  === Life Sketch ===
  *NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH RICHARD BASSET SON OF THURSTON*
  Richard Basset (died between 1135 and 1144) was a royal judge and sheriff during the reign of King Henry I of England. His father was also a royal justice. In about 1122 Basset married the eventual heiress of another justice; the marriage settlement has survived. In 1129–30 Basset was co-sheriff of eleven counties. Basset and his wife founded a monastic house in 1125 from their lands, which before the donation were equivalent to 15 knight's fees.
  
  Early life
  Basset was the son of Ralph Basset, who was a royal justice under Henry I. While it is not known whether Richard was Ralph's eldest son, Richard inherited Ralph's estates in Normandy, which were near Montreuil-au-Houlme. He also inherited his father's English estates at Colston Basset, Kingston Winslow, and Peatling Parva. The bulk of Ralph's English lands did not go to Richard, however. Basset's brother Nicholas signed over his own inheritance to Richard. Ralph Basset was considered one of the "new men" of Henry I. William Basset, the abbot of the Benedictine monastery of the abbey of St Benet of Hulme, may have been a relative, as he granted lands to Richard Basset in return for a £10 annual rent. Another relative may have been the Robert Basset who witnessed nine charters of Ranulf de Gernon, Earl of Chester.
  
  Royal service
  In 1125, the king appointed Basset to oversee the lands of Peterborough Abbey after the death of the abbot. The revenues of a vacant abbey went to the king, and Basset's job was to secure Peterborough's income for King Henry.
  
  In 1129–30, Basset served as sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, and Surrey together with Aubrey de Vere II. The number of shrievalties was unusual, and is known from the Pipe Roll of 1130. According to the entries in the Pipe Roll, de Vere and Basset did not function as traditional sheriffs, farming the revenues, but were instead responsible for the entire royal revenue in those counties.
  
  As well as his service as a sheriff, Basset also served as a royal justice, hearing pleas in Leicestershire in 1129 and 1130. Between 1131 and 1133, Basset appears to have been a frequent attendee at the royal court, as he witnessed a number of documents. He was present at the councils held at Northampton in 1131 and at Westminster in 1132. Basset witnessed no royal documents after 1133, when King Henry left England for Normandy for the final time.
  
  After King Henry's death in 1135, Basset was not employed as a royal official, either as a justice or as a sheriff. He appears once as a witness to a charter of King Stephen's in 1136, but the authenticity of this document has been questioned. He had built a castle in Normandy at Montreuil-au-Houlme, but Basset did not have possession of it in 1136, when it was held against Stephen's opponents by William de Montpincon.
  
  Lands
  Basset's lands did not form a compact estate, as they were spread over 11 counties. In 1135, Basset's lands totalled 184.25 carucates of land, and were later considered 15 knight's fees. In Leicestershire, Basset held most of the lands held by Robert de Buci at the time of the Domesday Survey of 1086. The lands were held by Basset of the king by right of his wife, but how the lands had passed into her family is unclear. In addition, Basset held land in Leicestershire from both King David I of Scotland and from Robert de Beaumont, the Earl of Leicester.
  
  In 1125, Basset and his wife founded an Augustinian Order priory at Launde in Leicestershire, This priory, Launde Priory, was endowed with the village of Loddington in Leicestershire and a number of churches in that county and others.
  
  Family and death
  Basset married Matilda, the daughter and eventual heiress of Geoffrey Ridel (d. 1120), some time between 1120 and 1123. Matilda had a brother Robert, who was mentioned in her marriage settlement. By the terms of the settlement, Robert Ridel was placed under the guardianship of Richard Basset until he was knighted and married to Basset's niece. The marriage settlement describes Matilda's dowry as being worth four knight's fees. Basset also received the right to arrange marriages for Matilda's sisters. Robert's lands were to come to Basset if Robert had no children. Not long after the settlement was written, Basset was in possession of the lands that should have been Robert's.
  
  Basset witnessed a royal charter in 1135 but was dead by 1144, when his lands were granted by the Empress Matilda and her son Henry to Richard's son
  1. Geoffrey Ridel.
  His other sons were
  2. Ralph Basset, who held lands near Drayton, and
  3. William Basset, who held lands near Sapcote. William became a royal justice and sheriff like his father.
  Richard also had two daughters:
  4. Sibil, who married Robert de Cauz, and
  5. Matilda, who married John de Stuteville.
  Ralph inherited the ancestral lands in Normandy. The Norman chronicler Orderic Vitalis wrote that Basset built a tower on his ancestral lands of Montreuil in Normandy purely to demonstrate his status and wealth.

  "Richard Basset (died between 1135 and 1144) was an English royal judge and sheriff during the reign of King Henry I of England. His father was also a royal justice. In about 1122 Basset married the eventual heiress of another other royal justice; the marriage settlement has survived. In 1129 and 1130 Basset was sheriff of a number of counties together with another nobleman. Basset and his wife founded a monastic house in 1125 from of their lands, which before the donation were equivalent to 15 knight's fees. After Basset's death between 1135 and 1144 his lands were granted to his son." Wikipedia
  Basset held lands that totaled approximately 176 hides, but they did not form a compact estate, as they were spread over 11 counties. In 1135, Basset's lands totalled 184.25 carucates of land, and were considered to be the equivalent of 15 knight's fees. These lands would have been about 1,500 acres (610 ha), calculateded at the normal rate of about 120 acres (49 ha) per carucate.
  Basset founded an Augustinian Order priory at Launde in Leicestershire, together with his wife. This priory, Launde Priory, was founded by 1125, and was endowed with the village of Loddington in Leicestershireand a number of churches in that county and others.
  Basset married Matilda, the daughter and eventual heiress of Geoffrey Ridel, some time between 1120 and 1123.

Henry of Huntingdon names "Ralph Basset and his son Richard, justices of all England"[493]. Henry I King of England confirmed property ot Eynsham abbey by charter dated 25 Dec 1109, including the donation of "decimam suam de Strattona" by "Gillebertus Basset" and "decimam suam de una hida de Estelai" by "Radulfus Basset"[494].

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records in 1124 that "Ralph Basset held a court of the king’s thanes at Hundehoh in Leicestershire and hanged there more thieves than ever before"[499]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Radulfus Basset" used to hold one knight’s fee from the abbot of Glastonbury in Somerset "tempore Regis Henrici" (presumably indicating King Henry I) now held by "hæres Radulfi Basset junioris"[500]. It is possible that "Radulfus Basset" was the paternal uncle of "Radulfi Basset junioris" although no proof has been found that this is correct. Another possibility is that "Radulfus", referring to the senior Basset, was an error for "Richardus" who is recorded elsewhere as the father of "Radulfi Basset junioris" (see above). m A---, daughter of --- (-after 1120).

William Reedy assumes that "Johanni fratri meo" was the grantor’s brother-in-law John de Stuteville[518].
