(b). Will. de Jumieges, p. 157 - by Orderic. In consequence he was styled sometimes Roger of Spain (Orderic, vol i, p. 180; vol iii, p. 338), or Roger the Spaniard (Idem, vol ii, p. 64). However, if the Roger, son of Count Rodulf (cf, p. 755, note "a"), who according to the Sens Chron. led an army from Normandy to Spain, can be identified with Roger de Toeni, he went there at a much earlier date.And after defeating the Saracens, married a Spanish woman and lived there for 15 years. Due to treachery of the natives he lost most of his men and, leaving his wife in Spain, returned to Normandy; where he made a concord with Duke Richard, who was displeased at the loss of his army. Afterwards Roger was killed, fighting against a certain neighbor (Rec. des Hist. de France, vol x, p. 223). This Roger's feats in Spain are recorded also by Ademar, who calls him simply Roger, and does not say how long he stayed there (Idem, p. 156). No other Norman than Roger de Toeni seems to be known, who couldbe identified with the hero of these stories. Cf. Prentout, op. cit., p. 86.
