GENERATION 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 summoned wherein 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 his life upon payment of a yearly 
rose, and after his death the manor and advowson would revert in its entirety to 
Richard (Devon Fines, 2: no. 1023). On 20 Jan 1315/6, 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. 
Charter Rolls, 1300-1327, p. 415). Knight of the Shire for Devon Oct 1324 and Sept 
1331 (Parliaments, pp. 71, 94). On 7 July 1324 he was a knight liable for military 
service against the Scots (RTDA, 71: 292, 294). On 28 Aug 1325, he was 
commissioned to pursue and arrest disturbers of the peace and on 28 Feb 1326 was 
appointed a commissioner of the peace in co. Cornwall. On 20 Mar 1326, he was 
appointed arrayer for co. Cornwall (Cal. Patent Rolls, 1321-4, pp. 228, 285, 222). In 
1332, he was holding lands in Brixton, Compton and Egg Buckland, Highampton, North 
Buckland, and Modbury (Devon Lay Subsidy of 1332, p. 12, 15, 65, 81, 100). Holding 
Modbury of John de Dynham, 20 June 1332 (CIPM, 7, p. 327).
On 1 June 1334 he received license to crennelate Modbury Manor (Cal. Patent Rolls, 
1330-34, p. 554) and on 1 Feb 1335, he received a grant, of special grace, of free 
warren in all their demense lands of Modbury, co. Devon and Inneswerk and 
Ledeweyn, co. Cornwall (Cal. Charter Rolls, 1327-1341, p. 322).
By May 1316 (VCH, Somersetshire, 6: 92) he was married to Elizabeth Valletort, 
coheiress of Hugh de Valletort, of North Tawton, and widow of Richard Tremenet 
(DCNQ, 20: 294).
