  Was nominated by his father to Parliament in 1345 (which confutes Horace Parshall's death date). Horace Parshall, p. 65, says he d.s.p. which confutes Clarence Pearsall's note to his children.
  
  === "Chapter IV -- Sir Richard De Peshale ===
  "Chapter IV -- Sir Richard De Peshale and the Peshales of the Fourteenth Century. Richard, the eldest son of Sir John de Swynnerton by Eleanor de Peshale, his first wife, and the first of the later Peshale family, settled at Peshale about 1250, as it related in the previous Chapter. As stated above, he took as his arms the Swynnerton Cross (fleury, sable) surmounted by an escutcheon of the arms of the old Corbeil family, viz., Gules, a lion salient, argent. He very probably took part in the war between the Barons and Henry III. In 1264, and, as the Barons and their Knights were always summoned to assist in any military expeditions, he must have served under Edward I. in the subjugation of Wales in 1277 and 1282. he was knighted in 1298, in which Edward finally defeated Wallace, the claimant to the Scottish throne. Sir Richard owned a Manor House at Peshale, and in the Stafford Assize Roll of 56 Henry III. (1272) we read that 'John de Chelesle stopped William, son of Robert de Thene, and Adam, son of Alote, upon the heath of Norton, and charged them with breaking into his Lord's Grange of Peshale. He bound them and beheaded them, and he was afterwards arrested and taken to the Biship's prison at Eccleshall, and from that prison he escaped about the first hour, and towards evening he was recaptured and beheaded. (Staff. Hist. Coll., vol. iii. Old Series, p.18.) Sir Richard died about 1300, leaving two sons, Adam and Richard. These appear in the Plea Rolls, and other contemporary records, under the names of 'de Peshale' and 'de Whethale' indiscriminately, and there is every reason to believe that they assumed, or were given the latter name locally, to distinguish them from the remaining 'de Peshales' of the earlier Peshale family, who were still living in this generation." Taken from Parshall book, 1916, pages 63-4.
  
  === "The eldest son, Richard de Peshale, ma ===
  "The eldest son, Richard de Peshale, married, first, Aline de Moubray, daughter and coheir of William de Breouse, and relict of de Moubray. With this first wife, Richard acquired the Manor of Weston Corbet. Aline died before 1332, as is shown by the following Inquisition of that date: 'Aline de Moubray, deceased, late wife of Richard de Peshale. Writ of certiorari on the complaint of the said Richard that the escheator had taken into the King's hands the moiety of the Manor of Weston Corbet of the inheritance of the said Aline, which he ought to hold for life by the courtesy of England. The said Richard had by the said Aline after their marriage, a daughter called Maud, still surviving (Calendar of Inquisitions, Record Office, vol. vii. (5 Ed. III.).' Among the Ancient Petitions preserved at the Record Office, London, are the following, by this Richard de Peshale: - Ancient Petitions, File 67, No. 3316. 'Petition by Richard de Peshale, formerly Sheriff of Salop, that whereas the King by his charter granted to Sir John de Nevile, of Hornely, the Manor of Claverleye to him and his male issue and all profits which the Sheriff had during the time the said Manor was in the King's hands, raised and collected and paid into the Treasury the said profits and small farms to the amount of L8 1s. 8d. Now as the said John is to enjoy the same, Richard begs the Treasury may give him a discharge of the same.' File 67, no. 3317. 'Petition by same Richard that whereas William le Fitz Wareyn, constable of Montgomery, during the time Richard was sheriff, had the Hundred of Chirbern, and took the profits of the same, the Treasury had charged Richard L11 4s. od. for the profits of the same, and now begs to be discharged of the same.' File 67, No. 3318. 