HENRY DE CHAMBERNON, d. ca. 1210, of Ilfracombe, Devon; m. Rose (or Rohese), 
liv. 1237, app. dau. & h. Sir William de Tracy, b. say 1135, seen 1170, of Bradninch, 
Devon, one of the 4 murderers of Thomas a Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury, s. of 
WILLIAM DE TRACY (222-26), d. ca. 1135, lord of Bradninch, Devon. Rose m. (2) 
Robert de Sechevill (or Sacchville), d. ca. 1218, of Braunton, Cowley, Dunsford & 
Rewe, Devon. Rose was h. to Clistwick, Devon (Clyst St. George or Clist 
Champernowne). Manor previously the maritagium of Sir William de Tracy's wife, given 
name unknown. The lord of Bradninch held Clyst St. George of the Pomeroy family; so 
Sir William de Tracy's wife likely dau. of Henry de Pomeroy, seen 1156, lord of Berry 
Pomeroy, Devon, by ROHESE (195-26). Rohese was a sister of REGINALD FITZ ROY 
(121-26), Earl of Cornwall, a bastard son of King Henry I. Earl Reginald had several 
half-siblings by his mother, Sibyl Corbet's marriage to HERBERT FITZ HERBERT (262
-27); so likely Rohese de Pomeroy was a child of her mother's marriage to Herbert Fitz 
Herbert, because as her dau.'s husb. Sir William de Tracy, himself a gr.s. of King 
Henry I, would be his wife's 1st cousin if she were also Henry's grandchild. This 
previously undetected Tracy-Pomeroy match gives stong circumstantial evidence that 
King Henry I was not Rohese de Pomeroy's father. ('Book of Fees, Part I', pp. 97, 612

Roll Soc.', Vol 64 [or n.s., Vol. 26], pp. 167-168; George Oliver, 'Monasticon

GENERATION 2

4. HENRY de CHAMBERNUN. Henry is named as brother of Jordan de Chambernun in 
the Cartulary of Montebourg. In 1166 he was in possession of the family estates under 
the Honours of Barnstaple and Okehampton. He was lord of 1 fee under the Honour of 
Gloucester in 1201-1212 (Red Book of the Exchequer, p. 154) and in 1211-1212 (Red 
Book, p. 607). Henry appears to have died in 1211 or 1212, for Rose de Campo Ernulfi 
is also shown as holding 1 fee--probably the same--under Gloucester in 1210-1212 
(Red Book, p. 559).

He was married to Rose (or Rohese), living 1237, apparently daughter and heiress of 
Sir William de Tracy. Rose married 2ndly Robert de Sechevill (or Sacchville), died 
c1218, of Braunton, Cowley, Dunsford & Rewe, Devonshire. Rose was heiress to 
Clistwick, Devonshire (later Clist St. George or Clist Champernowne), this manor being 
previously the maritagium of Sir William de Tracy's wife. In 1237 Rose was holding as 
dower from her late husband the manor of Rewe (Book of Fees, p. 612).
