Likely to have belonged to a family named from Irton near Harrogate, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Ralph was a canon at Guisborough priory, and prior there (elected 1257x1261). Elected bishop by the prior and convent without the king's licence, he appealed to Pope Nicholas III who provided him to the see. (Henry Summerson, http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14454).
