According to Wikipedia:

Richard Scrob (sometimes fitzScrob[1] or Fitz Scrob; fl. 1052-1066) was a Frenchman who came to England prior to the Norman Conquest of England.

Richard may have been a Norman, but it is not certain that he was. "Scrob" was not a patronymic, but rather an alternative name that was mistaken by the medieval chronicler John of Worcester as a patronymic. Thus Richard is often known as "Richard fitzScrob" or the alternative spellings.[2]

Richard arrived in England during the reign of Edward the Confessor,[1] probably early in the reign, as he was not expelled from England in 1052 along with many of other non-English landholders when Godwin of Wessex returned to power.[2]

Richard possibly held the office of Sheriff of Worcester during Edward's reign. It is, however, certain that he was trusted by Edward with royal business in his locality. He was also named as housecarl of the king. Richard's main holdings were at Auretone in Herefordshire. He built an earthwork castle there, Richard's Castle, which is one of the few castles that predate the Norman Conquest in England.[2] Besides his holdings around Auretone, he also held lands nearby, extending into Worcestershire and Shropshire.[2]

When William the Conqueror invaded England, Richard joined the Norman cause and took part in the fighting against Eadric the Wild in Herefordshire.[2]

Richard married the daughter of Robert the Deacon, who may be the same person as Robert fitzWimarc.[2] Richard's heir was his son, Osbern fitzRichard,[3] who held Richard's Castle by the time of the Domesday Book.[1] He had another son William also.[2]

Richard's date of death is unknown,[2] but his heir held his lands by 1086.[1]

History
Richard Scrob was a Norman knight granted lands by the Saxon King Edward the Confessor before the Norman Conquest, in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire as recorded in the Domesday Book. He built Richard's Castle before 1051. The castle was a motte-and-bailey style construction, one of only three or four castles of this type built before the Norman conquest. Most were built after the conquest. Richard was last mentioned in 1067. His castle passed to his son, Osbern Fitz Richard, who married Nesta, the daughter of King Gruffydd ap Llywelyn of Wales.

Osbern died around 1137 and was succeeded by his grandson, Osbern Fitz Hugh (married to a sister of Rosamond Clifford), who died in 1187. Richard's Castle then passed to his marital brother-in-law, Hugh de Say, who died in 1190, leaving the barony to his son, another Hugh Say. Thus the castle passed out of the line of descent of Richard Fitz Scrob. In 1196 this Hugh fought at the battle at New Radnor and was probably killed there, his castles eventually passing to Robert de Mortimer of Attleborough. In 1264 his son, Hugh Mortimer, was forced to surrender himself and Richard's Castle to Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester. His grandson, the last Hugh Mortimer of Richard's Castle, was poisoned to death by his wife in 1304. The castle then passed to the Talbots, through Richard Talbot's marriage to Joan Mortimer. On 3 December 1329, Joan late the wife of Richard Thalebot, had noted in the Patent Rolls that she planned to leave Richard's Castle to John de Wotton, chaplain, and William Balle of Underlith, in fee simple.[5] The Talbots were still living there in the late 14th century. By the 16th century it was in ruins.
