Roger de Beaumont succeeded to the family estates in Normandy,
as Sire de Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Preaux, Torville,
and du Ponteautorf and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellemont), by
which last name he came to be generally described.  By marriage
he greatly increased his possessions and prestige of the family
and he rose to become one of the most powerful feudal noblemen
of his age in Normandy.  When William the Conqueror invaded
England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels
for the fleet and was left in charge of the government of
Normandy when the Conqueror started on the expedition.  He
munificently endowed the Abbey of Preux of which in late life he
became a monk.  He was buried in this monastery in Pontaudemer,
Normandy, France.
