Sir Richard Draycote was Justice of Chester, was knighted in 1244-1250 and died sometime between 1260-1268. Sir Richard married at least twice or possibly three times. His first wife was Aliva de Legh of Leigh near Uttoxter. His third wife, who survived him, was Orabilis. Orabilis was sister of Sarra de Thene (Tean), and she had previously been married to a Robert de Bek. Orabilis wasn't married to Sir Richard for long because in 1272 it was recorded that she was the wife of Sir William Wyther. Sir Richard had sons Philip, Roger and Richard. Richard was likely the son of Orabilis.
