Life
[edit]Clinton was the nephew of Geoffrey de Clinton, an advisor to King Henry I of England.[1]
Clinton had been an archdeacon before his elevation to the episcopate,[2] either of Buckingham (1119–1129)[1] or of Lincoln (c.1129).[3] Geoffrey de Clinton was said to have promised King Henry three thousand marks if the king would appoint Roger a bishop.[1][4] Roger was nominated in October 1129, and consecrated on 22 December 1129.[5] Roger was part of the deputation to the papal curia in 1139 that defended King Stephen of England against the charge of breaking his oath to the Empress Matilda.[1] Another member of the delegation included Arnulf of Lisieux, who was an archdeacon at the time, but who presented the case.[6] Roger also attended the Second Lateran Council in 1139.[7] The Gesta Stephani claimed that Roger was heavily involved in military affairs during the reign of King Stephen.[1]
Clinton died on 16 April 1148.[5] Clinton was responsible for establishing Buildwas Abbey,[8] a Cistercian house in Shropshire in 1135.
