Richard Saint-George (born circ. 1577, died 17th May 1635)
was the son of Thomas Saint-George of Hatley Saint-George,
Cambridge. He was always a great student of heraldry and
genealogy. In 1602 he was made Berwick Pursuivant, and in 1603
Norroy King-of-Arms. He conducted visitations of Derbyshire,
Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, and other counties. In 1616 he
received the honour of Knighthood.
Sir Richard became Clarencieux King-of-Arms in 1623, and
presently, with Sir John Borough, Norroy, he conducted several
further visitations in the southern counties of England. He
wrote several valuable genealogical works, many of which are
among the manuscripts in the British Museum. Many of his
writings have been published. His son Henry afterwards became
Garter King-of-Arms.
