Ralph de Greystoke, 1st Baron Greystoke

Ralph de Greystoke, 1st Baron Greystoke, (15 August 1299–14 July 1323) was an English peer and landowner.[2]

Greystoke was the son of Robert fitz Ralph, the second son of Ralph Fitzwilliam.[3] William, Robert's elder brother, predeceased their father, and Robert succeeded as Ralph Fitzwilliam's heir, when Fitzwilliam died between November 1316 and February 1317.[3]

Little is known of Ralph de Greystoke's life.[2] On 15 May 1321, he was summoned to parliament,[2][4] taking the surname of his paternal great-grandmother (Ralph Fitzwilliam's mother),[3] and became the 1st Baron Greystoke.[2] In March 1322, he fought in the Battle of Boroughbridge, on the side of Edward II, against Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster.[2] He was also 'a principal' in the arrest of Sir Gilbert de Middleton for treason, at Mitford Castle, in Northumberland.[5]

He obtained dispensation from Pope John XXII to marry Alice, daughter of Hugh, Lord Audley,[2] by whom he was related 'within the third and fourth degrees' of consanguinity.[5] His son and heir, William Greystoke, was born at the family home in Grimthorpe, on 6 January 1321.[2] Ralph de Greystoke died, of a possible poisoning arranged by Sir Gilbert de Middleton,[5] on 14 July 1323, at Gateshead, County Durham.[2] He was buried at Newminster Abbey, Northumberland.[1]

Greystoke's widow, Alice, remarried to Ralph Neville, 2nd Baron Neville de Raby, who held guardianship of the Greystoke estates for William, Ralph Greystoke's heir, who was a child when his father died.[6]
