Since Richard’s death, the rent has been taken continuously by John, archbishop of York , William Scot, esquire , and Thomas Haseley by royal letters patent [CFR 1422–30, p. 214]; and they are thus answerable to the king.

He died on 25 April 1428. Miles Wyndesore , his son and next heir, is aged 21 years and more.
