He was executed at Pontefract Castle on 25 June 1483 upon the orders of Richard III the usurper so his presently indicated DoD is incorrect & requires amendment

also he "was relieved of his manor of Ightham Mote on 14 May [1480]" should read 1483 not 1480; he hadn't been arrested until 30 Apr 1483

"The Duke of Gloster sent the Lord Rivers, the Lord Richard (Grey), Sir Thomas Vaughan, and Sir RICHARD HAWTE, into the north parts, into divers prisons ; but at last all came to Pomfret, where they all four were beheaded [June 1483] without judgment." Sir RICHARD HAWTE had been Lieutenant of the Tower, and Sheriff 18 and 22 Edward IV., of Kent, where, at Waddehall, his family had been seated from the time of Richard II.
