-- Roger --
Bigod is the name associated with Framlingham Castle in Suffolk. It is an imposing structure. The outer walls are forty-four
feet high and eight feet thick. Thirteen towers fifty-eight feet in height remain, along with a gateway and some outworks. In
early Roman times it was probably the site of the fortified earthwork that sheltered Saint Edmund when he fled from the
Danes in 870, but we cannot be sure of the authenticity of this tradition. The Danes seized the fort, but they lost it in 921; it
then remained a Crown possession, which passed into the hands of William the Conqueror when he became King. In 1100
Henry I granted the Castle to Roger Bigod, and possibly Roger was the one to erect the first masonry building.

When Roger died in 1107 he was suceeded by his eldest son, Willaim Bigod.
William drowned in the wreck of the White ship on 26th November 1120 and
Roger's second son, Hugh Bigod inherited all and took possession of the
estates.
