RICHARD ([1180/83]-[8 Jun 1236/39]). La Roque gives an extract (in French translation) of a charter dated 1192 under which “Robert de Harcourt surnommé le Tort” donated property to the monastery of Notre-Dame de la Noë, with the consent of “Richard, Jean et Amaury de Harcourt ses enfants”[2726]. King John confirmed the grant of "Welleboe" made to "Ric de Harac' t" by "Robtus com de Mellet" by charter dated 3 Jun 1203[2727]. Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy", quotes (in translation) a letter dated 26 Dec 1206 from John King of England addressed to Richard d´Harcourt and Jean his brother which records their intention of returning to England and the king´s promise to restore to them their English lands[2728]. Sire d´Harcourt. m ([after 25 Jun 1215]) MATHILDE de Taisson, daughter of RAOUL Taisson & his wife Mathilde de La Lande-Patri (-after 28 Apr 1242). A document dated 27 Jul 1381 in litigation in the Paris parliament records that the third of the three daughters of "Raoul Tesson sire de la Roche Tesson, de Tuit, Tury, Fontenay le Marmion" was married "à J. d´Harcourt"[2729]. The date of her marriage is estimated on the assumption that her oldest sister, whose marriage was arranged 25 Jun 1215, would have married first. She obtained the barony of Saint-Sauveur under the inheritance of her father[2730]. Her descendants in the male line until 1356 are discussed by Delisle[2731]. Richard & his wife had three children
