Roger le Strange

 

 

John inherited his lands from his brother, Hamo, who died while on Crusade.

He was a marcher lord, and although he was summoned to fight against the Welsh, some of his income was derived from supplying the rebels. It is probable that he served in Gascony.

He died in 1311.

John appears in St George's Roll, E22, where he bears

Gules two lions passant argent a bordure indented or
