Richard Reynell, of Pyttney

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynell_(surname)]

Sir Richard Reynell, of Pyttney (or Peteneya) Co. Somerset, lived in the reigns of Henry II and Richard I. During the absence of King Richard in the Holy Land, he had custody of the castles of Exeter and Launceston from 1191. He defended these castles against John, Earl of Moreton, the King's brother, who in the King's absence endeavoured to usurp his power. On the death of Richard and the accession of John, Richard was deprived of the estates at Pyttney. Sir Richard's son recovered the lands and became the Earl of Devon.

King John restored to Sir Richard of Pyttney the lands of his father, also Sir Richard, on condition that he should serve him "with horse and armour" for one year (ref. deed dated at Bined, 27 July 1214, a copy of which is in the Harleian MSS. No. 1195).
