Biography
"... the third son, Roger de Breteuil, succeeded to the Earldom of Hereford and "had all the lands his father held in England" so that he was the owner of Swallowfield in 1071. He had a great position, and was the originator of the Domesday Survey, but joining with his brother-in-law Raoul de Gael, Earl of Norfolk, in a conspiracy against William Rufus in 1074-5, all his possessions were forfeited to the King..." (Russell)
