__________________________________

her identification as the mother of Sir Josce de Dinham was
shown by Douglas Richardson:
'A few years after the death of Sir Oliver de Dynham, his son, Josce's
son and heir, John de Dynham, came of age. This took place in 1316.
Shortly before John obtained livery of his father's lands, Hugh de
Courtenay (grandson of Isabel de Vere) wrote a letter to William de
Airmyn dated c. September 1316, in which he requested assistance for
his kinsman, John de Dynham, now of age, in obtaining seisin of his
lands [Reference: List of Ancient Correspondence, Lists and Indexes,
No. XV, reprinted 1968, pg. 552; cf. Index to Ancient Correspondence
of the Chancery and the Exchequer, 1 (Lists and Indexes, Supplementary
Series, No. XV) (reprinted 1969), pp. 308, 351]. The King
subsequently took John de Dynham's homage, and he had livery of his
father's lands, 18 October 1316.'[33]

The relationship between John de Dinham and Hugh de Courtenay was that
of first cousins (of the half-blood):

______________________________________

her dower included Newton Poppleford, Devon and 'Aylebeare': concerning
which, her son Hugh de Courtenay had evidently contested her rights.
' In 1281–2, Hugh de Curtenay stated that a market at ‘Nywanton’ had been
held by his ancestors as part of the barony of Okehampton, but that neither
he nor Oliver de Dynham and Isabella his wife, who were holding ‘Aylebere’
and ‘Nyeweton’ in dower of the inheritance of Hugh de Curtenay, now claimed
a market at ‘Nyweton’ (QW, pp. 171, 178).'[15]

William married Dionisia de Champernoun.

Re: Dionisia de Champernoun and her parentage, Ronny Bodine wrote:
' Vivian (p. 160) names John, Reginald and Henry [but not William] as
sons of Sir Henry de Campo Arnulphi and his wife Dionisia, although this
writer
believes he misidentified another John with the priest of the same name. In
addition, Vivian named two daughters, Dionisia, wife of Sir William Bottreaux
and Margaret, wife of Otho Bodrigan. Sir William Bottreaux, of Worthevale,
Penhale, Crackhampton and Botylet, co. Cornwall was born in 1242 and died 1302
(Trigg, 1: 634). Pole (Devon, p. 427) reports he held Cadbury and
Stockleigh-English in free-marriage with Dionisia, but the evidence for this
has not been found. In fact, Stockleigh-English was held by William
Champernoun (viz. no. 10) who presented there in May 1344.'[63]

His IPM (1292) makes reference to his having held a fair. He had made claims
earlier (noted above) that no fair had been held by himself or his mother,
' However, in 1292 Hugh de Curtenay was holding a fair at Aylesbeare,
possibly associated with ‘the township of la Nywaton’. Profits of a fair
at the manor of Aylesbeare were noted in 1292 (CIPM, iii, nos. 31, 65).'[15]

he evidently has a genealogical link to King Edward I of England and
his brother Edmund. Douglas Richardson wrote,
' Dear Newsgroup:

I've located two references in the medieval source, Foedera, in which
Edmund, Earl of Lancaster (younger son of King Henry III of England)
refers to Sir John de St. John as his "cousin" [see abstracts below].
I haven't made an attempt to determine the exact nature of the kinship
involved, but I presume it comes through John de St. John's maternal
grandmother, Milicent (de Gournay) de Cantelowe. Milicent de Gournay
has many descendants, among them being Milicent de Cantelowe, wife of
Eudes la Zouche, of recent topic here on the newsgroup.

If anyone has any particulars which might identity the kinship between
Earl Edmund and John de St. John, I'd appreciate it if they would post
their information here on the newsgroup. Thanks!

Wilton (cf. J. Ravilious, 'Identification of Maud, wife of John de Moels,
Lord Moels (d.1310)' , Society of Medieval Genealogy, 15 January 2002).
The primary evidence are the fines of ca. 1311/12 by John de Grey, Lord
Grey, including provisions for Roger de Moels [identified by John
Ravilious as grandson of John de Grey].[67]

confirmatory information:

of his brother and heir John de Moels (who was married subsequently to
his daughter Muriel Lovel[9])
