RESTWOLD, Richard I (1364-c.1423), of High Head castle, Cumb., Sindlesham, Berks. and Crowmarsh Gifford, Oxon.

b. Sindlesham, Berks. 25 Dec. 1364, s. and h. of William Restwold (d.v.p. 15 Oct. 1374) of High Head castle by his w. Elizabeth (fl. 1391); gds. and h. of Ralph Restwold (d. 11 June 1383) of Sonning and Crowmarsh Gifford. m. (1) Nov. 1379, —; (2) Isabel, da. of Sir John Derwentwater by his 2nd w. Margaret, 1s. Richard II, 1da.Cumb. and Westmld. Antiq. and Arch. Soc. n.s. xii, 27; xvi. 159 and ped. (2) facing p. 168; CIPM, xiv. no. 49; xvi. nos. 56-58, 345; CCR, 1374-7, pp. 52-53. L.H. Butler, ‘Bp. Braybrooke and kinsmen’ (Oxf. Univ. D.Phil. thesis, 1951), 390-3, provides useful genealogical background, although he is wrong in stating that Richard’s mother, Elizabeth, was daughter and sole heir of John Loveday of Hedsor. Elizabeth Loveday actually married Richard’s uncle, Ralph (CIPM, xvi. no. 345).
