Ralph was sheriff of the counties of Northampton, Southampton, Somerset, Dorset, Oxford, Leicester, Bedford, and Bucks, in the reigns of the Kings JOHN and HENRY III. that is between the years 1202 and 1234. In the 17th of the latter monarch, in the great quarrel between the King and Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, Hubert having taken sanctuary in the chapel of Brentwood, in Essex belonging to the Abbot of Waltham, HENRY appointed Ralph de Bray and Ralph de Norwich (justiciarios nostros) to receive from the earl an abjuration of the king's realm, if he would not go out of sanctuary, and appear in the king's courts and abide the judgment there; or to do him justice in the king's court if he would quit sanctuary, and appear therein according to the agreement between the king and him.
