  === Life Sketch ===
  Under age at the death of his father in 1365 and of his elder brother Robert in 1374, his guardian was John Nevill. In 1383 he received his inherited lands and had already embarked on a military career, being knighted and holding for ransom a number of French prisoners of war. The next year he was summoned to Parliament as a baron and in 1385 was under the command of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, fighting the Scots in the defence of Berwick-upon-Tweed. At the Battle of Otterburn in August 1388, he was taken prisoner by the Scots, not being freed until October 1389 after payment of a sizeable ransom, toward which both King Richard and the Bishop of Durham contributed.
  
  In 1391 he was appointed Captain of Berwick and in 1392 received royal permission to rebuild and crenellate his castle at Lumley. In 1394 and 1397 he was on the commission of the peace for the North Riding of Yorkshire and in 1397 attended the Parliament at which all members had to swear loyalty to King Richard.
  
  In the Parliament of September 1399 he accepted the seizure of power by King Henry IV and the imprisonment of Richard, but in December joined his cousin Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, in the conspiracy known as the Epiphany Rising, which aimed to murder Henry and restore Richard. He was one of the conspirators captured and beheaded at Cirencester in January 1400. All his moveable possessions were given to the King's half-brother John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, and his estates were forfeited to the crown, apart from lands yielding 100 pounds a year left to support his widow and twelve children.
  
  From Wikipedia "Ralph Lumley, 1st Baron Lumley was an English nobleman, soldier and administrator under King Richard II, who was stripped of his lands, goods and title and executed for rebelling against King Henry IV."

  There is a curious mistake in a quaint old MS. pedigree in the British Museum (Harl. MS. 2289) making Sir Ralph de Lumley marry Margaret, daughter of Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmorland, and of Joan Beaufort, Peerage,” but is corrected in the copy of this work at the British Museum in a marginal note. From this error must have arisen the tradition, which named the wife of Ralph, first Baron Lumley, “the Rose of Raby.” The lady historically entitled to bear the name was certainly Cecily, Duchess of York, mother of Edward IV. and of Richard III., niece of Eleanor, Lady Lumley, who was sister and not daughter to the first Earl of Westmorland.

  BARONY OF LUMLEY (I)
  
  RALPH DE LUMLEY, brother and heir, was aged 13 or 14 at his brother's death, John de Neville [Lord Neville] of Raby being his guardian. He had order for livery of his lands 20 August 1383. He was summoned to Parliament from 15 September 1384 to 30 September 1399, by writs directed Radulpho de Lomley, whereby he is held to have become LORD LUMLEY. Certain French prisoners, taken by Ralph Lumley, then chivaler, in September 1384 had leave to return home to arrange their ransom. In January 1385 he was in the retinue of Henry de Percy, Earl of Northumberland, in Scotland, and in 1387 and 1388 associated with him in the defence of Berwick-on-Tweed. In 1388 he was also a commissioner of array in Chester Ward, co. Durham. At the battle of Otterburn (" Chevy Chase," 19 August 1388) he was taken prisoner by the Scots, but was at liberty by October 1389, when he was under orders for Berwick, then in the keeping of the Earl of Nottingham, a service on which he appears not to have proceeded. In the autumn of 1391 he was appointed captain of Berwick under the Earl of Northumberland. In October 1392 he obtained from the King permission to build and crenellate a castle at (Little) Lumley. He was on the commission of the peace in the North 'Riding of Yorkshire, 1394 and 1397. He was in the Parliament at Westminster, September 1397, when all the prelates, lords, and commons were sworn on the shrine of Edward the Confessor to maintain their proceedings in support of King Richard's coup d'état, and also sat in the first Parliament of Henry IV (1399), and with all the other prelates and peers assented to the imprisonment of the late King; but at Christmas 1399 he joined the unsuccessful conspiracy of Richard's half-brother, the Earl of Huntingdon, to murder Henry IV and restore Richard. He was taken, with others of the conspirators, by the townsfolk of Cirencester, and beheaded in January 1399/1400. He was attainted of treason in Parliament in March 1400/1 whereby his peerage was forfeited, his possessions having been granted already on 22 January 1399/1400 to John, Earl of Somerset, brother of Henry IV.
  
  He married Eleanor, daughter of the abovesaid John (NEVILLE), LORD NEVILLE of Raby (by his ist wife, Maud PERCY), and sister of Ralph (NEVILLE), 1st EARL OF WESTMORLAND, and of Thomas (NEVILLE), LORD FURNIVALLE. She was still living in 1441. [Complete Peerage VIII:269-70, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
