Notes

http://fortunatusfamilia.com.au/getperson.php?personID=I05157&tree=...

In 1395 Sir Richard Hansard tenth Lord of the Manor laid the foundations for a recovery of wealth for Walworth Castle.

Walworth Castle: 1454 Richard Hansard, eleventh Lord of the Manor, son of Sir Richard Hansard died in 1466, the estate passed to his grandson Richard, thirteenth in line. 1466 Richard Hansard, thirteenth Lord of the Manor, was only 9 years old when taking control of Walworth Castle and its estate. Richard held Walworth for many years but died in 1508.

...Lincoln, was a memorial of Sir Richard Hansard (ob. fest. S. Katharine, 1428) and Joan (Aske) his late wife (ob) with these arms impaling Aske, quartering Dawtrey (Add. MS. 17506 f. 32b). (Transactions, East Riding Antiquarian Society. Volume 6?. Page 50. 1898.). Page 50. 1898.)

I have assumed that "fest. S. Katharine" is the Feast of St Catherine of Alexandria, 25 November.

From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL/2013-01/...

The birth date of 1377 for the first Sir Richard Hansard appears to
have come from the Durham ipm for his father, Sir Robert Hansard:
29 April 1395, Darlington, Inquisition post mortem for Durham of
Robert Hansard. Richard, aged 18, is his son and next heir. The manor
of Walworth.
45th Annual Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records (London:
1885) p. 215

This Sir Robert Hansard actually died early in 1391. His will is dated
26 January 1390/1 and was proved at York on 14 February 1390/1 (Test.
Ebor., i, 132). The same will was proved in Lincolnshire on 29 July
1391 (Gibbons, Early Lincoln Wills, 49).

According to Surtees' pedigree of Hansard (Hist. Durham, iii, 318)
available online here:http://www.british-history.ac.uk/image.aspx?compid=76362&filename=fig...
"Sir Richard Hansard, Knt, aet 18 7 Skirlaw, 1395 = Joane, dau. of ...
Aske, enfeoffed with her husband 5 Feb. 3 Skirlaw."

The first Sir Richard Hansard and Joan Aske were enfeoffed by the
bishop of Durham on 5 February '3 Skirlaw', which would be 5 February
1391, i.e. just after the death of his father. Joan was still alive in
April 1440, when she was a beneficiary in the will of her sister Alice
"Johannae Hawnserd, sorori meae" (Test. Ebor. ii, 76). To me this
points to Joan being born about the same time as her husband, i.e. in
the late 1370's. Which is why it seems impossible for them to have a
son who was knighted before 1402.

It appears (to me at least) that the HOP bio confuses father and son,
and the man who was knighted in 1402 and was subsequently MP was the
first Sir Richard Hansard and not his son. The biography does not
actually give a date of death for the first Sir Richard, and none of
the sources referenced that I am able to access gives any clear

Sir Richard Hansard 1377 - 25 Nov 1428
Richard Hansard was knighted before 1402. He married before February 1391 Joan, daughter of John Aske of Ousthorpe (d. 1395) and Joan de Shelvestrode.

According to an inscription in the church of South Kelsey he died on 25 November 1428 [26]. Joan was still alive in April 1440, when she is mentioned in the will of her sister Alice

Hansard and Ayscough families

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walworth_Castle#Hansard_and_Ayscough_...

The present manor house stands on the site of a previous manor house or castle which was built around 1150 by the Hansard family. There is no evidence that the building was ever used for defence. The title to the castle fell into the hands of the House of Neville after the 1349 Black Death, but was reclaimed by Robert Hansard in 1391. The castle then passed to Sir Richard Hansard in 1395, his son Richard in 1454, his grandson Richard in 1466,[1] Sir William Hansard in 1508, Sir William's short−lived son William in 1521, and to William Jr.'s infant daughter Elizabeth Hansard in 1521. In 1539 Elizabeth married Sir Francis Ayscough, so the castle passed to the Ayscough family.[2] In 1563 the castle passed to her son William Ayscough, but because there were no further heirs the castle was sold.[3]
