succeeded as second Earl of Norfolk
and Suffolk. It is fitting that, after Richard's return to England after his captivity in Germany,
Roger Bigod was chosen to be one of the four Earls who carried the silken canopy for the King, as
Hugh Bigod had borne the Royal sceptre in the Royal procession.
Roger Bigod was appointed in 1189 by King Richard one of the Ambassadors to King Philip of
France, to obtain aid for the recovery of the Holy Land. In 1191 he was keeper of Hereford
Castle. He was chief judge in the King's Court from 1195 to 1202. In 120() he was sent by King
John as one of his messengers to summon William the Lion, King of Scotland, to do homage to him
in the Parliament which was held at Lincoln, and subsequently attended King John into Poitou; but
on his return he was won over to the opposition by the rebel Barons and became one of the
strongest advocates of the Charter of Liberty, for which he was excommunicated by
PopeInnocent III
