Roger I of Tosny

[3] A few years later, for an unknown reason, the pair were forced into exile and Tilliéres was taken from their custody (later given to Gilbert Crispin by Robert II).

[4] While his father gained a reputation for himself in Apulia, Roger did the same fighting the Muslims in Northern Iberia,[3] where the Christian states welcomed volunteers.

Roger fought for Ermesinde of Carcassonne, regent-countess of Barcelona after the death of her husband Ramon Borrell, helping her against the Muslim.

[6] [7] Before 1024, Roger and his father gained permission from Richard II to return to Normandy, and Raoul died soon afterwards.

According to Orderic Vitalis[10] Roger refused to serve the new duke, William II, because he was of illegitimate birth.
