Simon Fitz-Richard
Sir Simon Fitz-Richard (died c.1348 ) was an Irish barrister and judge. He became Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, and fought a long and successful campaign against the efforts of his political enemies to remove him from office.
He was probably a native of County Louth, where he later owned land. He was appointed Deputy Escheator of that county about 1315, and was given custody of the temporalities of the Archdiocese of Armagh in 1321. He appears as a Crown prosecutor in the 1320s and in 1326 he became the King's Serjeant.〔Hart, A. R. ''History of the King's Serjeant-at-law in Ireland'' Four Courts Press Dublin 2000 p.170〕 In 1331 he became an ordinary justice of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland) and in 1335 he was appointed Chief Justice.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.1 p.71〕 He held lands in Louth and Ulster and at Gormanston, County Meath, and had a royal licence to export corn.〔Ball p.170〕
During the 1330s complaints were made to the English Crown about the poor quality of the Irish administration, and in particular about the deficiencies of the Irish-born judges. In 1337 Thomas Charlton, Bishop of Hereford, was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, with specific instructions to replace those Irish judges who were considered to be unfit for office with English replacements.〔Otway-Ruthven, A.J. ''History of Medieval Ireland'' Reprinted Barnes and Noble 2003 p.157〕 Robert de Scardeburgh, Fitz-Richard's predecessor, was nominated to take his place again but did not actually come over to Ireland.〔Otway-Ruthven p.157〕 Fitz-Richard went to England where he pleaded his case before the King: he was reappointed as Chief Justice and given various favours.〔Frame, Robin ''Ireland and Britain 1170-1450'' Hambledon Press Ltd. 1998 p.115〕
He resigned in 1341; this was probably in connection with the various charges of maladministration which had been made against him. The following year he was accused of felony in England and arrested for trespass in Ireland, but nothing seems to have come of these charges.〔Ball p.170〕 He went to England in 1348 on official business and was knighted in the same year; but he seems to have died shortly afterwards.
