About William fitz Roger
William fitz Roger (died after 1295) was an Anglo-Norman cleric, judge and Crown official in late thirteenth-century Lordship of Ireland. He was Prior of the Irish House of the Knights Hospitallers at Kilmainham, and served as a Privy Councillor and as a justice in eyre (itinerant judge). He led several military expeditions (the Hospitallers were an order of fighting monks), but was a notoriously incompetent commander, whose campaigns invariably ended in failure. He served as Deputy Justiciar in 1284-5, and as acting Justiciar of Ireland in 1294.
