  RICHARD TEMPEST (3), born, say 1124). He was a witness with Roger his father circa 1156, to the grant from Alice de Rumelli to Edulfo de Culnese of land in Appletrewick (Dodsw: MSS, vol. 83, fol. 1, and Whitakers "Craven" (1812), p.438). Richard Tempest (or query his uncle) witnessed circa 1156, with Osbert the Archdeacon, Ralph the dean, Peter de Marton, Helias de Rilleston etc: the grant by Alice de Rumelli to the monks of Bolton of Sighelsden (Silsden) Mill etc: which her mother held (Dodsw: MSS, vol. 9, fol. 220d.).

  Richard Tempest I. EBT says that Roger's son, Richard I, was "born say 1124." She cites a grant from Alice de Rumelli (Cecelia's daughter) to Edulf de Kilnsey of land in Appletreewick, witnessed by Roger Tempest and his son, Richard ("Rog Temp et Ric filio eius"). This grant may be found in EYC (v. 7, p. 72, number 26, see above) [11]. EBT dates this grant circa 1156, while Clay dates it as 1166-75. She also cites two other grants witnessed by Richard, both of which are also found in EYC. The first is a grant by Alice de Rumelli of the Silsden mill to Bolton priory (EYC, v. 7, p. 70, no. 22, from Dodsw. 9, f. 220d and Dodsw. 144, f. 3). EBT says this grant is circa 1156, while Clay says it is 1155-87, probably later in that period. The second charter is a confirmation by Alexander son of Gerold of a gift by Edulf de Kilnsey and his sons to Fountains Abbey, the original grant having been made 8 April 1174 (EYC, v. 7, pp. 188-191 for original grants). Clay (EYC, v. 7, pp. 73-74, from Fountains Chartulary, Add. MS. 37770 (British Library), f. 116d) dates the confirmation 1174-78 [12].
  
  Again, there is a discrepancy between EBT and Clay in dating Richard I. Although Clay does not hazard a guess as to Richard's birthdate, he seems to place him somewhat later in the 12th Century than does EBT. If his father was born later than 1120 and given that the first notice of him is probably not earlier than 1166, it may be that a birthdate of the early 1140s is more likely. EBT does not suggest a death date for Richard but Clay notes (EYC, v. 7, p. 245) that Richard's son, Roger II, may have succeeded by 1192 (see below), suggesting a death date for Richard earlier than that.
