Richard De Umfreville
Lord of Redesdale 1195-1226
Baron of Prudh oe 1195-1226
The third son of Odonell II. In 1199 Richard persuaded King John to grant
him the privilege that 'none should graze their cattle, hunt or fell wood
in his forests of Redesdale and Coquetdale' on pain of mutilation or
death. This was changed to imprisonmentor fines with the forest laws of
the M agna Carta in 1217. In 1207 Richard claimed the wardship of Henry
Bataille, a lucrative deal in those days. Richard was the Umfreville who
produced (or fo rged) the charter which granted the Liberty of Redesdale
to Robert 'with-the- beard' and based the powers he wielded in the Liberty
on this document. Richa rd was one of the Northern lords who rebelled
against John in the revolt that culminated in the signing of the Magna
Carta at RunymeDe on June 15th 1215. Richard signs it as one of the lords
in favour of the document rather than as a supporter of the King.
Richard is the father of Gilbert, Baron of Prudhoe, who married Matilda
of Angus (see The Earls of Angus). His second son was Rob ert of
Chollerton. Richard also fathered William, the Rector of Ovingham (whi ch
is directly across the river Tyne from Prudhoe) and a fourth son called
Odonell who was alive in 1270.
