Robert Worsley, Lord of Booths

concerns

Stirnet's "Worsley1" page mostly agrees with British History Online, showing this Robert's father (Henry) having the following two wives and three sons. Further research is warranted:

• by his unidentified 1st wife: Richard (1st of this name)
• by his 2nd wife NN de Schoresworth: this Robert
• by his 2nd wife NN de Schoresworth: Richard (2nd of this name)

brief biography and family

From British History Online (link below):

His son Geoffrey succeeded and was in possession in 1254; (fn. 14) he died before 1268, leaving a widow Agnes. (fn. 15) His son and heir Richard de Worsley made several grants and acquisitions of land, (fn. 16) and was still living in 1292. (fn. 17) He had many children, including Richard, who seems to have died about the same time as his father; (fn. 18) Henry, who succeeded, and held Worsley for about ten years, dying in or before 1304; (fn. 19) and Jordan, who had Wardley. Henry de Worsley was twice married, and left two sons, Richard and Robert; the latter, by the second wife, (fn. 20) had a share of the manor, known as Booths, assigned to him in 1323, so that in future, out of the free rent, he and his heirs were to pay 2s. to the chief lord, leaving 18s. to be paid by the lord of Worsley. (fn. 21) Richard, who was living in 1332, (fn. 22) was succeeded by his son Henry, dead in 1350; (fn. 23) and Henry in turn was followed by his grandson Sir Geoffrey de Worsley, son of Geoffrey. (fn. 24)
