Roger had been an adherent of Earl William FitzOsbern and owed much of his landed wealth to this association. After the death of Earl William in 1071, Roger was more closely associated with the crown. He was sheriff of Gloucester from 1071 and constable of Gloucester castle, which he constructed. members of his family succeeded him in these hereditary offices. His brother Durand succeeded him as sheriff by 1083. both Roger de Pitres and his brother Durand were buried at St. Per's Abbey in Gloucester. [1]
