      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “REYNOLD DE MOHUN, Knt., of Dunster, Somerset, Tunworth, Hampshire, Whichford, Warwickshire, etc., 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir, born about 1183 (came of age in 1204). He married ALICE BRIWERRE (or BREWER), daughter and of William Briwerre, Knt., of Bridgwater, Somerset, Horsley, Derbyshire, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, etc., Sheriff of Devon, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, and Derbyshire, by Beatrice de Valle (or de Vaux) [see BRIWERRE 3 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Reynold, Knt., William, Baldwin (clerk), and Richard. He was granted seisin of the manor of Whichford, Warwickshire in 1204. He assisted in the invasion of France in 1206 and accompanied King John to Ireland in 1210. In 1208 he established his right to the mesne lordship of a fee at Brinkley, Cambridgeshire as heir of Godehilde his grandmother. SIR REYNOLD DE MOHUN died in 1213. His widow, Alice, was granted the land of Walter de Ashley in Whichford, Warwickshire for her maintenance in Dec. 1215. Alice married (2nd) before 1224 WILLIAM PAYNEL, of Bampton and Uffculme, Devon, and Huntspill, Somerset. In 1227-8 he started out on his pilgrimage into the Holy Land; in his absence, the king ordered that his wife, Alice, and Hugh de Samford have full seisin of his manor of Bampton, Devon. WILLIAM PAYNEL died shortly before 18 Nov. 1228, when the king granted custody of his land and heir to Herbert Fitz Matthew. His widow, Alice, was co-heiress in 1233 to her brother, William Briwerre, by which she inherited the manors of Axminister, Bradworthy, Cadleigh, Helboton, Oakford, Tor Mohun, and Ughborough, Devon, and Isle Brewers, Somerset. She was living in 1239-40 (date of fine).
