Roger of Salisbury

English cleric and politician. He was appointed chancellor under Henry II 1100 and bishop of Salisbury 1101. He was next in power to the king and ruled in his absence, introducing many reforms. On Henry's death 1135 he went over to Stephen. His greed and acquisition of castles angered the barons, who removed him from office and forced him to surrender the castles 1139.
