He married ELEANOR FITZ REYNOLD, daughter of Reynold Fitz Peter, Knt., lord of Blaenlyfni (in Cathedine), Breconshire, Bedhampton, North Oakley, Tadley, and Wolverton, Hampshire, etc., by his let wife, Alice [see FITZ HERBERT 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt. [1st Lord Mohun]. In 1273 Joan de Reygni arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Carhampton, Somerset. JOHN DE MOHUN died testate 11 June 1279. In 1280 William de Pleybire sued his widow, Eleanor, John de Mohun, Robert de Mohun, and the Prior of Bruton, executors of John de Mohun, on a plea that they restore to him chattels to the value of 20 marks. In 1281 Aumary de Saint Arnand was granted custody of lands out of the of Whichford, Warwickshire to the value of £50 yearly, and lands out of the manor of Isle Brewers, Somerset to the value of 25 marks yearly, in satisfaction of a grant previously made to him of land to the value of 100 marks yearly out of the lands and tenements late of John de Mohun, lately deceased, to hold during the minority of the heirs of the said John de Mohun, together with a further grant of land to the value of £8 yearly in the said manor of Isle Brewers. His widow, Eleanor, married (2nd) before 1 Jan. 1281/2 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM MARTIN, Knt., 1st Lord Martin [see MARTIN 10], son and heir of Nicholas Fitz Martin, by Maud, daughter of Guy de Bryan [see MARTIN 9 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1257-8 (aged 25 in 1282, aged 50 and more in 1308). They had two sons, Edmund and William [2nd Lord Martin], and two daughters, Eleanor and Joan. He was summoned to serve in Wales in 1282 and 1283, in Gascony in 1295-97, and in Scotland in 1298, 1299, and 1300. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 24 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Willelmo Martyn, whereby he is held to have become Lord Martin. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. He joined in the Barons' Letter to the Pope in February 1301 as D'n's de Camesio [Lord of Kemeys]. In 1305 he was appointed a justice of Trailbaston. In March 1306 William Montague, of Devon, owed William and his wife, Eleanor, a debt of 26 marks. He married AMICE DE CAMVILLE, widow of Henry de Pomeroy, of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, and daughter of Geoffrey de Camville, Knt., 1st Lord Camville, by an unidentified 1st wife, [see MARTIN 9 for her parentage].
