GENERATION 5

11. JOAN CHAMPERNOUN. Died 1419. Vivian (p. 162) and Pole (Devon, p. 255, 256) both incorrectly call her the daughter of Alexander. At the inquisition of proof of age of her son, Philip de Courtenay, held at Tyuerton on 12 Feb 1424/5, John Colle, a witness to the baptism, who was a servant of Richard de Champernoun, kt. and was sent by him to Ashton to present the mother of Philip with a silver cup, refers to Richard Champernoun as "father of the mother of theinfant" (Inq. 3 Hen VI, file 20 (50)). As the daughter of Sir Richard by his 1st wife, the evidence may be found in Ashton Church wherein is a crest of the Chudleighs under which are twenty-five coats of arms showing the various matrimonial alliances of the Chudleighs. Included among them are those of Champernoun and Astley (the latter being Azure, a cinquefoil ermine, RTDA, 31 [1899], p. 191-192, where it is identified as Ashley, but see CP, 1: 283, where the Astleyarms are thus identified). She married 1stly, Sir James Chudleigh, died c1402; and 2ndly, c1403, Sir John Courtenay, who died before 1415 (CP, 4: 335).

Note: CP IV:335 is nothing but a chart which gives John's name, with no wife, dates, or other information, except that he is son of Philip, d. 1406, and fatherof another Philip, d. 1463. Parents: Of Modbury, Sir Richard III CHAMPERNOUN and Alice De ASTLEY.

GENERATION 5

10. ALEXANDER CHAMPERNOUN. According to the 1422 IPM of his cousin, Otho Champernoun, he was aged 40 or more and the son of Richard, son of Thomas, thus was born in or before 1382. In1405, Alexander Champernoun and Joan, his wife, and the heirs of Joan's sisters, sued for the manors of Beer Ferrers, Newton Ferrers and other lands in Devonand Cornwall (De Banco Plea Rolls, Easter Term, 6 Hen IV, m. 308). In Feb 1416/7, Alexander Champernoun, esq., Sir John Cornwall, and Thomas Bonville, esq. presented to Beer Ferrers. In 1418, John Cornwall, Knt., sued Alexander Champernoun, armiger, for the next presentation to the church of Newton Ferrers (De Banco Plea Rolls, Hillary Term, 6 Hen. V, m. 415). Cornwall lost and in Feb 1418/9, Alexander alone presented to Newton Ferrers (Stafford, p. 145, 149). He unsuccessfully disputed the claim of his nephew, Richard, to succeed, despite showing that his father had devised Ashton Rohant to the younger Richard and theheirs of his body (VCH, Oxford, 8: 21). He died 30 June 1441 (IPM, 21 Hen. VI, no. 19) and was buried in the Church of St. Andrew at Beer Ferrers (so statedin the will of his son John).
By Nov 1384 he was married to Joan, daughter ofMartin Ferrers and heiress to Beer Ferrers (Cal. Close Rolls, 1381-5: 587-588).

13. JOHN CHAMPERNOUN (de CAMPO ARNULPHI in his IPM), of Insworth. Died 2 June 1449 (IPM 27 Hen. VI, file 133 (7)). At his death he held no lands in Devonshire or Cornwall.

He married Margaret Hamley, daughter of Arthur Hamley, of Halwyn, co. Cornwall. Margaret was born 1409.

Spouse: Thomas STONEHOUSE. Margaret CHAMPERNOUN and Thomas STONEHOUSE were married.¹⁶ Children were: Katherine STONEHOUSE.

Many people, spelling Margaret's last name as Champernoun, have her as daughter of Richard Champernoun (whom I say is her grandfather) and Katherine Daubney (a late3rd wife). Other people, spelling her last name as Champernon agree with the way I have it. Still others, spelling her name as Champernowne have a different story.

GENERATION 5

14. MARGARET CHAMPERNOUN. Married c1419, Robert Hill (1392-1444), of Shilston, Devonshire. Vivian (p. 162) places her as the daughter of Richard Champernoun (died 1337), but this is clearly impossible as her son, John, was born 29 May 1420, and several more children followed soon after. In Vivian's pedigree of Hill of Shilston (p. 486), based uponthe Visitation of 1580, she is simply called the daughter of Sir Richard Champernowne of Modbury without any distinction as to which Richard is meant. Hill served as Sheriff of Devonshire, 1428 and Knight of the Shire for Devon in 1442. He died shortly before 12 May 1444 and on 18 Nov 1445 a commission was appointed to inquire into his will.

Unlike the Modbury and Ilfracombe branches of the family, the Champernouns of North Tawton are a bit more difficult to place. Vivian (p. 160) calls Oliver the son of John Champernoun and grandson of Sir William Champernoun, of Ilfracombe, who died in 1305 and appears as No. 3 under Champernoun of Ilfracombe. However, insofar as Sir William's son John was a cleric whose church career covered the period from 1309 until his death in 1335, it does not seem likely that he was Oliver's father.
The 1422/3 IPM of Oliver's grandson, Otho Champernoun, is quite extensive, and being childless, and an onlychild himself, names a number of relatives as his heirs. Included among several aunts he names a cousin, Alexander son of Richard Champernoun. It should beremembered that by this time the Champernouns of Ilfracombe had died out long before in their male issue and only the Modbury family was still flourishing.
But where could Oliver fit that would make some sense? It is my belief he was a younger brother of Sir Richard Champernoun, of Modbury. Consider that Oliver was already an adult by 1332 and he was married to Egelina de Valletort, a daughter and co-heiress of Hugh de Valletort of North Tawton. Her sister, Elizabeth, was the wife of Sir Richard Champernoun of Modbury. Whereas Richard was nota name that appeared in the Ilfracombe family, it certainly does so in each generation of the Modbury line. As the brother and brother-in-law of a Richard Champernoun, uncle and great-uncle of other Richard Champernouns, Oliver also named one of his sons Richard. The 1332 Devonshire Lay Subsidy assigns only property in North Tawton to Oliver Champernoun and this came to him through his marriage, thus there appears to be way to connect him to property he may have received from his father. The rationale, though logical, is admittedly weak and any other alternatives are welcome.

