| Notes |
- There is an extended discussion by medieval researchers of the ambiguous evidence supporting Joan's presumed ancestry here.
"Joan, wife of Richard Champernowne of Modbury, is considered to be the illegitimate daughter of Richard, earl of Cornwall. This is known from a single source: The well-known Devonshire antiquarian William Pole writing in the 17th century said he has seen a document where Edmund, earl of Cornwall, called Joan Champernowne his sister. For this to be true she would have to be an illegitimate daughter of his father. His father was known to have had several illegitimate children, including by Joan (Unknown, Valletorte) Okeston ( aka Oxton). Since we also know that Joan's son was a nephew of James de Oxton, it all makes perfect sense that Joan, wife of Richard Champernowne was a daughter of Richard, earl of Cornwall by his known mistress Joan Valletorte."[1]
Per wikipedia:
By his mistress Joan de Valletort, Richard [Earl of Cornwall] had five children... Joan was the daughter of Sir Walter de Bath, Knight and Sheriff of Devon in 1217, and the sister of Henry de Bath. Inquisition And Post Mortem of Devon; Thirteenth-Sixteenth Centuries Court of Chancery states: Walter de Bath held land in Clauton of the gift of Guy Norant of land in Fernhull, held of Joan who was wife of Ralph de Valletorta, who has it in dower. History of St. Mary's Abbey of Buckfast in the county of Devon: A.D. 760– 1906, p. 7.
Joan first married Ralph de Valletort who was living in 1246 and dead by 1267; they were the parents of Reginald de Valletort, Inq. p.m. 1270. Reginald granted Trematon to Earl Richard. Joan later married Alexander Okeston and they were the parents of Sir James Okeston. Children of Richard, Earl of Cornwall and Joan [included] Joan of Cornwall, who received a grant from her half-brother Edmund in which she was called sister, she married firstly, Richard de Champernoun, by whom she had a son, Sir Richard, and secondly, Sir Peter de Fissacre, by whom she had no issue.
