In 1192, he assisted at the siege of Acon, under Richard the Lion-Harted, and shared in the subsequent triumphs of this chivalrous monarch. At the accession of John, he was a person of great emineance, and was one of the noblemen who escorted William of Scotland to Lincloln, when David of Scotland did homage and fealty to King John. Receiving word that the Earl of Chester, who had invaded Wales, was forced to take refuge in Rothelan Castle, where he was closely besieged by the Welsh, Roger de Lacie, as a constable, collected all the men of all descriptions attending a public fair at Chester, and marched to his relief, and upon their approach the Welshmen fled. For this timely service the Palatine Earl of Chester conferred upon de Lacie and his heirs the patronage of all minstrels in those parts, as many of the rescuing force wre simply minstrels, musicians, and actors, which patronage the constable transferred to his steward, Dutton, and his heirs, and it was long enjoyed by them.
