From www.findagrave.com
Roger de Tony/Toeni of Paincastle, Radnoshire, Kirtling, Brinkley, Long Staton and Whittlesford, Wales, of Cambridgeshire, Carnanton in Mawgan, Cornwall, Walthamstow, Essex, Gardsington, Oxfordshire, Stratford Tony, Wiltshire, Elmley Lovett, Wocestershire. Baron of Flamstead, Hertfordshire.
Second but eldest surviving son of Ralph IV de Toeni and Petronilla or Pernel de Lacy. Grandson of Roger IV de Toeni and Constance de Beaumont, Sir Walter de Lacy Lord of Meath and Margaret de Braose.
Husband of Alice de Bohun, the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun V and Maud d'Eu. They had two children:
* Alice, wife of Sir Walter Beauchamp
* Ralph VII de Toeni, Lord Flamstead
By an unknown mistress or wife he had another son, Geoffrey.
Roger was born on Michaelmas (September) at Castle Maud in Radnor Wales in 1235. His marriage contract between Roger and Alice was made when he was just three years old and approved by King Henry on the 30th of June 1239. Alice's maritagium included the manors of Newton Toney and East Coulston, Wiltshire. His father died when he was only four, the care of his lands was entrusted to Queen Eleanor.
In 1256 Roger received a licence to hunt with his own dogs for hare, fox, cat and badgers in the counties of Southampton, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. He crossed the seas in 1262 with the Queen, summoned to be at Hereford in Feb of 1263 for warring against Llywelyn, and he sided with King Henry against the Barons.
Roger resided at South Tawton, Devonshire, and Flamstead, Hereford. Alice was living in 1255, and he married again to an Isabel after 1255. Some records show her as his fourth wife. Roger died shortly before 12 May 1264, possibly his burial date. Isabel was living in February of 1265.
From Constance Demain Saunders' book "The Tony Family":
The Lady Petronilla was left with a young son Roger, named of course after Roger who died at Reading. He was in ward to Humphrey de Bohun, called the "Good Earl." of Hereford and Essex, who bore, through his mother, Maud, daughter of Geoffrey FitzPiers, Earl of Essex, the celebrated badge of the Knight of the Swan. According to the custom of the time, the good Earl arranged to keep the tony estates in his own family, therefore married his second daughter, Alice, to young Roger V in 1524. But although Earl Humphrey soon took up arms against King Henry, he did not succeed in carrying his son-in-la with him. Roger fought on the Royal side at Lewes, and was taken prisoner there in 1264. Afterward we hear nothing of him, save that he appears to have died sometime in 1264, according to the date of an "extent" (survey of his possessions) following his Inqisition Post Mortem. (The I.P.M. itself has disappeared.)
