  • 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.
