House Pitres

The House of Pitres is the family of the Counts of Hereford from 1141 to 1155. The progenitor is Roger de Pitres from the Norman Pîtres , who came to England during the Norman conquest . As Hereditary Sheriffs of Gloucestershire and Lord High Constable , they held important offices in the kingdom for four generations. In 1141 they received the title of Earl of Hereford ; a generation later, the male line died out.
