The Valletort or Vautort family was an interesting one. I don't know their source, but in 
the 12th century they held the Honor of Tremanton in Cornwall and also acquired the 
Honor of Harberton in Devon which was formerly held by the Nonants. Roger Valletort, 
lord of Tremanton and Harberton died in 1207, leaving three sons and two daughters. 
The sons were sucessively lords of Tremanton and Harberton: Reginald who d. 1246, 
Ralph d. 1256 and was succeeded by his son Reginald who d. 1270, and Roger who 
d. 1275. The Valletort inheritance should have gone then to the sisters, Joan, wife of 
Henry de Pomeroy and Isabell, wife of Thomas Corbet, but were insead taken by the 
crown. John Lelands "Itinerary" says that he had heard that the lands were taken 
because of murder to which the Valletorts were party. This may have been a trumped 
up charge because Joan, widow of Reginald Valletort, who had m. Alexander de 
Oxeton, and was mistress of the king's brother, also wanted the land. In 1276 Joan 
Oxeton held the manors of Modbury, Brideford, and certain lands in Harberton"that 
belonged to Roger de Valle Torte and now to the King while the ward of the Valle 
Torta is in the hands of the King". Henry de Pomeroy, Joan Valletorte's grandson, got 
part of the family lands when he came of age in 1303. The Corbetts and the Oxetons 
also got portions of it. Tax rolls of 1313 show Henery de Pomeroy, Peter Corbett, and 
Alexander Oxeton all holding land in Harberton, Cheveryston and Pole. In 1338 Sir 
Henry de Pomeroy gave up his claim to the Valletort lands in Cornwall in favor of the 
king and his son, Edward Prince of Cornwall.

Note: Many sources have Joan, the mistress of Richard Earl of Cornwall, as widow of 
Reginald de Valletort, but John Carmi Parsons states that she was widow of Ralph de 
Valletort, while Joan Basset married Ralph's older brother Reginald. See notes under 
Joan, wife of Ralph de Valletort.
