  === Life Sketch ===
  The first mention of Richard Aschenald, discovered so far, is in Leland's Itinerary, written about 1540 - "The castel, town and landes about Brokenbridg longgid afore the Conquest to one Richard Aschenald. Richard had Ailrik and he had Swane, of whom cam Adam, of Adam cam 2 doughtters, wherof one of them was maried to Galfride Neville, the other to Thomas Burge"[1]
  
  Although Ailric, Swein, Adam and his 2 daughters can be confirmed by primary sources (although the names of the sons-in-law are incorrect), there appear to be no earlier sources that mention Richard Aschenald.

  === From "The History of the Township of Meltham, Near Huddersfield (1866) - Chapter 1" ===
  This Alric was the son of Richard Aschenald, a Saxon thane. Camden states "that one Aske was the first Saxon proprietor of Pontefract, and that it descended by due succession to one Alric, or Aluric, from whom William the Conqueror took it."
