Richard de Malebiche, of Acaster Malbis

Another name for Richard was Richard de Malebise. His son was John and his daughter Emma.

"Note" - Acaster-Malbis: Emma de Percy was evidently either sole, or co-heiress of Henry de Percy of Acaster, hence her son is called 'of Acaster Malbis.'"

Origins

Wikipedia - Acaster Malbis

The land on which the village stands was named by the Romans as Val-Caester. In Latin, Val means "a wall" and Castrum means a "camp".[3] When the Romans departed the land was acquired by an Anglo-Saxon called Aca.[4]
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Acastre in the wapentake of Ainsty and was recorded to belong to two men, Elsi and Robert.[5][6] Ownership passed to the Malbysse family during the reign of Richard I. The family held the lands for about 200 years. In 1190, Richard Malebysse was a leader involved in the massacre of the Jews at Cliffords Tower in York. Richard I dismissed the sheriff and constable of York and imposed severe penalties on the city and arrested many of those who had taken part. Richard Malbysse had been described by a Hebrew scribe eight years earlier as "the evil beast". As punishment, the King ordered his estates seized into the king's hand and two of his esquires were thrown into prison.[7]

Richard Malebisse was described by Maud countess of Warwick and her sister Agnes de Percy as their nephew. John Malebisse, son of Richard son of William, referred to Emma de Percy, his grandmother in a charter to St. Mary's York [Guisborough Chartulary, ii, 61n].

Richard Malebiche had a son John, [Rievaulx Chartul. (Surt. Soc.), 211; Plac. Abbrev. (Rec. Com.), 87.] who had succeeded him before 1214. [Pipe R. 16 John, m. 8a. Amice sister of Hugh Malebiche and her husband Stephen de Blaby claimed Hawnby against him. This strengthens the evidence that his father Richard was really the nephew of the elder Hugh (Guisbro' Chartul. [Surt. Soc.], ii, 8 n.).] John was succeeded by a son and heir William, [Guisbro' Chartul. (Surt. Soc.), ii, 61 n.; Cal. Chart. R. 1226'9657, p. 371.] whose heir seems to have been another Richard.

“By the way, Richard, whom I mentioned before, was an interesting, cruel fellow. He was a justiciar, he held Acaster in 1176, and was forester for Yorkshire (Madox, i. 316). But, then things changed for dear ‘ole Richard.
“He was one of the leaders in the savage attack on and massacre of the Jews at York in 1190 (Will. Newburgh, i. 321, Rolls Ser.) As a punishment for his share in this outrage his lands were seized by the king. Malebysse appears to have been a supporter of Earl John, and in consequence he was one of those who were excommunicated by William de Longchamp in December 1191 (Hoveden, iii. 153). In 1193 he paid a fine of twenty marks for the recovery of his lands till the king’s return, and eventually paid six hundred marks for full restoration (Madox, Hist. of Exchequer, i. 473, 483).”

The 1190 Massacre

”After rioting had engulfed the towns of Norwich, Stamford and Lincoln they began in York with a mob attempting to burn down Benedict’s palatial house. The Jews were officially protected by the king as his feudal vassals and sought protection in the royal castle, barricading themselves into the wooden keep. The rioters, meanwhile, were egged on by members of the local gentry called Richard Malebisse, William Percy, Marmeduke Darell and Philip de Fauconberg. These men saw the riots as an opportunity to wipe out the extensive debts they owed to Jewish money-lenders in the city. These men had borrowed heavily from Jewish money-lenders but had failed to secure lucrative royal appointments and so could not afford to repay their debts. Indeed, after the massacre they proceeded to burn the records of their debts held in the Minster, so absolving themselves from repayment to the king, who would acquire the property and debts owed to the murdered Jews. ....

Coincidently Benedict of York was the man to whom Malebisse was particularly indebted. Benedict of York’s widow and their children were reportedly burned alive when the mob set fire to the home.
