Sybil Ryther, formerly the wife of the late William Ryther, kt, Yorks.
Sibyl died on 3 September 1439 at Harewood, Yorkshire. At his mother's death in 1439, Wm Ryther was aged 60. This means that she was 12 when he was born!.
Sir William Ryther was her son & heir. The 1491 Inquisition implies that Harewood came to the Rythers by the gift of Thomas Thwaytes and William Barker, made by way of a fine, with the King's licence, to Wm Ryther, kt., and Sibyl his wife ... remainder to her right heirs. She was buried after 3 September 1440 at Harewood.

When de Aldeburgh’s son died in 1391, he left no male heir and the estate passed to his two daughters, Sybil and Elizabeth. They and their husbands Sir William Ryther and Sir Richard Redmayne shared occupation of the castle, either simultaneously or in a 14th century version of time-share, an arrangement the two families continued for more than 200 years.
