A charter of King Henry I's Confirmation to Shrewsbury Abbey dated around May 1121, and both Roger and his brother Robert attested it it formally. It reads "Ego Rogerius filius Corbet subscripsi. Ego Robertus frater ejus sub scipsi." Between 1121 and 1136, Roger Corbet gave the vill of Winsley to the Abbey of St. Peter. This charter was attested to by his brother Robert. In King Stephen's Charter, confirming, 1136, Roger Corbet's grant of Wnelega to Shrewsbury Abbey, there is a passage that says that Roger's act was with the concession of his sons William and Evrard. Roger Fitz corbet died in 1121, and was succeed by his son, William.
