Roger Royall I

(1493 - 1562)

Soldier, palace guard

'''Roger Royall''' (1493 - 1562) was born during the reign of Henry VII. The Fairstead Parish Register, Essex #27649, show him as "brevart" in the service of Henry 8th from 1513 until 1538. Roger is mentioned as "fmal fon (small son) ROGER" observing a trial in which his father was a defendant.

Evidently a professional soldier, but he was also a land holder in Essexshire. He is shown as being a member of the Royal Palace Guard but shows service only in the area outside London. Will on file in Essex mentions his wife Nancy (no other name) and sons Roger and John.
