Chudleigh died some time between June 1401 and November 1402, and was succeeded by his son James (knight of the shire for Devon in 1426, 1429 and 1431). His widow married Sir Philip Courtenay’s son John, and her dower lands were the subject of the Courtenays’ quarrel with Chudleigh’s daughter, Joan, and her third husband, Sir Thomas Pomeroy*. It is some indication of Chudleigh’s standing that his daughter had earlier been married successively to Sir John St. Aubyn and Sir Philip Bryan†, a papal dispensation for the latter marriage having been granted to heal ‘wars and discencions’ between Chudleigh and Guy, Lord Bryan, the young man’s influential father.5

Comments

His mother was most likely Joan Champernon, 3rd wife & surviving widow of James Chudleigh (d 1402), who did not marry Joan Merton.

From HOP: “Vivian, Vis. Devon, 38, 65, 162, 189; Reg. Brantingham, 449; E.B. Powley, House of de la Pomerai, 1, 63, 67; N. and Q. viii. 225. Vivian (189) gives as Chudleigh’s 3rd w. Joan, da. and h. of Sir Richard Merton, wid. of John Bampfield, but she was m. to Sir John Pomeroy* and lived on until 1420.“
