=== Life Sketch ===
Sir Matthew Redman IV
‘Sir Matthew was twice married, (1) to " Lucy," whose identity has so far defied elucidation, and (2) to Joan, daughter of Henry, Lord Fitzhugh, who, before wedding Sir Matthew, had already been twice a wife, first of William, fourth Lord Greystoke, and secondly of Anthony, third Lord de Lucy, who died in 1368, and by whom she had an infant daughter who died in the following year.
‘As widow of the wealthy Lord Lucy, Joan was a well-dowered bride, and, among other large possessions, brought to Sir Matthew the castle and manor of Langele, in Northumberland, a third part of the Barony of Egremund, with the advowson of Ulvedale and the manors of Aspatrik and Braythwayt.’
‘Sir Matthew appears to have had two sons and one daughter. O his elder son, Matthew, the records disclose little beyond the fact that on April i, 1369, he had a pass to Ireland with William de Windsor ; and it seems cer- tain that he died in the lifetime of his father, leaving his younger brother, Richard, to assume the headship of the family, and by his marriage with Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of the first Lord Aldeburgh, to transfer the chief activities of the family from Levens, which had been its headquarters for more than two centuries, to Harewood in Yorkshire.’
‘Sir Matthew's daughter, Felicia, the only one traceable, married Sir John, son of Ralph, Lord Lumley, who fell at the battle of Baugy, in Anjou, in 1421. From this union the present Earl of Scarborough and many of our nobles of to-day derive their origin. Her great-grandson, Thomas, wed Elizabeth Plantagenet, the daughter of King Edward IV. by the Lady Elizabeth Lucy.’
‘Sir Matthew Redman was one of the witnesses in the historical dispute between Lord Scrope and Sir Robert Grosvenor as to the right to bear "azure a bend or " ; in which he gave important evidence as to Scrope's second marriage with the lady of Pulford. Sir Matthew died circa 1390, and was succeeded by his son Richard, who was destined to shed still more lustre on the name of Redman.’
