Roger (Montreuil)
Roger († after 957) was a Count of Montreuil in the 10th century, succeeding his father Herluin, who had fallen in 945 .
Roger is mentioned while his father was still alive, when he defended Montreuil in 943 against another attack by Count Arnulf I of Flanders . The last time he is mentioned is 957, still in enmity with the Count of Flanders.
Roger had a son named Hugo who died in 961 and was buried in Saint-Rémy. At this point at the latest, Montreuil fell under the permanent control of the Counts of Flanders, which was only ended in 981 by Hugo Capet , who now made his follower Hugo von Abbeville lord of the entire Ponthieu .
