Ralph Basset (died 1265), was an English baronial leader.[1]
Basset was lord of Drayton in Staffordshire, and, joining the baronial party against Henry III, was appointed by them custos pacis (keeper of the peace) for Shropshire and Staffordshire on 7 June 1264, and was summoned to Simon de Montfort's parliament on 4 December 1264 as Ralph Basset "de Drayton". He fell at the battle of Evesham by De Montfort's side on 4 August 1265, having refused, when urged by him, to seek safety in flight.[1]
His lands were forfeited for rebellion, but restored to his widow Margaret, as the daughter of a royalist, Roger de Someri.[1]
He was the father of Ralph Basset, 1st Lord Basset of Drayton and Maud, who married John Grey, 2nd Baron Grey de Wilton.
