ROGER I. (10311101), ruler of Sicily, was the youngest son of Tancred of Hauteville.
Roger, the Great Count of Sicily, died on the 22nd of June 1101 in his seventieth year and was buried in S. Trinit of Mileto.

 Looking Back on the Second Crusade
Roger of Howden, for example, lifted his account of the crusade verbatim from Henry of Huntingdon, while the description of these events in the annals of the Cistercian abbey of Waverley in Surrey is copied word for word from Robert of Torigni.
Roger of Howden's lack of originality is especially disappointing in view of his importance as a source for the Third Crusade.
Nor are accounts of the Third Crusade completely devoid of references to the Second: Roger of Howden, for example, had the crusaders tell the Muslims in 1191 that they intended restoring the Christian possessions to the frontiers as at the time of Louis' sojourn in the East.

 THE SUPPRESSION OF THE ORDER
At the end of the twelfth century, Roger, parson of Howden, a former king`s clerk, recorded in his `Chronicle` an anecdote of King Richard I of England responding to a rebuke by the famous preacher Fulk of Neuilly.
Roger was not against the use of force, but he claimed that the military orders, by using force against the Saracens, had made them resistant to the Christian faith.
Yet, although Roger's writings show that such accusations were still around in the 1260s, he was the only writer in western Europe to record them during this period, and his views can in no way be regarded as typical.
