[2] Richard arrived in England during the reign of Edward the Confessor,[1] probably early in the reign, as he was not expelled from England in 1052 along with many of other non-English landholders when Godwin of Wessex returned to power.
Richard possibly held the office of Sheriff of Worcester during Edward's reign.
[2] Besides his holdings around Auretone, he also held lands nearby, extending into Worcestershire and Shropshire.
[2] When William the Conqueror invaded England, Richard joined the Norman cause and took part in the fighting against Eadric the Wild in Herefordshire.
[2] Richard's date of death is unknown,[2] but his heir held his lands by 1086.
