He was knighted by April 1246, being one of the four knights sent to receive the oath of Adam de Novomercato, a sick man [Assize Ro. 1045, Easter, 30 Henry iii, m.12 or 13d]. At Pentecost 1247, Richard Tempest witnessed a demise from Walter Stoc to Dns. G. de Alta Ripa and Matilda his wife of a toft and land in Carleton in Craven [Dodsw: MSS, vol. 83, fol. 23].
