Collins's peerage of England; genealogical, biographical, and historical, Volume 4 by Arthur Collins, Sir Egerton Brydges

"Sir Richard de Harcourt, Knt. who in 1293, obtained, from King Edward I. a grant of the fairs and markets at Bosworth. He married Margaret, a daughter of Sir John Beke, of Eresby, in Lincolnshire, and sister and coheir of Sir Walter Beke, lineally descended from Walter Bec, who had a fair inheritance in Flanders; and. coming to England with William the Conquerer, had a grant from him of the said Eresby, and divers other fair lordships. This Sir John Beke, of Eresby, by his last will, dated at Eresby, on Wednesday preceding the feast of St. Margaret (July 20th), 1301, bequeathed his body to be buried in the chapel of St. Maurice, within the abbey of Kirstede; unto which he gave his coat of mail, gauntlets, harness of iron, lance, and target; leaving the rest of his armour to Sir Robert de Willoughby, and Sir John de Harcourt, son of this Sir Richard, who, besides the said Sir John, had also, by Margaret his wife, another son, Nicholas, Rector of Sheppey, in Leicestershire, who by a roll of fines, 4 Edward III. appears to have conveyed to his nephew, Sir Richard, and his wife after-mentioned, the manors of Stanton-Harcourt and Market Bosworth; which he probably held in trust."