'Petition by Richard de Peshale that the error made by the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer in the suit between Roger de Bavent, William de Weston and Walter de la Lethe, executors of the will of Mary de Breose, and the sai d Richard and Aline his wife and Thomas de Breouse may be rectified.' The Parliamentary Writs preserved at the Record Office, show that this 'Richard de Pessale' was a prisoner in the Tower from 1323 to 1324, because he had taken part with the Barons in their war against Edward II, in 1322. A writ of 1324 states that 'Richard de Pessale having adhered to the Earl of Lancaster and the Barons in rebellion, and imprisoned therefor, is pardoned.' In 1325, a further writ summons Richard de Pessale to perform military service in Guyenne, he having obtained pardon upon condition of serving the King in has wars. In 1333 this same Richard joined Edward III. on his expedition into Scotland in support of the claim of Baliol to the throne of Scotland; he also probably took part in the battle of Halidon Hill on July 19th, as the State Records show that a General Pardon was issued in 1333 to Richard de Peshale, Kt., for good service in this war. This also shows that he was knighted at this time. Sir Richard was appointed Sheriff of Staffordshire and Shropshire, a highly important post in those days, in 1333, and held the same post in 1334 and 1339. The Sheriff's chief business was to collect the knights and men-at-arms of the county, in the event of war, and in 1334 a writ (Scotch Roll, 8 Ed. III., transcribed in Staff. Hist. Coll.) was presented 'to Richard de Peshale and Ralph Basset of Drayton,' dated Nov. 8th, 1334, and stating that 'the King being given to understand that the Scots had collected in land in a hostile manner, he commands them to array in North Wales 40 men-at-arms and 400 men on foot with all celerity for service in Scotland.' A later writ (Scotch Roll, 8 Ed. III., transcribed in Staff. Hist. Coll.), dated Dec. 24th, 1334, summoned Richard de Peshale and Adam de Peshale, his brother, to be at Roxborough, Scotland. Sir Richard is again referred to in the Almain Roll (14 Ed. III.), which states, under date of June 22nd, 1340, that Thomas de Swynnerton, in th e King's service abroad, had letters of general attorney, under the names of Richard de Peshale, Chivaler, and William de Surton. Sir Richard's second wife was Margery, daughter of Hugh de Knighton, and thus he added the Manor of Knighton to his estates. This second marriage is confirmed by the Plea Rolls of 17 Ed. III. (1343) (Staff. Hist. Coll., vol. xi. p. 153.), which record the levying of a fine by 'Richard de Peshale, Chivaler, and Margery his wife, daughter of Hugh de Knighton, of land in Eccleshall, Peshale and elsewhere.' (Feet of Fines, Case 210, File 15, No. 19.) "Final Concord made at Westminster, on Easter day in 15 days, 17 Edward III., before John de Stronore, William de Shareshull, Roger Hillary, John de Shardelowe and Richard de Kelleshull, justices, Between Richard de Peshale, chivaler, and Margery his wife, daughter of Hugh de Knyght and Richard son of said Margery, plaintiffs, and Thomas de Knyghton and Adam de Chesewardyn, chaplin, deforciants, of one messuage, one virgate and 10 acres of land, 5 acres of meadow, an acre of wood and 20s. rent, with appurtenances, in Eccleshale, Wotton, Hakedon, Peshale, Gnoushale, and Great Chelle, whereof a plea of covenant was summoned between them, that is to say Richard de Peshale acknowledged the said premises to be the right of said Adam, Adam and Thomas having the same by his gift. For this acknowledgment, fine, &c., Thomas and Adam grant all the above to said Richard de Peshale and Margery and Richard her son, to them and the issue of said Richard holding the same of the chief lords of the fee by the usual service for ever. And if the said Richard, son of Margery, die without issue, the said premises after the deaths of Richard de Peshale and Margery and Richard shall remain entirely to the right heirs of Richard de Peshale for ever. - Stafford. Abstract.". Sir Richard died or was killed in battle about 1344, leaving no heir, and the estates and title of Lord of Peshale passed, therefore, to his brot her, Adam de Peshale."
