==================

Richard de Venables held the position of High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1386.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The High Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the High Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. The High Sheriff changes every March.

Richard was a loyal supporter of King Richard II, and raised an army in the County in February 1399 to take an expedition to Ireland. He fought at the battle of Shrewsbury on the side of the Yorkist, Henry Percy, who was caught and beheaded on 23 July 1403, two days after the battle. Richard’s body, together with that of Sir Richard Vernon, were sent to Chester to be displayed on the city gates as an example to all others who might rebel against King Henry IV.
