Archbishop Roger effectively led the clerical opposition to Thomas Becket of Canterbury. When Becket was martyred in 1170 Roger was naturally vilified by Becket's numerous biographers. Yet no full-scale account of the career of Roger himself has ever been written. This collection of his charters - introduced by a 'Life' - aims at least partially to fill this gap, and by showing how Roger administered his diocese, reveals another side of this enigmatic archbishop.
