Narrative
Richard's first marriage to Isabel le Despenser was annulled on 4 December 1344 by Papal mandate, supposedly on the grounds that they were married during their minority and without their consent. The reality is that the Earl probably wished to be rid of his wife, who had no value to him after her father's attainder and execution. He held the office of Sheriff of Shropshire in 1345. He held the office of Admiral of the West between 1345 and 1347. He fought in the Battle of Crécy on 26 August 1346, where he commanded the 2nd division. He fought in the fall of Calais in 1347.2 On 30 June 1347 he succeeded to the vast estates of the family of Warenne.
