About Roaldus de Richmond, Constable of Richmond
brief biography
2nd Baron Musard of Staveley (1100?-???)
From an unidentified source:
The second constable of Richmond Castle under Alan Niger III (who may have been a relative). Roald was the first to take on the name of Richmond.
He seized various lands in the name of King Henry, who in turn gave then to him, including Pickall Manor. Later Pickall Manor was his wedding gift to his granddaughter Amfelisa who married Johanus de Neville.
By grant of King Stephen, he was Lord of Aldborough and lord over most of his Enisan's lands.
Roald dedicated an abbey in honor of St. Agatha on his Manor of Easby in the 1150's. He and his wife Garsiana (daughter of Enisan Musard, the first constable of Richmond Castle) were buried there.
The remains of Easby Abbey including the infirmary, refectory and other buildings around the unusually planned cloister can still be seen about a mile from the town of Richmond, England.
