Richard de Canville (nobleman, † 1217)

Richard de Canville (also Camville ) († March 1217) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman.

Richard de Canville came from the Anglo-Norman family Canville . He was a son of Gerard de Canville and his wife Nicola de la Haye . Through his mother, his father had become a constable of Lincoln Castle . After Richard came of age, he took over the administration of his wife's inheritance in Oxfordshire , and after his father's death in late 1214, he inherited his extensive estates, which were mainly in Northamptonshire and also in Oxfordshire. The post of constable of Lincoln Castle, however, kept his mother. In contrast to his parents, who were loyal supporters of King John Ohneland , Richard de Canville supported the nobility opposition to the king, which finally rebelled openly from the end of 1215 in the first war of the barons . Presumably ill, Canville died in early March 1217, before the end of the Civil War.

Canville was married in 1200 to Eustachia, the daughter and heiress of Gilbert Basset († 1205), Lord of Bicester , and widow of Thomas de Verdon. His heiress became his daughter Idonea, whom he had betrothed to the young William Longespée II in April 1216 . While she was a minor, William Longespée , the father of young Longespée, acquired the right to administer Camvilles' estates in November 1217.
