Rohese de Vere, Countess of Essex (c. 1110 – 1170 or after) was a noblewoman in England in the Anglo-Norman and Angevin periods. Married twice, she and her second husband founded the Gilbertine monastery of Chicksands in Bedfordshire.
Rohese is pronounced (to my knowledge) "row-hees". It's a Medieval version of Rose. I actually really like this name--I think it's original, very pretty, and has a history to it.
