Richard Fitz Turold (died after 1103–06) (alias fitzThorold, fitzTurolf[1]) was an eleventh-century Anglo-Norman landowner in Cornwall and Devon, mentioned in the Domesday Book.
In the 13th century his estates formed part of the Feudal barony of Cardinham, Cornwall,[2] and in 1166 as recorded in the Cartae Baronum his estates had been held as a separate fiefdom from Reginald, Earl of Cornwall.
[5] He had a castle at Cardinham in Cornwall,[6] in which county he was a major tenant and steward of Robert of Mortain, Count of Mortain, half-brother of King William the Conqueror.
[7] His entry in the Devonshire section of the Domesday Book lists Ricardus filius Turoldus[8] as a tenant-in-chief of the king and holding four properties:[9] His son was William Fitz Richard of Cardinham, mentioned in deeds in 1110 and 1130, date of death unknown.
[12] It has been suggested that William's daughter and heiress became the wife of Reginald, Earl of Cornwall.
