F. N. Craig, The Genealogist, Vol. 13 pp. 189-198 RICHARD [II] CHAMBERLAIN, born ca. 1310, was first named in 1327, (Early Chamberlayne Family says 1315) when on the death of Robert de Baldock, the remainder to the manor of Stanbridge fell to Richard, son of John Chamberlain, and MARGARET ----, his wife. In 1330 they claimed view of frankpledge there. In November 1343, Pope Clement VI in Avignon, requested a safe conduct for Richard Chamberlain, knight, King Edward's agent, returning from the Roman court, going to England and about to return to the pope. Moriarty explains that as the result of a petition of Richard Chwnberlain, the pope in 1344 permitted Edmund Morteyn, D.L.C., to become a canon of York in addition to being parson of the church of Marston. Edmund was a brother of Richard's mother, Joan Morteyn. In 1346 Richard Chamberlaine and John de Leggeburn held the land in Reston and Carleton which William Chamberlain and Henry de Legbum had held; this confirms the descent of Richard [II] from William. (Lord William of North Ryston/Reston, Lincolnshire). AIso in 1346 Richard had a second wife, KATHERINE DE LA DALE, age 36, daughter and heir of Thomas de Berkele of Wolostone, co. Northants. In 1356 the overlord, Henry, Earl of Lancaster, granted Wolostone to the College of St. Mary, which suggests that Katherine had died without issue. In 1351 Richard Chamberlain, knight, held two fees of Hugh Wake in Cotes, Newton, Raunds, Filgrave and Lathbury (the Gatesden share of the fee of Bidun). In 1379 he had license for the alienation of his manor of Stanbridge to Richard his son and Margaret his son's wife. In 1380 Richard Chamberlain, knight, aged 70 years, had exemption from being put on assizes, juries, etc., against his Will. On 2 November 1391, the will of Richard Chamberlain of Coles, knight, was proved. It mentions a daughter Elizabeth, nun of Chickesand (Priory) and a son Richard, an executor. He was survived by a third wife, JOHANNA ---- who at her death in 1413 was named as widow of Richard Chamberlain, "chivaler." The inquisition gives a long list of her land holdings, including Petsoe, formerly of Robert Chamberlain, and Tillsworth in co. Bedford, inherited from John Morteyn . F. N. Craig, The Genealogist, Vol. 13 pp. 189-198 It also seems as if this profile should be merged with [[Chamberlain-180|Richard Chamberlain]] - the dates need to be verified - as birth dates are off - but the spouse is the same.
Would be great if someone who is pre-1500 certified could have a look at this. Chamberlayne-180 is very badly sourced. (Imported by Gedfile in 2011). Thank you.
