He married (1st) after 8 Nov. 1227 HAWISE FITZ GEOFFREY, daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium apparently included the manor of Streadey, Berkshire. He had license in 1233 to cut oaks in his wood at Tymeworth for his house at Streadey, Berkshire. They had one son, John, and three daughters, Alice, Juliane (wife of William de Lisle), and Lucy. He accompanied King Henry III to France in 1230 and to Wales in 1231. His wife, Hawise, died before 1243. He married (2nd) in or before 1243 (without license) ISABEL DE FERRERS, widow of Gilbert Basset, of Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Greywelt, Hampshire, etc., and daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby, by Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, William and [Master] James [parson of Brompton, Yorkshire]. His wife, Isabel, was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. In 1246 he gave the manor of Axminster, Devon to his foundation of Newenham Abbey, Devon. Sometime in or after 1254, he made a grant to the convent of Bath for the soul of his son, John, lately dead, and other relatives. He was also a benefactor to the canons of Bruton and the abbey of Cleeve. He gave two charters to the townsmen of Dunster. SIR REYNOLD DE MOHUN died at Tor Mohun, Devon 20 Jan. 1257/8, and was buried at Newenham Abbey, Devon. His widow, Isabel, died 26 Nov. 1260.
