Sheriff of Hereford & Glamorganshire - Keeper of Caerphilly Castle.

-------------------

Burke's Peerage on Chandos-previous creations:

In 1337 Sir Roger de Chaundos, of a family from the Herefordshire-Shropshire borders, 
was called to Parliament by writ, thus being created Lord (Baron) Chaundos according 
to later doctrine, although none of his successors were ever called to Parliament 
under this title. Candos, of which both Chaundos and Chandos appear to be 
corruptions, is in Normandy, some 10 miles northwest of Rouen. (The famous Garter 
Knight Sir John Chaundos was of a different family, settled in Derbyshire) On the death 
in 1428 of Roger's grandson Sir John, any peerage created by the writ of 1337 would 
have fallen into abeyance, though within 30 years this abeyance would have been 
terminated by the death of the only other coheir and the notional Barony would have 
become vested in Sir John's great-nephew Giles Brugge.
