GENERATION 5

10. ALEXANDER CHAMPERNOUN. According to the 1422 IPM of his cousin, Otho 
Champernoun, he was aged 40 or more and the son of Richard, son of Thomas, thus 
was born in or before 1382. In 1405, Alexander Champernoun and Joan, his wife, and 
the heirs of Joan's sisters, sued for the manors of Beer Ferrers, Newton Ferrers and 
other lands in Devon and Cornwall (De Banco Plea Rolls, Easter Term, 6 Hen IV, m. 
308). In Feb 1416/7, Alexander Champernoun, esq., Sir John Cornwall, and Thomas 
Bonville, esq. presented to Beer Ferrers. In 1418, John Cornwall, Knt., sued Alexander 
Champernoun, armiger, for the next presentation to the church of Newton Ferrers (De 
Banco Plea Rolls, Hillary Term, 6 Hen. V, m. 415). Cornwall lost and in Feb 1418/9, 
Alexander alone presented to Newton Ferrers (Stafford, p. 145, 149). He 
unsuccessfully disputed the claim of his nephew, Richard, to succeed, despite 
showing that his father had devised Ashton Rohant to the younger Richard and the 
heirs of his body (VCH, Oxford, 8: 21). He died 30 June 1441 (IPM, 21 Hen. VI, no. 
19) and was buried in the Church of St. Andrew at Beer Ferrers (so stated in the will of 
his son John).
By Nov 1384 he was married to Joan, daughter of Martin Ferrers and heiress to Beer 
Ferrers (Cal. Close Rolls, 1381-5: 587-588).

Children:
15. Roger Champernoun.
