Biography
Richard of Harcourt was the son of Robert II of Harcourt and Jeanne of Meulan, Dame of Meulan and Brionne.
He was named in 1210 as one of the chevaliers to King Philip II Augustus of France and was invited to assist the crowning of King Louis IX at Rheims on 29 November 1226.
In September 1235, he was summoned by King Saint Louis to Saint-Denis with the thirty principal lords and barons of France to oppose the imposition of royal justice into earthly affairs. They were supported by Pope Gregory IX on this subject, as well as the Duke of Burgundy and the Count of Brittany.
He died before 1242.
