=== Life Sketch ===
sir, Richard Boteler, Knt, 1sr Lord of Rawcliff
s/o Almeric Botler & Alice Gernet

m- Alice Carleton

Held - Mid Rawcliffe & Hoole & Whittle le woods, Freckleton, Goosenargh...
Identified in British History on Line: A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 7. Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1912. "Theobald Walter, in 1266–7, granted to his 'cousin' Sir Richard le Boteler all the land of Out Rawcliffe together with an oxgang in Staynall, for which he was to render the farm the men of the place had been accustomed to pay. At the same time he ordered these men to render their services to the said Richard, whom they were to consider as their lord. The rents seem to have amounted to £7 a year... Richard had also acquired Mid Rawcliffe from Richard de Thornhill and John Debaud, and thus held the whole, though by different tenures. From this time until 1716 his family retained possession, and there are practically no records of any other tenants. The manors seem to have been regarded as one, called indifferently either Middle or Out Rawcliffe; but sometimes these were named separately. The Botelers also held manors and lands in Hoole, Whittle-le-Woods, Freckleton, Goosnargh and other places.
Sir Richard le Boteler, brother of Sir William le Boteler of Warrington, was living in 1273, but must have died not long afterwards, leaving a widow Alice." She (Alice de Carlton) was the daughter of William de Carleton; Whittle-le-Woods and part of Goosnargh appear to have come to the Botelers through her. In 1281 dower was granted to her by her eldest son William, viz. the whole manor of Middle Rawcliffe. The other sons were Henry, John, Richard, Edmund and Geoffrey."
Annals of the Lords of Warrington for the first five centuries after the conquest : with historical notices of the place and neighbourhood states: The issue of Almeric and Alina were : (1) William fitz Almeric the eldest son, who succeeded him ; and (2) Richard a younger son, who married Alicia Carleton, who seems to have held a fourth of a knight's fee of the honour of Lancaster at Galfi in Norfolk. (Testa de Nevil, p. 290.) He was founder of the house of Butler of Roucliffe, of which he had this grant from Theobald Walter,
