Richard Prideaux formerly Pridias aka Pridyas, de Pridyas Born about 1180 in Cornwall Ancestors Son of Richard (Pridias) Prideaux and [mother unknown] [sibling%28s%29 unknown]

"Richard de Pridias Lord of Prideaux witnessed a charter sometime between 1230 and 1240, by which Odo, son of Walter de Treverbyn granted certain lands to the Priory of Tywardreath. Treverbyn is a manor to the west of Luxulyan and Prideaux and these families would be joined in marriage at a later date. "Richard had three sons, Baldwin, Reginald and Geoffrey.... "Humphrey Prideaux states that the grandson of Nicholas was called Baldwin and not Richard and that this Baldwin was the father of Geoffrey and Reginald [aka Reynolds] He says that Baldwin married Elizabeth, daughter of Roger Mortimer who died in 1215 and Isabella de Ferrers who died in 1252. "'A View of Devonshire' states that he was called Richard as above and married the daughter of the first Earl of March. "Roger Mortimer was the son of Hugh Mortimer; the founder of Wigmore Abbey. Their lines married into those of Llewellyn the Great, the Prince of Wales and were ancestors of Roger Mortimer who ruled England with Queen Isabella before his execution. Eventually the Mortimers were created Earls of March.... "It may be that Richard [de Pridias] was known as both Richard and Baldwin after his ancestors, which was a common practice. After studying the records I call this man Richard and his sons , Baldwin, Reginald and Geoffrey.
