| | The SS HyperTree: Roger de Beaumont |
 | | When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, Roger de Beaumont furnished sixty armed vessels for the fleet and was left in charge of the government of Normandy when the Conqueror started on the expedition. |
 | | "ROGER DE BEAUMONT, SIRE DE PONTEAUDEMER (Humphrey de Veulles...,Touroude..., Torf), born about 1010, succeeded to the family estates in Normandy, as Sire du Ponteaudemer, Seigneur de Veulles, Pre'aux, Torville, and du Ponteaitorf, and Seigneur de Beaumont (or Bellomont), by which last name he came to be generally described. |
 | | Whether he was descended from the lords of Beaumont-le-Roger, near Eure (de Dellomonte) we cannot say, but there was a Roger de Beaumont recorded in the Domesday Book as holding Sturminster Marshal in Dorset, and this Roger certainly took his name from Beaumont in Normandy. |
