  "Richard's career was in the law. Between 1492 and 1521 he served in various roles, including advocate, serjeant-at-law (the highest rank of attorney with special privileges and responsibilities), king's serjeant (akin to an Attorney General), justice of the peace for Wiltshire, Essex, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire, Member of Parliament for Salisbury, arbitrator, and judge of the court of common pleas. He was knighted by 1517. Richard was party to numerous court cases and land transactions during his lifetime and held lands in Lincolnshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Dorset, Berkshire, and London." [Kelly M.
