Main source: (1) For upper section : Commoners (vol iii, Biddulph of Biddulph)
And it’s different from Sir Richardus Forester, Knt. whose only certain child was Sir Hugo Forester (Forestarious), Gov of Etherstons
There was more than one Richard the Forester.
See page 7 of http://www.irving-fam.com/tng/histories/Foster%20History%20ver9.pdf
For the line of Hugo,:
http://www.irving-fam.com/tng/histories/Foster%20History%20ver9.pdf page 11
Hugo died about 1121 but had two sons by an unnamed wife (these ladies get no respect!)4. The sons were named Hugo and Reginald. Both were knighted by King Stephen (reigned 1135 – 1141). Reginald was at the Battle of Standard (1138) for which he was knighted and was made governor of Etherstone.
3 Governor implies an appointment from the King, or other highly placed nobleman. The owner of the land appoints a governor to be a tenant-in-chief to act for the owner of the land.
4 In many pedigree documents of early times the wife is named only if she was well connected (e.g. the daughter of a nobleman). So when no information is recorded about the wife she is probably a local maiden.
