## Life[edit]

Richard was a native of Gravesend in Kent.[1] He was a treasurer of the diocese of Hereford around 1238.[2] By 16 June 1250 he was Archdeacon of Oxford in the diocese of Lincoln.[3] Before August 1254, he was holding the office of Dean of Lincoln.[4]

Richard was elected to the see of Lincoln on 21 or 23 September 1258 and consecrated on 3 November 1258[5] at Canterbury. He supported Simon de Montfort and was suspended from office and in exile from 1265 to 1267.[1]
