The Yorkes were an extremely successful mercantile family from the city of York. The first Sir Richard Yorke (d. 1498) had been both mayor and M.P. for the city, and was knighted by Henry VII. The Yorkes blazed a colorful trail through history. Sir Richard's grandson was knighted by Edward VI before being thrown into the Tower by Mary Tudor (Queen Mary a.k.a. "BloodyMary"). Sir Edward Yorke repelled the Armada before circumnavigating the world with his cousin, Sir Martin Frobisher. Sir John, a staunch catholic, was implicated in the Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot. When the rebellious villagers were compelled to go to church he hired a piper to play in the churchyard, creating "such a noyse in time of praier as the minister colde not well be hearde". The Church of ST. JOHN the Evangelist,~ near Ouse-bridge, in Micklegate, appertains to the dean and chapter of York. The Rev. James Richardson, M.A. is the curate. Sir Richard shifted his allegiance and his ornaments from the St. Jo!
hn, in Hungate, church to St John, in Micklegate. Sir Richard Yorke is buried in the Yorke Chantry in The Church of St. John, shown below. The steeple was blown down by a high wind in 1551, and has never been rebuilt. In consequence of the recent improvements near Ouse-bridge, the burying ground has been materially contracted, and the street made more spacious in front of the church. It is currently a pub known as "The Parish".

...
The elder Sir Richard York (d. 1498), founder of the family, and great-grandfather of Sir John York, was admitted to the freedom of the city of York by purchase in 1456. In 1459 he was chamberlain; in 1466 sheriff and mayor of the staple of Calais at York; and in 1469 and 1482 he was mayor of York. On 14 Sept. 1472 he was returned to parliament for the city of York, and he is said to have served the city in six parliaments (Davies, Extracts from the Municipal Records of York, p. 122). He was knighted at York by Henry VII on 31 July 1487, besides receiving a pension of 20l. in 1486 which was doubled in 1488 (Pat. Rolls, 5 Hen. VII, m. 19). It is probable that, in accordance with the statement in Glover's 'Visitation,' he died in 1498, and that his son Sir Richard York died in 1508. The younger Sir Richard was buried in the church of St. John, Micklegate, his portrait appearing in the east window.

Sir Richard York (1430– 1498),
administrator. Richard York became a freeman of York by purchase in 1456 and steadily
worked his way into positions of increasing status and importance in the city. He was
chamberlain from 1459 to 1460, sheriff from 1465 to 1466, and entered the Corpus
Christi Guild in 1469. Having been installed as mayor of the staple of Calais in 1467, he
was mayor of York from 1469 to 1470 and again from 1482 to 1483. In 1475 he was
master of the Merchants' Guild and was made alderman of the city some time before
1487. He survived the accession of Henry VII and was knighted by the king at York in
July 1487, after the victory at the battle of Stoke on 16 June, and granted a £20 annuity
the following November. York acted as ambassador in France in 1486 and again in 1491.
He was returned for the city of York to the parliaments of 1472– 5, January 1483,
October 1483, 1484, 1485– 6, and 1489– 90. On 2 January 1487 he treated with the
embassy from Maximilian I and went with the embassy to the Hanse on 20 April 1491.

Richard York's first wife was probably Jane, daughter of Richard Mauleverer of Allerton,
Lancashire. They had at least seven sons, including Richard (d. c.1508), Christopher,
and Thomas, and four daughters. York's second wife, Joan (d. in or after 1498), was the
widow of both John Dalton and John Whitfield (d. 1479). The couple's sons included
Adam, William, and John. Sir Richard York died on 25 November 1498. His will is dated
8 April 1498, and was proved on 17 July 1499. He asked to be buried at St John the
Evangelist in Ousebridge, Yorkshire. He left all his tenements in Hull to his wife. His will
mentions two illegitimate sons, George and Giles York. York's executors were William
Senhouse, bishop of Carlisle, Sir Reynold Bray, and his sons, Dr Christopher York,
Richard, and William York. His son and heir, Sir Richard York the younger, probably
died in 1508 and was buried in St John's Michaelgate in York. The glass in the east
window of this building displays a kneeling effigy of Sir Richard York the younger in his
surcoat and spurs. He founded a chantry there and was married twice.
