Richard de Luci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard de Luci (died 1179) (Richard de Lucy) was first noted as Sheriff of the County of Essex. His wife Rohese, who is named in several documents, might have been a sister of Faramus of Boulonge. When Henry II came to the throne in 1154, he was made Chief Justiciar of England jointly with Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester. When de Beaumont died in 1168, he continued to hold the office in his own right.
He resigned his office in 1179, and retired to Lesnes Abbey in Kent, where he died and was buried three months later 14 July 1179.
His second son was Godfrey de Luci (d. 1204), Bishop of Winchester.
