Richard de Turberville (nobleman, around 1320)

The main gate of Coity Castle, which fell to Lawrence Berkerolles after the death of Richard de Turberville

Richard de Turberville (also Richard II de Turberville ) (* around 1320, † between 1366 and 1367) was an English nobleman. He was the last male member of the main line of the Turberville family of Coity.

Gilbert de Turberville came from the Turberville family, who had been among the most important vassals of the Lords of Glamorgan in Southeast Wales since the early 12th century . He was a younger son of Payn de Turberville , who died in 1327 at the latest. While his older brother Gilbert IV inherited most of the family estates in the Welsh Marches , Richard received about a third of his father's estates. After the childless death of his nephew Gilbert V , his brother's son, he inherited his part of the Turberville inheritance in 1350, which was then reunited in his hands.

Turberville was a loyal retainer of the Lords of Glamorgan of the Despenser family . He died shortly after 1366 and was probably buried in Margam Abbey . Before his death, he divided his property among the male descendants of his five sisters. The reign of Coety with Coity Castle fell to Sir Lawrence Berkerolles , a younger son of his second sister Katherine .
