This might just be a case of some people mistakenly promoting an ancestor to a status that he didn't actually have. Although there does appear to have been a Sir Richard Pike in the 1300s, I haven't found anything to confirm that Richard of Newbury had such a title.
Incidentally, a descendant of Richard of Newbury is in the Pike DNA Project, so we know that Richard's patriline belongs to a larger Pike cluster that seems to be centred around Hampshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire.
