Biography

Richard Blount was the eldest son of John Blount.^[1][2][3]

His father John Blount died 8 Mar 1357/1358, his heir was his son Richard age 13.^[3]

Croke^[1] stated Richard died in 1358 but this appears to be an error as he was recorded in an Inquisition in 1360 as holding a knights fee at Sodynton, Worcestershire, with Ralph, son of Richard le Porter, and Walter Doverdale.^[4]

"Richard Blount died without issue, and had by 1384 been succeeded by his brother Sir John Blount".^[5]
