1. Sir Richard Audley m. Katherine , da. of Richard Scrope, 2nd son of Henry Scrope, 4th Lord Scrope of Bolton.+ ^[1][2]

Research Notes

As stated on the wikipedia page of James Tuchet, 5th Baron Audley; surname is Tuchet/Touchet and was not different until son, Edmund used Audley instead of Tuchet. Therefore, surname is not Audley. Audley was intended as a title.

There is a detailed discussion on the Medieval Genealogy list:^[3]

Married 1stly, before 10 Feb 1489- Muriel, daughter of Sir Thomas Brewse, of Wenham, co. Suffolk. By her, Sir John had issue- Richard, Robert, Thomas and Philip.

Married 2ndly- (settlement dated 27 Jan 1507/8) Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Blake, Esq. In her will of 30 April 1541, proved 14 Jan 1541/2 in the P.C.C. (1 Spert), she desired to be buried in the church of Swaffham Market.

So John had more children than Richard.

LNAB note

This is confusing - his father's generation swtiched from Tuchet/Touchet to Audley. The Awdeley spelling is common in visitations but other sources use Audley spelling; also most sources use the Audley spelling for his father, which I think should be his LNAB.

LNAB change from Tuchet to Audley was not marked until uncle, Edmund Audley (c 1440-1624) used the surname of Audley. Father and siblings all use Touchet/Tuchet.
