifford, being deceased, owed the plaintiffs. In 1290 Cuntassa, late the wife of Roger of Clifford, requested the king's grace, stating that she has been grievously distrained by the sheriffs for various debts of her husband, but that she is not his heir, and only holds what the king has granted to her for life, and is unable to render the debts. In 1292 his widow was summoned by writ of Quo Warranto to satisfy the king whether she claimed to have free warren and hold pleas of the Crown in her manor of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire.
