Richard fitzUrse

Richard FitzUrse was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and feudal baron of Bulwick in Northamptonshire.

Richard may have been the son of Richard FitzUrse, who was married to the widow of Richard Ingaine. Richard may have been the grandson of Urso de Berseres.

Richard supported King Stephen of England during the civil war between Stephen and his cousin Empress Matilda over the English throne. Richard was captured along with King Stephen during the battle.

Richard married Matilda, daughter of Baldwin de Boulers and Sibyl de Falaise. From the marriage, Richard acquired Worspring and Williton in Somerset. Matilda and Richard had one son, Reginald, and two daughters – Margery and Mabel. Margery married twice – first to Richard Engaine and second to Geoffrey Brito. Mabel was the mother of Roger Gernet.

Richard died sometime after 1158, but before 1166. His heir was his son Reginald.
