• Notes

  Deputy of Guînes. Knighted in 1544. In 1547 he was one of the council at Boulogne. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography on his grandson Francis Windebank, Secretary of State under Charles I, calls him "a soldier, [...] still active as deputy of Guînes in 1553 after twenty years service to the English crown in France, sometimes with Dymock." This last referring to Edward Dymoke (1508-1567), father-in-law of Richard's son Thomas.
