There have been two Richards of York Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (1411–1460), father of Edward IV of England and Richard III of England Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York (1473–1483), second son of Edward IV of England, one of the Princes in the Tower The second couldn’t have fought in any battles so if anyone it is the first Richard. This Richard had struggled to hold onto English lands in France and Normandy, and was thwarted to some extent by a lack of troops, so may well have battled in vain.
