Who having between 1068 and 1071, been made provost of the manor of Berkeley by Earl William Fitz-Osbern (to whom it had been granted at the Conquest), took the name of de Berkeley from his residence there, and was confirmed in his office by the King about 1080. At the time of the Survey, 1086, Berkeley was farmed by him from the Crown. Rogerus senior de Berkeley from the possession of Berkeley Castle. The Castle says Rudder was began in the 17th Henry I by Roger de Berkeley the 2nd and finished by Roger the 3rd in the reign of King Stephen. At first it comprehended only the inmost of the three gates and what was within the same; the two outmost, and all the buildings within them, were added by Thomas, eldest son of Robert and by Thomas 2nd in the 6th Edward III (1332-3) and of Thomas the 3rd (8th Edward III) Smith and Fosbrokes History of the Berkely. A plan of the buildings is given in Parkers Domestic Archiecture, vol. III Part II. The Roger bestowed several churches upon the priory of Stanely, with the tithes and lands thereunto belonging, and being sborn a monke there, in 1091, restored the lordship of Shotesbore, which he had long detained from that convent. He was tenant "in capite" of Dursley, Cubberley, Dodington, &c., and (not improbably) was identical with "Roger," farmer of Barton Regis, Bristol. On 17 January 1091 he became a monk of St. Peter's, Gloucester, and died 1093. Source: CPII: 123-124. He was s. at decease by his nephew The family of Berkeley established in England at the Norman conquest, was founded by a leading chief in the Conquerors army, named.