Sources are noted throughout. For more complete citations please refer to Champernoun of Modbury, Part 2 of 2.

2. Sir RICHARD CHAMPERNOUN. Died shortly before 26 Nov 1338 when Bishop Grandisson recorded the testamentary probate of Lord Richard de Campo Arnulphi, Knight (Grandisson: 894). The will itself was not recorded in the register and is now lost. In 1285, by commandment of Edward I, James de Okeston conveyed Modbury to him. On 13 Apr 1315, a plea of covenant was summonedwherein James de Oxton acknowledged the manor and advowson of Brideford (Bridford) to be the right of Richard as by James's gift, to be held by James for hislife upon payment of a yearly rose, and after his death the manor and advowsonwould revert in its entirety to Richard (Devon Fines, 2: no. 1023). On 20 Jan1315/6, James de Oxton and Ida, his wife, acknowledged the manor of Modbury and advowson and priory of Modbury to be the right of Henry de Lappeslode as by James' gift, that Henry granted the manor and advowson to James and Ida for their lives, and after their deaths, the manor and advowson shall remain in their entirety to Richard de Campo Arnulphi and his heirs (Devon Fines, 2: no. 1031).
On 25 Sept 1319 he received a grant, at the request of Edmund de Woodstock, the King's brother, for a weekly market on Tuesday at his manor of Inneswerk, co.Cornwall, and a yearly fair there on the vigil, the feast and morrow of St. Michael (Cal.

According to a inquisition of proof of age made at Jevelchestre on 6 Aug 1366,he was born 29 June 1344 at the manor of Suddon, Somersetshire and baptised inthe church of Wyncaulton. On the occasion of his baptism, his great-grandfather, Sir Richard Lovel, gave a celebration (CIPM, 7: 91). On 27 Nov 1368 he wasappointed Sheriff of Devonshire in succession to his father (Cal. Fine Rolls, 1356-68, p. 392). In Nov 1377 he paid homage and fealty to the King for the manor of Ashton Rowhant, Oxfordshire (Cal. Close Rolls, 1377-81, p. 22). As a knight he was appointed assessor of a tax in Devonshire, 27 May 1379 (Cal. Fine Rolls, 1377-83, p. 142 and was again appointed Sheriff for a one-year term on 1 Nov 1381 (ibid., p. 270) and 18 Jan 1387 (Cal. Fine Rolls, 1383-91, p. 152). In 1395 he was holding Stokkinchurche Manor, Oxfordshire (CIPM, 7: no. 476).
In1393 and 1394 Richard Chambernon, Kt. and Catherine, his wife, received indents from the Catholic Church to make confessions, obtain a portable alter and celebrate mass. (Cal. of State Papers, vol. 4, 1362-1404: Entries Relating to Great Britain and Ireland, pp. 483, 489, 494, 497, 498).
As Lord of Portelmouth,one of the Rohant manors, he presented to the church there in Jan 1383/4, Sept1399 and May 1405 (Brantscombe, p. 86; Stafford, p. 195); as Lord of Dodbrook,another Rohant manor, he presented to the church there in Mar 1383/4, Mar 1403, June 1405, Nov 1409, and Nov 1410 (Brantyngham, p. 87, Stafford, p. 163-4); as Lord of Modbury, he presented to Modbury Priory in March 1398/9, Feb 1406/7 and Jan 1415/6 (Stafford, p. 188); and as Lord of Bridford, he presented there to the church in Sept 1399 (Stafford, p. 150). On 14 July 1402, Richard Chambernon, "chivaler," was appointed a commissioner of array for Devon (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1401-5, p. 114). On 1 Jan 1412, he and others granted 40 acres in Wodelegh to the parson of Wodelegh in exchange for 40 acres in the same town (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1408-13, p. 368).
His will of 26 Feb 1418/9 was proved 3 Apr 1419,naming his wife Katherine and sons Richard and John. He requested burial in the parish church of Dodbrooke by the side of his wife Katherine (Stafford, p. 422-3).
Vivian (p. 162) reports he was married 1stly to Alice, daughter of Thomas, Lord Astley, and 2ndly to Katherine, daughter of Sir Giles Daubeney. For confirmation of Alice as a Astley see following, under Joan Champernoun (no. 11)where, Joan's Chudleigh descendants impale the arms of Champernoun and Astley (RTDA, 31: 92). Alice would consequently be a daughter of Thomas de Astley, ofAstley and Bentley, Warwickshire, 3rd Baron Astley, and his wife, Elizabeth deBeauchamp, a relationship accepted by Paget in his Official Baronage (no. 9). Katherine was apparently the daughter of that Sir Giles Daubeny, who was the 3rd Baron Daubeny, of Kilmersdon, Somersetshire, who died 24 June 1386, and his wife Eleanor Wyllington, herself a Champernoun descendant, though no daughter is named among their children in Lord Hylton's Notes on the History of the Parish of Kilmersdon [Taunton, 1910].
