Aaron's son (ie Aaron III) is a MP and in his About Me is the following text (unsourced):
"Religious upheaval in Sicily forced Aaron Fitz Rogers, a merchant of Rome, to flee to London where he engaged in business. The Rogers Family were given the right to bear the coat of arms accredited to Grand Count Roger I of Sicily. Aaron Rogers was born in Italy c1260/70.
1. Aaron FitzRoger born c1265 of Rome, Italy; died c1330 London, Middlesex, England. The family business was merchandising after settling in Kent, Gloucestershire and Somersetshire. "
This needs to be sourced, from several authors. If he was allowed to use the COA of Roger I of Sicily, he would have had to be Roger I Hauteville"s son.
Roger I Hauteville was one of the most powerful kings of his time.

Why would a son, who could inherit the entire kingdom, leave? With no other evidence, this sounds like a fable. Rogers sons, even illegitimate, were acknowledged. His daughters and son in laws are well documented. This branch needs to be pruned for lack of evidence.
The line is a well-known fake.
