Richard Grey

Sir Richard Grey (1457 – 25 June 1483) was an English knight and the half-brother of King Edward V of England.

[1] Richard was a 3-year-old child when his father was killed fighting for the House of Lancaster at the Second Battle of St Albans on 17 February 1461.

[1] In 1479, he was appointed constable of Chester Castle and in the same year was considered important enough for the city of Bristol to appeal to him for his aid.

In 1482, he was granted the Welsh lordship of Kidwelly,[1] and in the same year was given a greater role in the upbringing of the Prince of Wales.

Grey was also being given a broader geographic field of activity, serving as constable of Wallingford Castle from 1482 and the following year being granted the Holland manors in Essex and Northamptonshire.
