Judge
In February 1383, he was made a Justice of the King’s Bench, appointed under King Richard II. This was a hugely important position and one of the highest to which a lawyer could aspire. It entailed his sitting in judgment on cases brought before the King. He was knighted by King Richard in 1387, surely the pinnacle of his career. His greatest claim to fame today, however, is that his daughter Marged or Margaret married Owain Glyndŵr, probably in 1383.
Sir David Hanmer died in late 1387 unaware of the conflict that was to befall his family.
