Roald 'Le Strange' or "Extraneus' seems to have migrated from Brittany to England (hence his second name, whether in its French or Latin form). But it is less certain that his family were actually of Breton origin.
He testified to a charter before 1122 and was a tenant of Alan fitz Fleald in Mileham, Norfolk; also held land in Hunstanton, Norfolk;
He married Maud, daughter of Ralph fitz Herlewin or Ralph de Hunstanton
As far as is known Roland possessed no property elsewhere than in Norfolk; yet, early in the reign of Henry II, all of his sons were enfeoffed in lands in Shropshire in the middle of the twelfth century.
