Seigneur of Dudzeele and of Straten.
"Roger, like many other French and Flemish men-at-arms and knights, played a role in the Hundred Years War. In September 1379, he was present, along with his brothers Jean and Gérard, at the defense of Audenarde serving the count of Flanders against the rebellious forces of Ghent. The siege was lifted in December 1379. And in 1385 Roger was in command of two hundred Bretonnes lances and responsible for defending Damme, the port of Bruges, and Aerdenbourg. However, in an abundance of confidence that his soldiers and the citizens of Damme could defend themselves he departed for Bruges. When the leader of the Ghentenarens, François Ackerman heard of his departure he decided to conduct a surprise attack on Damme and succeeded in capturing the city on 17 July. Roger had left Élisabeth at Damme as she was with child and near giving birth. Ackerman treated Élisabeth and several other noble Flemish ladies with great respect. These noble ladies were not released from captivity until the French and their Flemish allies were able to retake Damme on 27 August. In the process of liberating the town the French caused much of it to be destroyed and the noble ladies were extracted with difficulty."
