  === Life Sketch ===
  «b»Biography«/b»
  Richard de Cormeilles was lord of a feudal barony based in Tarrington in Herefordshire.
  
  He was probably born before 1120. As Sanders explained:
  
  The estimate of the date of Richard's birth is based on the fact that he was presumably of age when he made gifts circa 1140 and 1144.
  
  On 25 July, 1141, at Oxford, Empress Matilda created Miles of Gloucester Earl of Hereford and gave him various grants including the services of Robert de Chanados, Hugh son of William and Richard de Cormeill.
  
  «b»Parentage«/b»
  According to Keats-Rohan he "was son of a daughter or granddaughter of William fitz Baderon of Monmouth and an unknown father". In fact the 1140 French charter shows that his uncle, presumably maternal uncle, was William fitz Baderon's son Baderon, one generation closer.
  
  It is notable that the Domesday lord of Tarrington, where Walter was lord, was also named after Cormeilles in Normandy. His name was Ansfrid de Cormeilles. It indicates a likelihood that Walter inherited his position from his paternal family. But there are few records mentioning Tarrington between Domesday and Walter.
  
  There are several proposals about who his father might be:
  
  Sanders proposes that his father was "Walter I de Cormeilles, who is mentioned in association with the bishop of Lisieux in 1095", citing Orderic Vitalis iii, p.462. He reasoned: "Cormeilles and Lisieux are close together and a Walter de Cormeilles was lord of Tarrington during the reign of King Richard."
  
  Another proposal is Alexander de Cormeilles. Keats-Rohan says he attested a charter of Hugh de Lacy in 1100, and Sanders describes him simply as someone who appears in records of the time of King Henry I, but adds "there is no reason to link him with Tarrington.
  
  The association of the name Walter with Tarrington in the correct period makes him the most obvious candidate as a successor to Ansfrid, as Keats-Rohan also accepts in her article on Ansfrid.
