Rougere Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
N. Rogere and Robert Rogere appear in the Norman Exchequer Rolls of 1180 and 1195. In England the name became very common. Brianston, in Dorsetshire, was “the seat of the ancient and Knightly family of the Rogers. This was held in Grand Sergeantry by a pretty odd jocular tenure; viz. By finding a man to go before the King’s army for forty days when he should make war in Scotland, bare-headed and bare-footed, in his Shirt and Linnen-drawers, holding in one hand a bow without a string, in the other an arrow without feathers.” - Camden. It was from these Rogers that Brianston passed by purchase to its present owners, the Portmans: and it had come to them (whether by purchase or marriage does not appear) as early as the time of Henry IV. Leland, speaking of Weymouth, tells us: “Ther was a faire House of Freres in the Est Part of the Town; and the chief House of Rogers in Dorsetshire was Founder and Patrone of it.” Richard, the last of the family, is represented by Lord Clarendon as “a gentleman of a rare temper and excellent understanding, passionately inclined to advance the King’s service, and having a wonderful influence in the county, for which he served as one of the knights in parliament, so that his death was an unspeakable loss to the King.” He left two daughters his co-heiresses, who both made brilliant marriages. Elizabeth was the wife, first of Charles, Viscount Mansfield, eldest son of William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle (who died in his father’s lifetime): and secondly, of Charles Stuart, sixth Duke of Lenox and third Duke of Richmond; and Rogersa married Sir Henry Belasyse, eldest son of John, first Lord Belasyse of Worleby. But neither of them left children.
There was a family of this name (supposed to be derived from the Dorsetshire house) seated at Benham in Berkshire from 12 Henry VI. to 4 Henry VII. Near Cheping Lanburn in that county Leland “sawe a greate Warren of Conies longginge unto Mastar Estesex, who is Lord of the Towne by his Mothar the sole Dowghtar and Heyre of Mastar Rogers, by whom he hathe bettar than three hundred Marks of Lands by the Yere.” There seems to have been another branch seated near Bridport.
