de rL-iufs. his manor of Clifton Camville, with the advowson 

 of tile churcli of Clifton. (Belvoir Chart.) On the Patent Roll 

 :; Edward 111. is a grant and confirmation for the manor of 

 Lanstephen, in Carmarthenshire, to Matilda, formerly the wife 

 ui Ric. de W-rnon, and Eleanor, her sister, daughters and 

 heiresses of William de Camville. 



Richard Vernon, who died in the lifetime of his father, left 

 a son and heir, William de Vernon, born 1314 (/rn/. p. in. 

 taken at Bakewell 16 Edward II.), who succeeded his grand- 

 father, Richard. 



William de Vernun was succeeded by his son and heir. 



Sir Richard de Vernon, Knt., who seems to have been a 

 warrior from the records preserved at Belvoir, and other evidence. 

 One of these records is an indenture in Norman-French, dated 

 '35 7' '^^' which he assigns to his trustees, Ric. de Leycester, 

 John de Alrewas, John de Osmonderlowe, Nic. St. Piere, chap- 

 lain, Rauf de Parys, chaplain, and John Wolf, chaplain, his 

 manor of Haddon, prior to proceeding to the Holy Land, 

 reserving to himself a right of re-entry if he leturned to England, 

 otherwise he directs that his trustees shall enfeoff the said 

 manor to his heir, failing which, to Sir Aherey de Sulney, and 

 his heirs for ever. 



Sir Richard Vernon evidently returned to England from the 

 Holy Land, as appears from another deed uf later date, also in 

 Xorman-French, reciting " That Sir Richard de Vernon is to go 

 across the sea into Gascony in the service of our Lord the King 

 (Edward 111.), and of his return the certain time cannot be 

 known, but at the will of God," and by which he settles his 

 manor of Pichecote (Bucks.), together with the advowson of the 

 church there, upon trustees, on condition that if he die without 

 an heir before his return to England, that then the said trustees 

 shall found a chantry of two chaplains of the said manor, per- 

 petually chanting in the said church of Pichecote, and the chapel 

 nf Herlaston (Staff.), for the soul of the said Richard, and for 

 the souls of his ancestors and of all Christian jjeople, in the 

 first two years next after the death of the said Sir Richard.
