• Notes

  He was Count of Laon at the beginning of the 10th century. We do not k n o w o n w h at date he received the county of Laon, perhaps from the execu t i o n o f C ount Gautier de Laon, in 892, whose widow he had perhaps marri e d . In 922, the Robertian Marquis Robert I revolted against King Charles II I t h e S i m ple and proclaimed himself king. In the spring of 922, the cit y o f L a o n w as besieged and taken. It is mentioned in 923 , when Count H e rb e r t I I of Vermandois occupied Rï ¿ ½ mois. Worried about this rising p o w e r , t he local barons, including Roger, called on King Raoul to help t h e m . R a oul put a temporary end to Herbert's ambitions, but gave him the c i t y o f P ï ¿ ½ r onne , because the latter kept King Charles III the Simp l e i n h i s j ails, who could thus arouse an opponent to Raoul at any time . R o g e r d ied three years later.
