Sir Roger de Northwode was a son of Sir Stephen de Northwode, Knight and his wife, Joan. Both parents were born before 1178Roger de Northwolde married twice: First to Bona (prob de Waltham) and Second to Juliana.He may have been born earlier than, 1230, approximately 1215.Some confusion exists over when he received his knighthood, as it is cited that in September, 1265, when served as steward of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was also "a knight commissioned in Kent to take the lands of the rebels into the king's hands".It has also been stated that (again) in September, but of 1275, he received his knighthood. Therefore he was knighted sometime between September 1265-75, this much is certain, and he was thereafter commissioned on numerous public services. Specifically he was appointed Constable of Dover Castle and held this office until about the turn of 1259. He was also Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports after 1255 but before 1258 when he was replaced by Nicholas de Moels.Sir Roger de Northwode 'took an interest in the old monastery of St. Sexburge for it had been long neglected. He made many repairs and donated to the monastery, "wherefore among the servants of God, he is to this day called the restorer of that house."' Archaeologia cantiana - Google BooksPage 12Then commences the chronicle of the Northwodes, written in Latin, which we render into English; and to secure ourselves from error, we make the translation a servilely literal one:—"In the first place, Sir Stephen de Northwode, Knight, was seized of 310 acres (1.3 km2) of land, 500 acres (2.0 km2) of marsh in the Isle of Shepeye, and four score and 10 acres (40,000 m2) of marsh with their pertinencies in Upcherche, and of other manors, lands, and tenements in the county of Kent. And he had a son, by name Sir Roger, who succeeded by inheritance to those manors, lands, and tenements, after the death of the said Sir Stephen his father, as in fact appears by the letters patent of the Lord Henry, late King of England, son of King John, the date whereof is 8 January, in the forty-first year of his reign, by which the said late King granted, that those tenements in Shepeye and Upcherche (contained in the said letters patent), which are now called North- wode Scepeye, which were formerly held of the said late King, as of his manor of Myddelton,3 in Gavelkind, should henceforth be held, by the said Sir Roger, of the said late King and his heirs, by service of the twentieth part of one knight's-fee, and by certain services also annually to be rendered. Which Sir Roger married Bona Fitzbernard,4 and on account of the great affection which the same Sir Roger bore to the monastery of St. Sixburge, in the same island,—considering that the said monastery, owing to defect of right government, had fallen to ruin,—he, with no sparing bounty, relieved it from the greatest penury ; wherefore, among the servants of God there, he is to this day called the restorer of that house. Of which Sir Roger and Bona issued Sir John de Northwode. The said Roger died the 9th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1286, and the fifteenth5 year of the reign of Edward, son of the aforesaid King, and he and the said Bona are buried before the altar of the parish church of Menstre, in Shepeye.Sir Roger de Northwode seems to have married twice. In his first marriage, Sir Roger de Northwode may have married Bona Fitzbernard, otherwise Bona de Waltham. (It is not certain that she had formerly been widowed or if de Waltham was her maiden name). Already a wealthy man, this marriage secured him his wife's possessions of the Manors of Shorne and Thornham.Archaeologia cantiana - Google BooksAnd the said Sir John, (son of Roger de Northwode, born about 1254,) succeeded him as son and heir, and did homage and relief to the said Lord Edward, late King of England, for his lands coming to him by inheritance after the death of the said Sir Roger, as appears among the Records of the Exchequer, in Easter Term, the eighteenth year of the foresaid Lord Edward. Which Sir John married the Lady Joan de Badlesmere, lady of the manors of Horton near Canterbury, and Beausfelde near Dover in the county of Kent; she possessed also certain tenements in Southwerke, in the county of Surrey, and rents in the city of London. Of which Sir John and Joan issued Sir John, the eldest son, James, Thomas, Richard, Simon, and Humphrey. The said James died without heir of his body. Sir John, the eldest son of Sir John Northwode and Joan Badlesmere, married Agnes, one of the daughters of Sir William de Grandisson and Sibilla his wife, and, with the consent of the said Sir John, his father, endowed the said Agnes with the manor of Northwode Chasteners at the door of the church.. }
