Roger of Salisbury (died 1247) was a Bishop of Bath and Wells (previously Bath).

Life

Roger was a

prebend of Netheravon in the diocese of Salisbury.[1] In 1223 he had the prebend of Teinton Regis in the diocese of Salisbury, and held that prebend until he became bishop.[2] He was named to the office of precentor of Salisbury in early 1227.[3]

Roger was elected about 3 February 1244 and consecrated 11 September 1244.

William of Bitton I, who eventually succeeded Roger as bishop, managed to arrange a compromise.[5] Roger died on 21 December 1247[4] and was buried at Bath.[6] He should not be confused with Roger of Salisbury, Bishop of Salisbury
, who died in 1139.
