“ROGER DE TONY, Knt., of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, and seigneur of Conches, Acquigny, Nogent-le-Roi, Portes, and Toéni (now Tosny), born about 1160 (of age about 1180). He married in 1175 CONSTANCE DE BEAUMONT, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Viscount of Beaurnont-en-Maine, seigneur of Beaumont-le-Vicomte, Fresnay, and Ste.-Suzanne, by Lucy, daughter of Richer de seigneur of by his wife, Béatrix [see BEAUMONT 4 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Ralph, Knt., Roger, Knt., and Richard [Treasurer of Angers], and one daughter, Margaret (wife of Malcolm, 6th Earl of Fife). About 1190-1200 he granted the nuns of Litdemore, Oxfordshire 20 acres of his demesne upon Moderul, Oxfordshire. Shortly before his departure on Crusade to Palestine in 1190, he and Gilbert de Tillières attended King Richard I at Verneuil, where the king lent them his seal for a grant which they wished to make to Saint-Evroul. In the same year, Roger likewise issued an act at Nogent-le-Roi for the neighboring Abbey of Coulombs. He was present at Acre in 1191. He was with King Richard I at Speyer, Austria in 1194. In 1196 he served as surety in the treaty concluded between the Count of Flanders and the King of France. In 1199 the king restored the manor of Saham Toney, Norfolk to him. The same year his wife, Constance, was granted the manor of Alrichescote (in South Tawton), Devon by King John. The same year King John ordered that Constance, Lady of Conches, be quit of the debt of 21 silver marks which she owed Benoit the Jew of Verneuil upon the payment of the principal. Roger served as one of the sureties for King John of England for the treaty of Le Goulet in 1200. Following the capitulation of Rouen in 1204, Roger lost his French and Norman lands. He was granted the hundreds of Grimeshou and Weyland, Norfolk by King John. In 1206 a dispute arose between him and the canons of St. Paul's regarding their right of common in a wood in Caddington, Bedfordshire. He founded the nunnery of St Giles in the Wood, near Flamstead, Hertfordshire. At an unknown date, he issued a charter for the lepers of Chartres. SIR ROGER DE TONY died in 1208-9. His widow, Constance, was living in 1226. She died 2 October, before 1236.
