Roger like
his father before him was summoned to serve his King against the Scots in
1301. He had been granted the estate at Melton-on-the-Hill in
Yorkshire, renamed centuries later as High Melton, at
the same time as owning an estate at Helmingham, Suffolk.
However whether it was a family feud or for some other reason (family
intrigue) he never became Lord of Hodsock. He died in 1317.
