; Per Wikipedia:
     "Roger Bigod (c. 1245 – bf. 6 December 1306) was 5th Earl of Norfolk.
Origins
     "He was the son of Hugh Bigod (1211-1266), Justiciar, and succeeded his father's elder brother Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (1209-1270) as 5th Earl of Norfolk in 1270.
Career
     "This earl is the hero of a famous altercation with King Edward I in 1297, which arose from the king's command that Bigod should serve against the King of France in Gascony, while Edward himself went to Flanders. The earl asserted that by the feudal tenure of his lands he was only compelled to serve across the seas in the company of the king himself, whereupon Edward said, "By God, Earl, you shall either go or hang," to which Bigod replied, "By the same oath, O king, I will neither go nor hang."[3]
     "The Earl gained his point and after Edward had left for France, together with Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford, Roger prevented the collection of an aid for the war and forced Edward to confirm the charters in this year of 1297 and again in 1301. The historian William Stubbs reckoned Bigod and Bohun as "but degenerate sons of mighty fathers; greater in their opportunities than in their patriotism."[4]
     "The earl had done good service for the King in the past. In August 1282, for instance, contemporary accounts record Bigod "going to Wales on the king's service." During his absence in Ireland, Bigod had sent letters nominating Reginald Lyvet and William Cadel to act as his attorney in England for the year.[5] Reginald Lyvet was probably the son of Gilbert de Lyvet, who was Lord Mayor of Dublin for several terms in the early thirteenth century, and was a partisan of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Some scholars have wondered how English barons like Bigod and the de Clares kept such tight hold on their Irish lands during a time when the English grip on Ireland was starting to weaken. Apparently part of the secret was delegation of authority, as in this case by the earl to his lieutenants Lyvet and Cadel.[6]
Marriages
     "Bigod married firstly Aline Basset, widow of Hugh le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer (d.1265), and daughter and heiress of Sir Philip Basset of Soham, Cambridgeshire, by his first wife Hawise de Lovaine, daughter of Sir Matthew de Lovaine, by whom he had no issue.[7]
     "He married secondly Alice of Hainault, daughter of John II de Avenes, Count of Hainault, by Philippine, daughter of Henri II, Count of Luxembourg and Roche, Marquis of Arlon, by whom he had no issue.[7]
Death
     "Bigod died 6 December 1306.[7]
Succession
     "In 1302 the elderly and childless Bigod surrendered his earldom to the king and received it back entailed "to the heirs of his body". This had the effect of disinheriting his brother John. Thus, when Roger died without issue in December 1306, his title became extinct, and his estates escheated to the crown and were eventually bestowed on Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk.[8]

; The 5th and last Earl of Norfolk of this 1140/1 or 1189 creation, another Roger (le) Bigod, also served as Marshal at EDWARD I's coronation but was stripped of the office by the King on refusing to take an army to Gascony in early 1297. After a long-standing dispute with the King over the confirmation of his charters and Magna Carta itself he in 1302 surrendered the Earldom for regrant together with a life interest in additional territorial possessions bringing him an annual income of £1,000 (over £24,000,000 in late-1990s terms). On his dying childless in late 1306 the Earldom and Marshalcy reverted to the Crown, whereas if he had not made the surrender four years earlier the former at any rate would have passed to his brother.² Roger Bigod 5th Earl of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England was also known as Roger le Bigod Earl of Norfolk.^8,17 He was 5th Earl of Norfolk (Burke's says 5th Earl, Weic MCS says 6th Earl.)^18,2
