Below is a link to the will of Richard Pickering 1330-1391 of Oswaldkirk, photographed in varying shades of luminosity by the Borthwick Institute. I think I could understand the Latin if I dig deep enough into what's left from my schooldays, but I'm having difficulty with the writing. I'm not asking for a translation but would like to know if he was married and had any children, and if so what were their names and did they inherit.

The first line contains Ego Ricrd Pykeryng, and is that Agnes a few words later?
On the fifth and sixth lines we see Robto, but there's no mention of filio.
The executors seem to be Thomas de Danby de --cton and Adam de Helmeslay.
I'm thinking of buying Latin for Local & Family Historians by Denis Stuart. Do you recommend it?
Thanks, Hazel
