Rotrou (archbishop of Rouen)

Rotrou or Rotrodus or Rotrode or Rothrud (died c. 27 November 1183[1]) was the bishop of Évreux from 1140[2] and twenty-fifth archbishop of Rouen from 1165, a year after the death of Archbishop Hugh IV, until his own death in either 1183 or 1184[citation needed].

He was the fourth son of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, and Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey II of Perche.

Margaret wrote him a letter beseeching him to send a relative of theirs to Sicily to assist her in the government.

The man Rotrou sent was Stephen du Perche, later archbishop of Palermo.

His successor was Gautier de Coutances, the companion of Richard the Lionheart.
