Roger de Newburgh

Roger de Newburgh (b. 1135-1192) was an Anglo-Norman Aristocrat and son of Robert de Neubourg.

He settled in Dorset, England, where he inherited from his father the manor of Winfrith and extensive estates in that in that county. In 1172 Roger de Newburg and wife Matilda (Whom he married in 1170), founded the cistercian Abbey of Binden in Dorset which they endowed with lands, as appears by their charter of that year; and in this monastery they and some ten generations of their descendants were sepultures. He died about 1192 and was buried in Bindon Abbey. Rogers son and heir was Robert II de Newburgh.
