Richard Musgrave son of Sir Thomas de Musgrave and Alice Confirmation of grant

26 March 1411

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/6bebcae9-7f83-45f3-a803-e3e4947ade08

So History of Parliament is correct in saying that Richard was the son of Thomas & his second wife Alice.

I think it would be more correct to name his wife Elizabeth since the majority of the pedigrees call her that. See also https://www.google.com/books/edition/Heraldic_Visitation_of_the_Northern_Coun/ve0OvvM9qr8C?q=&gbpv=1#f=false p.52

Eden valley Local Historian Adrian White might be able to shed more light on the Musgrave family. He has contact details in footnotes. Simon

That merge proposal should not be forgotten, because those are not true reasons for a rejection
