Richard and Mary's son, Sir Richard Tempest, had an illustrious career involving battles with the Scots and French and extensive administrative responsibilities in the north of England under five kings of England, from Edward III to Henry VI. As noted above, he was co-warden of Berwick Castle with Sir Thomas Talbot, presumably his mother's brother, in 1385-86. (This could not have been her father, since he was dead by 1366, History of Whalley, v. 1, p. 500.)
Richard's birth year is well established through his testimony in the Scrope and Grosvenor trial, when he said in October 1386 that he was 30 years old (N. Harris Nicholas, Scrope and Grosvenor Controversy, 1832, v. 1, pp. 198-99, v. 2, pp. 473-74; Nicholas suggests two possibilities for Richard's father, both of which are clearly wrong). He made his will 26 August 1427 and it was proved by his son Roger 30 September 1430 (Testamenta Eboracensia I, hereafter Test. Ebor., Surtees Society Publications v. 4, p. 412-13). As evidence for his death in 1428, EBT cites non-payment of an annuity due to him "because he is dead" (quoting Duchy of Lancaster Minister's Accounts No. 8352, Bdle. 524) and accounts of the Priory of Finchale for May 1429 to May 1430 (Surtees Society Publications vol. 6, p. cciii). (J. S. Roskell, The House of Commons 1386-1421, 1992, pp. 573-575, has a biography which incorrectly identifies Richard's father as his grandfather, John, and does not identify his wife.)
