- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_de_Welles,_7th_Baron_Welles
he came to be on good terms with the Yorkist King Edward IV, but was executed after then being associated with plotting against him.
Richard's son Robert, however, took part in Warwick's plots, and in March 1470 attacked the house of Sir Thomas Borough, a knight of the king's body, wrecking it, and driving its owner away. Edward now summoned Richard Welles (the father), and his brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Dymock, to London. At first Welles pleaded illness; but afterwards went, and took sanctuary at Westminster.
Richard left sanctuary on promise of a pardon. Edward made him write to his son, telling him to give up Warwick's cause, and then took him down to Lincolnshire. Angry at the obstinacy of the son, the king beheaded Lord Welles and Dymock at Huntingdon.
