(1370 - 1436)
According to Wikipedia:
Sir Robert Ogle (c.1370–1436) of Ogle, Northumberland was an English landowner, Member of Parliament and administrator.[1]
He was born the eldest son of Sir Robert Ogle and his wife Joan, daughter and coheiress of Sir Alan Heton of Ingram.
Bothal castle, Northumberland
His career began with his appointment for life in 1403 by Walter Skirlaw, Bishop of Durham to several offices (Constable of Norham castle, steward, sheriff, escheator and chief justice) in the bishop's liberty of Norhamshire and Islandshire. Knighted in 1410, he was sent by the king on a number of missions to Scotland as a diplomatic envoy.
He inherited a number of estates and properties from his father on the latter's death in 1409, but the one he coveted, Bothal Castle, had already gone to his younger brother. Robert, however, managed to obtain possession of it by a combination of force and cunning.
