About
Sir Richard Berkeley of Stoke Gifford in Gloucestershire died in 1514 and was the father of the Standard-Bearer of England. His seat matters here for a reason quite apart from the Berkeleys: Stoke Gifford is in the very county this family's Damery origin has been hunted in.
Research notes
✓ DOCUMENTED (Burke's Extinct Peerages 'Berkeley of Stratton' pp.46-47; Kingsley, Landed Families no.580 - both already cited in his son's note as 'recorded here in note, not entered - extendable'): Sir RICHARD BERKELEY, of STOKE GIFFORD, co. GLOUCESTER, d. 1514; m. ELIZABETH CONINGSBY; father of Sir Maurice Berkeley K.B. (I99157), Standard-Bearer of England. Of the BERKELEY CASTLE cadet line. ⚠ NOTE FOR THE DAMERY QUESTION: Stoke Gifford lies in south Gloucestershire, the county of the Damery cluster that is the standing front-runner for the family's English origin - a coincidence of geography only, asserting nothing, but the Stoke Gifford and Berkeley estate papers are Gloucestershire archives this family already has reason to visit. END OF LINE as entered. WIRED 7 Aug 2026 from the subject's own existing note - this parent was already documented in the file but had never been given a record.
