bertram's granddaughter rohesia de verdun[2] from alton, england was married to theobald le botiller, 2nd chief butler of ireland. after her husband's sudden death whilst travelling in poitou, france, she moved to her lands in ireland. she immediately set about fortifying the land with a castle. however, her quick tempered reputation deterred all potential architects. she then offered her hand in marriage (and thereby a share in her wealth) to the man who would build the castle to her liking. local legend has it, after their wedding banquet in the newly completed castle, she invited her husband to the bridal suite and urged him to view their estate from the large bedroom window. taking no chances with the castle's secrets, she promptly pushed her new husband from the window, where he plummeted towards his death. [3] the window was known thereafter as the murder window. rohesia became a nun in gracedieu priory, leicestershire, died there in 1247 and was buried in nearby belton parish church where her effigy may be seen. although it is generally accepted that rohesia originally commissioned the castle, much of it is thought to have been added by her son by theobald; john. [4]the name "castle roche" is thought to be derived from rohesia's castle.
