Talk:Roger de Busli

Untitled
The whole second paragraph is VERY dubious. How would a Norman marry another Norman in Tichill c1060, i.e. 6 years before the Norman Conquest? The genealogy website links are also dubious. For Sieur De Busli, it states that spouses and children are unknown, so how can it also say that Roger de Busli is his son? Some more reliable sources needed here.

The mispelling is direct from the genealogy site, which also omits capital letters from some place names, suggesting that is not a reliable source at all. Emeraude 13:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You are exactly right. The genealogy websites are notoriously unreliable. Although much about Roger de Busli is unknown, he was one of the major tenants of William I, and there is a great deal of documentation about him. I will try to flesh this out when I get a chance. Thanks for pointing it out.MarmadukePercy (talk) 18:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Seine-Inferieure is the old name of Seine-Maritime.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 19:01, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Bully, Seine-Maritime
The derivation of the name of Roger de Busli is given by Lewis Loyd in his definitive The Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families as Bully, Seine-Maritime.. This village is located some six miles due west of Neufchâtel-en-Bray, Seine-Maritime. It is known simply as Bully, and not Bully-le-Vicomte..

Roche Abbey
It is known that the co-founder of Roche Abbey in South Yorkshire was Richard de Busli, whose partner in the raising of the Abbey was Richard Fitz-Turgis (or FitzTurgis), later 'de Wickersley.' I believe that the de Busli who co-founded Roche was probably the great-nephew of Roger de Busli, as almost all accounts state that the great Norman baron had only one child who died young. Does anyone have any thoughts about the co-founder of Roche? I suspect it's the grandson of Roger de Busli's brother, but I have seen no definitive sources on this; it's mostly a matter of putting the pieces together.

 * According to one site (the Rotherham municipal website) Richard de Busli was the grandson of Arnaldus de Busli, brother of the Norman baron Roger de Busli..MarmadukePercy (talk) 08:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
