Events

• He worked as a Council to Henry II in 1100.

• TitleOfNobility: Earl of Poytone, .

• He owned Held the manor of Calveley on an unknown date.

• He worked as a Pincerna on an unknown date.

• He worked as a Butler to the Earl of Chester on an unknown date.

• Biography: In that age, when money was scarcer than broad acres, a great man often recompensed his follower's services by a grant of land. For this cause Richard received the manor of Pulton; but the earl's cook was still better remembered, for his services were rewarded with two manors; while his huntsman, as his reward, had still three or more manors. Thus it often happens that the ministers of pleasure are better paid than those employed on more solid and useful services. Our knowledge of this first ancestor of the Warrington Botelers is but scanty. We do not know when he died, but we know that he left two sons \emdash Robert the eldest, who succeeded him, and William, who was witness to a charter of earl Hugh Lupus.
