The first witness Ralph, archdeacon of Hereford, occurs as a justice of Yorkshire in 1192 and 1194. Early in the reign of Richard I, a controversy about the church of Ryther had ended by a release by the prioress of Nun Appleton of all claim to the advowson, receiving a yearly rent of 5 marks from William de Ryther.

Speight states: A third part of the the manor of Ryther was claimed in dower by Lecia, late wife of John de Rie or Ryther, and this lady on her husband's decease had to prove her just dues against the heirs or successors of her husband by entering a writ in the form of a fine at the King's Court at York before the justices in Eyre on 1 July 1212, whereby she yielded all her rights to a third part of the manor of Rie, with apperturnances to William de Rie (no relationship given) on payment to her by the said William of 15 marks of silver.
