Great Video - thanks for posting this! As a Roche I know I am descended from Godebert de Fleming of Pembrokeshire, I believe both his sons Richard & Rodebert were Knights involved in the invasion.
They were as were Rodebert's sons Adam and David (if memory serves). Adam was granted a large estate on the north side of the River Slaney just across from Wexford Town. A really remarkable family!
Yes i'm just back from a visit to Pembrokeshire where I visited Roch Castle & St Jerome's Church in Lllangym both founded by Adam de la Roche (de Rupe) - fascinating history there!
@@DavyCR88 Sounds like a brilliant trip. I'm so chuffed that so many descendants of the invaders have got in touch with me. Keep in touch and do check out my book series!
@@ruadhbutler9143 Thanks, I have sent you a FB request, if you accept I can share the vids I have of Roch Castle and St Jerome's Church for you to view. St Jerome's actually contains the 1130 Pipe Roll which has Godebert de Fleming listed on it.
And that is my dad's farm

There is a castle Roche in Louth, stunning building. Would it have been from the same Roche family?
Thank you for sharing 🙂
That house is my nanny's house
Interesting.
