"Sir Rauffe Ellerker of Risby (in Howdenshire), East Yorkshire
Died 22 Nov. 1539. Knighted by the Earl of Surrey at the battle of Flodden (1513), took part in the 1512 Spanish expedition, was an esquire of the king's body, & received a salary as one of the king's spears of honour [D.N.B. 6,
661]. As "Rauf Ellercar, th'elder," he received a stag granted in the 7 Mar. 1522/3 will of his uncle Hugh Eure, rector of Huggate and Brompton [Test. Ebor. 4, 84].
Pilgrimage of Grace 1541
Note: The Sir Ralph would be the son of the above ]
" The first great rendezvous in Yorkshire, was on Market Weighton Common. Here, William Stapleton, with 9,000 men of Holderness and Beverley, joined Aske, who divided his army into separate divisions. Stapleton was ordered to march upon Hull, then the most formidable fortress in the North of England, and which was at that time held by Sir Ralph Ellerker and Sir George Conyers for the king.
On January 18th Sir Francis [Bygod] entered Beverley, intending to march on Hull and rescue Hallom, but on the morning of the 19th before daylight, he was attacked by Sir Ralph Ellerker, was utterly defeated, and left sixty-two prisoners in the hands of the enemy.
Brennan and other historians have represented Bygod's rebellion as being crushed by the King's troops. It was not so. The rising was put down by the very gentlemen who had taken part in the Pilgrimage of Grace. On January 24th Henry himself wrote to both Darcy and Aske, and on the 25th to Sir Ralph Ellerker, acknowledging their services, and yet two out of three of these gentlemen were subsequently indicted for aiding and abetting Bygod.
In the summer of 1541,[ King ] Henry [VIII] paid his long-deferred progress into Yorkshire. He left London on the 4th July, taking with him his young and beautiful Queen, Catherine Howard.
The king remained three days in Hull, and was "most magnificently and nobly entertained at the town's expense," and on leaving, his majesty graciously accepted from the town a purse containing £100. The royal party then set out for Risby, the seat of Sir Ralph Ellerker, en route for York. "
