Notes for Richard Marshall
http://www.castlewales.com/mar_chld.html
Richard had been granted the Giffard lands of Orbec and Longueville in Normandy by the wish of his father and the deed of his brother William in 1220. Richard also held lands in England and had been to England many times though he had spent most of the years between 1220 and 1231 in France caring for the Normandy lands and castles. Prior to 1224 Richard had married Gervase, daughter of Alan de Dinan, and had become in her right lord of Dinan and Viscount of Rohan in Brittany. One chronicle writes that Richard had received the best knightly and chivalric training in France and was the "marshal of the army of the King of France."

When he did this, the de Lacey’s immediately appealed to force which left Richard and his fifteen loyal men facing at least one hundred and forty armed opponents. Richard recognizing the betrayal, refused to retreat saying that, "I am well aware that I am doomed to die this day, but it is better for me to die with honour in the cause of justice than to incur the reproach of my fellow knights for cowardice"
