Dionisia Champernon

Vivian (p. 160) states he married Dionisia, daughter of Gilbert and sister and coheiress of Sir Robert English or Engloiz, of Stokeley. He was certainly married to a Dionisia by June 1249 who survived her husband as Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi when, in March 1284, she presented Oliver de Campo Arnulphi, subdeacon, presumably their son, as rector of Jacobstowe (Bronescombe, p. 347).

Stockeley-Engles (Stockleigh-English) was in possession of her grandson, Henry, who presented to the church in April 1312.

Children of Henry Champernowne and Dionysia English:

• 1. Sir William de Champernoun, m. Joan.
• 2. Sir Richard de Champernoun, m. Joan. See CHAMPERNOUN OF MODBURY.
• 3. Oliver de Champernoun. As a subdeacon, he was presented as rector of Jacobstowe, co. Cornwall by Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi in March 1284 (Bronescombe, p. 347). The relationship is unstated though it seems likely Dame Dionisia was presenting one of her younger sons.
