    Note: Sir Richard Lovel, of Castle Cary, co. Somerset [Ref: CP IX:7] Sir Richard Lovel, d. 1351, Lord Lovel of Castle Cary, co. Somerset [Ref: Weis AR7 51A:32] "According to a number of sources Sir Richard Lovel married (bef. 1310/11) Murie,l daughter of John Soulis, of Old Rokesburgh. The error of her being a daughter of the Earl of Douglas was discussed in The Genealogist, vol. xix, 1903, p. 214. The article states the error seems to have come originally from Anderson, House of Yvery (Lond. 1742, 2 vols) but confirmed she was Muriel Soulis. We have proof of her father and her marriage to Richard Lovel from this patent rolls record: “2 Jan 1321 - Marlborough - Notification to the archbishop of Rouen that Richard Lovel had lawfully married Muriel daughter and heiress of John de Soules, and that they had a son James, the heir of the said Muriel, and that the said James is now aged 14 years, and further requesting the archbishop to grant his favour to the said Richard in the matter before the archbishop touching the inheritance of the said James within the said archbishop’s jurisdiction. By p.s.” [1] LOVEL BARONY BY WRIT. I. 1348. 1. Richard Lovel, s. and h., was a minor at his father's death, and the wardship of his lands and person was granted to a Scottish knight, Sir John de Soules.(a-205) When the latter took part against Edward I in 1295, it was transferred to William Martin.(b-205) On 10 June 1297, the King having received his homage and given him livery of his lands the preceding day, Richard took oath at Canterbury to serve with horses and arms according to his power in the war against France.(c-205) Holding lands or rents to the value of £40 p.a. or more, he was sum. for service against the Scots in 1300 (when he offered the service of four men instead of personal attendance) and later.(d-205) He was present at the tournament at Stepney in 1309.(e-205) The manor of Old Roxburgh, part of the inheritance of Richard’s wife, having been taken be Edward I in connection with the defence of Roxburgh, the manor of Winfrith Eagle in Dorset and other manors in England were granted them in Jan. 1310/1 as compensation.(f-205) He was given custody of the Templars’ lands in Somerset and Dorset in 1311(g-205) In May 1313 he was going beyond seas in the King’s service.(h-205) He lost eleven chargers in the Scottish war,(i205) and appears to have been captured at the battle of Bannockhurn, for John de Soules in 1314 had a safe-conduct on going to Scotland to secure his release.(j205) In 1315 custody of Cranbourne Chase, &c., was granted to him during the minority of the Earl of Gloucester;(k-205) and in the same year the custody of Corfe Castle and Purbeck was given to him and Muriel his wife.(l-205) In 1317 he had licence to make a settlement on himself and his wife Muriel.(m-205) In Feb. 1319/20 he was under orders to accompany the King to France.(a-206) In Apr. 1320 he was appointed constable of Gloucester Castle, and in May 1321 constable of Bristol Castle.(b-206) He was on the King’s side in the dispute with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and in Feb. 1321/2 was appointed joint commissioner to array the men of Somerset and Dorset against the rebels, and later to try two of the traitors at Bristol.(c-206) He was going to Scotland with the King in the following July.(d-206) In May 1324 he appears in the Sheriff’s list of knights of Somerset whom he had summoned to attend the Great Council of prelates and peers at Westminster.(e-206) In 1329 and later he was appointed on commissions of the peace, array, &c., in Somerset.(f-206) On to Jan. 1341, as Richard Lovel, banneret, he was named one of the Justices to inquire into extortions in Devon and Cornwall(g-206) After Bannockburn the barony of Hawick and other Scottish possessions (including his late wife’s moiety of property in Eskdale) had been lost to the Lovels,(h-206) but when, at Nevill’s Cross, 17 Oct. 1346, the Scots were defeated and King David captured, Richard claimed their restoration, and in 1347 a jury in Scotland found that he and his ancestors had possessed the barony of Hawick from time beyond memory.(i206) Old Roxburgh was accordingly restored to Richard and James Lovel.(j-206) Sir Richard Lovel was sum. to Parl. from 20 Nov. (1348) 22 Edw. III to 25 Nov. (1350) 24 Edw. III, by writs directed _Ricardo Lovel_, whereby he is held to have become LORD LOVEL.
