Roger Montgomery* seigneur of Montgomery and vicomte of the Hiesmois, witnessed in 1031 or 1032 a charter of Robert I, Duke of Normandy, for the abbey of St. Wandrille.

During the troubles of Duke William's minority he was exiled and went to Paris on account of the murder of Osbern, son of Herfast, the steward, by his son William de Montgomery. At some date unknown he founded a collegiate church for twelve secular canons at Troarn. He married Josceline, a niece of the duchess Gunnor.
