Notes:

Sir HENRY de CAMPO ARNULPHI (CHAMBERNUN). Still a minor in 1242/3 when the lands of his late father were noted as being held by his heirs. Henry de Chambernun and Dionisia, his wife, were named in a land warranty of 6 June 1249. On 9 Dec 1262, he was holder of the "Court of Henry and his heirs at Alfricumb" (Ilfracombe) where Henry himself was a plaintiff. On 24 Nov 1265, a mandate was issued to Henry de Chaumbren to deliver the castle to Ralph de Gorges. On 16 Feb 1270, in a fine between Henry de Chaumbernun, claimant and Hugh de Treverbyn, deforciant, regarding the manors of Trevolonan, Tywardrayth, Ludevon (Ludgvan) and Penalym (Penhallyn in Jacobstow), Hugh acknowledged the manors that Henry held by gift of Isolda de Cardinham. As Lord of Ilfracombe, he presented there to the church in June 1263, June 1272, and Dec 1276; as Lord of Jacobstowe, Cornwall he presented there to the church in June 1270, then being called a knight, and in Sept 1272. As Lord of Coryton (Curitone) he presented there to the church in Sept 1279. On 22 April 1279 he was given a grant of a weekly market and a yearly fair at his manor of Ilfracombe. On 5 July 1277 he had protection going to Wales on the King's service and was last recorded as justice of the gaol delivery at Oxford and Exeter in May and July 1281.

Vivian states he married Dionisia, daughter of Gilbert and sister and coheiress of Sir Robert English or Engloiz, of Stokeley. He was certainly married to a Dionisia by June 1249 who survived her husband as Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi when, in March 1284, she presented Oliver de Campo Arnulphi, subdeacon, presumably their son, as rector of Jacobstowe.

Stockeley-Engles (Stockleigh-English) was in possession of her grandson, Henry, who presented to the church in April 1312.

Children:
1.) Sir William de Champernoun, m. Joan.

2.) Sir Richard de Champernoun, m. Joan. See CHAMPERNOUN OF MODBURY.

3.) Oliver de Champernoun. As a subdeacon, he was presented as rector of Jacobstowe, co. Cornwall by Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi in March 1284. The relationship is unstated though it seems likely Dame Dionisia was presenting one of her younger sons.

Henry married Dionisia ENGLISH before 1245 in Broadclyst, Devon, England. Dionisia (daughter of Sir Robert ENGLISH and Lady Agathe) was born in 1230 in Stockleigh Ginglish, Devon, England; died in 1284 in Umberleigh, Devonshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Champernouns of Ilfracombe, Devonshire precede the Modbury branch and herein provide the two generations before Sir Richard de Champernoun of Modbury who appeared as No. 1 in the Champernouns of Modbury. Unlike the Modbury family, where Champernoun seemed to be the preferred spelling, I have herein applied the most used forms of the name for each individual as found in original records. Sources are noted throughout.

OLIVER de CAMPO ERNULFI (ERNULPHI). Dead by 1242/3 when his heirs are reported to be in possession of his lands in Ilfracombe, Burch, and Southcott, Devonshire. He was married to Wymarca, living in 1238. She had a suit in 1232 regarding land in Gillescot, Devonshire.

Pole's Devon calls him a knight, but there is no evidence of this. Vivian states he married Eva, "da. of ..., cognata et coheses Isolda filia et coheridis Andrea, Baronis de Cardigan," that is, a relative and coheiress of Isolda, daughter and coheiress of Andrea, baroness of Cardinham. But this is not correct as Vivian has confused this Oliver with a distant cousin who was the son of Jordan de Campo Arnulphi and Emma de Soligny, sister of Isolda, wife of Andrew de Cardinham.

Children:
1.) Sir Henry de Campo Arnulphi, m. Dionisia English.

OLIVER de CAMPO ERNULFI (ERNULPHI). Dead by 1242/3 when his heirs are

reported to be in possession of his lands in Ilfracombe, Burch, and Southcott,

Devonshire (The Book of Fees, 2: 778, 784).

He was married to Wymarca, living in 1238. She had a suit in 1232

regarding land in Gillescot, Devonshire (Curia Regis Rolls, 14: 428).

Pole's Devon (p. 157) calls him a knight, but there is no evidence of this.

Vivian (p. 160) states he married Eva, "da. of ..., cognata et coheses Isolda

filia et coheridis Andrea, Baronis de Cardigan," that is, a relative and

coheiress of Isolda, daughter and coheiress of Andrea, baroness of Cardinham.

But this is not correct as Vivian has confused this Oliver with a distant

cousin who was the son of Jordan de Campo Arnulphi and Emma de Soligny, sister

of Isolda, wife of Andrew de Cardinham (CIPM, 4: no. 82).

Children (De Banco Plea Rolls, Trinity 17 Edw. 3, m. 42):

Oliver married Eva Andea Wymarca DE CARDIGAN about 1207 in Broadclyst, Devon, England. Eva (daughter of Gilbert DE ANDEA and Isolda DE CARDIGAN) was born on 1 Jan 1175 in Cardiganshire, Wales; died in 1238 in Clyst Champernon, Devonshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
