FITZRICHARD, Ralph, of Newbury in Silsoe, Westhey and Faldo, Beds.
Family and Education
m. by Mich. 1389, Alice, prob. da. of Roger Foliot by his w. Alice (b.1304), aunt and coh. of William Keynes (d.1336) of Westhey and Faldo.The VCH Beds. (ii. 346) states that Fitzrichard married Alice, the aunt and coheir of William Keynes, with whom he joined, in 1389, in making a settlement of her two manors of Faldo and Westhey. Chronological evidence suggests, however, that Fitzrichard married Alice’s daughter or next female heir, since she herself was allegedly born in 1304, and must therefore have been 85 years old when the conveyance was made. At the time of Keynes’s death, in 1336, Alice was married to Roger Foliot, who was probably Fitzrichard’s father-in-law (CIPM, viii. no. 35; CP25(1)6/70/11).
