This well-sourced site shows the info below for Nicholas. The death dates are the same but the birth dates aren't. Both sites show his father as William but Williams birth date aren't the same. Only one wife is mentioned for Nicholas on this site:

You'll notice that the info for William has no sources, no wife is listed, and his father is named John rather than Richard.

I found that neither that site nor Geni have any sources for William's father. So was he really John or Richard?

John's page: https://our-royal-titled-noble-and-commoner-ancestors.com/p2333.htm...

Richard's page: (Sir) Richard de Wychingham

Seems more research or at least some sources / documentation for William's father needs to be added.

Thanks in advance in any assistance toward validating the correct identity of William's father.
