Richard Fitz Turold (died after 1103–06) (alias fitzThorold, fitzTurolf [1]) was an eleventh-century Anglo-Norman landowner in Cornwall and Devon, mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 13th century his estates formed part of the Feudal barony of Cardinham, Cornwall, [2] and in 1166 as recorded in the Cartae Baronum his estates had been held as a separate fiefdom from Reginald, Earl of Cornwall. [3]
As the prefix fitz in his surname suggests he was presumably the son of Turold/Thorold/Turolf. [4] A certain "Turulf", presumably his father, witnessed a charter to the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, to which same monastery Richard also granted lands. [5]
He had a castle at Cardinham in Cornwall, [6] in which county he was a major tenant and steward of Robert of Mortain, Count of Mortain, half-brother of King William the Conqueror. His holdings in Cornwall included the manor of Penhallam. [7]
His entry in the Devonshire section of the Domesday Book lists Ricardus filius Turoldus [8] as a tenant-in-chief of the king and holding four properties: [9]
His son was William Fitz Richard of Cardinham, mentioned in deeds in 1110 and 1130, date of death unknown. [12] It has been suggested that William's daughter and heiress became the wife of Reginald, Earl of Cornwall. [13]
