Title: High Sheriff of Lancaster
Name: Richard le Boteler
Herald date: 1241-1246
Azure, a bend between six covered cups Or.
Perhaps linked to the the house of Bewsey, Warrington, the Botelers were related to the de Thorntons; indeed Richard replaced Simon de Thornton as High Sheriff in 1241. There is evidence to suggest that he owned land close to Lancaster, specifically at Catterall.
