Richard Folville
Richard Folville (died 1340–1) was a member of the infamous Folville Gang captained by his older brother Eustace.
==Biography==
Richard was the fourth of 7 sons born to Sir John Folville (died 1310) of Ashby Folville, Leicestershire. In 1321 he was created rector to the small country parish of Teigh, about 12 km east of Melton Mowbray. However, like his near-contemporaries Thomas De L'Isle or John Rippinghale, his vocation did not deter him from indulging in vigilantism and outlawry. A warrant for Richard's arrest was issued in March 1326 for his part in connection with the assassination of Sir Roger Bellere, and he was also involved in much of his siblings' later strifes.
Richard seems to have masterminded the abduction and ransom of the justice Sir Richard Willoughby, later Chief Justice of the King's Bench. The chronicler Henry Knighton, our principal witness to the activities of the Folvilles, claims that the 'savage, audacious' Richard was in charge of the ''socialem comitivam'' ('allied company') which attacked Willoughby.〔Henry Knighton, (''Chronicon Henrici Knighton, vel Cnitthon, monachi Leycenstris'' ), ed. by Joseph Rawson Lumby, 2 vols (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1889-95), I (1889), pp.460-1.〕 The kidnap occurred in January 1332. Willoughby was seized on the road to Grantham, and escorted into nearby woodland. One indictment claims that he was carried from here to numerous dens and hideouts across the county, 'from wood to wood'.〔Maurice Keen, ''The Outlaws of Medieval Legend'', rev. ed. (London: Routledge, 2000), p.199: ISBN 0-8020-1612-X〕 He was at length made to pay 1300 marks for his release, and forced to swear an oath of loyalty to the Folvilles.
