Henry I., who happened to hear See also:mass there one See also:day, was impressed by the See also:speed with which Roger read the service, and enrolled him in his own service. Roger, though uneducated, showed See also:great See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, !

talent for business, and Henry, on coming to the See also:throne, almost immediately made him See also:chancellor (See also:riot). Soon after Roger received the bishopric of Salisbury. In the Investitures controversy he skilfully managed to keep the favour of both the king and See also:Anselm. Roger devoted himself to administrative business, and remodelled it completely. He created the See also:exchequer See also:system, which was managed by him and his See also:family for more than a See also:century, and he used his position to heap up See also:power and riches. He became the first See also:man in See also:England after the king, and was in See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

William of See also:Corbeil. See also:Duke See also:Robert seems to have been put into his custody after Tinchebrai. Though Roger had sworn See also:allegiance to See also:Matilda, he disliked the Angevin connexion, and went over to See also:Stephen, carrying with him the royal treasure and administrative system (1135). Stephen placed great reliance on him, on his nephews, the bishops of See also:Ely and See also:Lincoln, and on his son Roger, who was treasurer. The king declared that if Roger demanded See also:half of the See also:kingdom he should have it, but chafed against the overwhelming See also:influence of the See also:official clique whom Roger represented. Roger himself had built at See also:Devizes the most splendid See also:castle in Christendom. He and his nephewsseem to have secured a number of castles outside their own dioceses, and the old bishop behaved as if he were an equal of the king. At a See also:council held in See also:June 1139, Stephen found a pretext for demanding a surrender of their castles, and on their refusal they were arrested. After a See also:short struggle all Roger's great castles were sequestrated. But Henry of See also:Winchester demanded the restoration of the bishop. The king was considered to have committed an almost unpardonable See also:crime in offering violence to members of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, in See also:defiance of the scriptural command, " See also:Touch not mine anointed." Stephen took up a defiant attitude, and the question remained unsettled. This See also:quarrel with the church, which immediately preceded the landing of the empress, had a serious effect on Stephen's fortunes. The moment that the See also:fortune of See also:war declared against him, the See also:clergy acknowledged Matilda. Bishop Roger, however, did not live to see himself avenged. He died at Salisbury in See also:December 1139. He was a great bureaucrat, and a builder whose See also:taste was in advance of his See also:age. But his contemporaries were probably justified in regarding him as the type of the bishop immersed in worldly affairs, ambitious, avaricious, unfettered by any high See also:standard of See also:personal morality.
Roger's See also:nephew See also:Alexander (d. 1148), who became bishop of Lincoln in 1123, was a typical See also:secular ecclesiastic of the See also:middle ages, wealthy, proud, ambitious and ostentatious. He founded monasteries, built castles at See also:Newark, See also:Sleaford and See also:Banbury, and restored his See also:cathedral at Lincoln after the See also:fire of 1145. He followed the policy of Roger, whose imprisonment he shared, and died after a visit to See also:Pope See also:Eugenius III. at See also:Auxerre, See also:early in 1148.
