Roger de Pitres (also called Roger de Pistri) (d. bef. 1083), a Norman, was the Sheriff 
of Gloucester under William the Conqueror and constable of Gloucester Castle.
Life[edit]

Roger's origins are confirmed in his territorial appellation, de Pitres; he was a Norman 
from Pītres, Eure, canton of Pont-de-l'Arche.[1] He followed William the Conqueror to 
England in 1066.[2] Roger had been an adherent of Earl William FitzOsbern and owed 
much of his landed wealth to this association.[3] After the death of Earl William in 
1071, Roger was more closely associated with the crown.[3] He was sheriff of 
Gloucester from 1071[4] and constable of Gloucester castle, which he constructed.[5] 
Members of his family succeeded him in these hereditary offices.[a] His brother Durand 
succeeded him as sheriff by 1083.[4] Both Roger de Pitres and his brother Durand 
were buried at St. Peter's Abbey in Gloucester.[5]

Family[edit]

Roger's wife was named Adeliza (Eunice-?) and together they had:
Walter of Gloucester, succeeded his father as Sheriff of Gloucester[1][6]
Herbert, of whom little is known other than he predeceased his brother Walter.[1]
