Richard of Pudlicott (d.1306), also known as Richard de Podelicote (or Pudlicote), was an English wool merchant who, down on his luck, became an infamous burglar of King Edward I's Wardrobe treasury at Winchester in 1303. Richard, along with high-ranked accomplices, stole a large portion of the King's treasury of gems, antique gold and coins, estimated at over 100,000 pounds, or about equal to a years tax revenue for the Kingdom of England.
