  Research Notes:

“Ricardus de Camvilla” donated “terciam partem decimarum...apud Hottoth” to Jumièges, for the souls of “uxoris mee Adelicie et sequentis uxoris mee Milesente...Rogeri fratris mei”, by charter dated [5 Apr 1170/27 Mar 1171], subscribed by “Ricardi filii mei...”. An undated writ dated "56 Hen III", after the death of "Hugh son of James Wake", records that "King Richard enfeoffed Richard de Kaunville of [Benham] manor [Berkshire], who died in the Holy Land and John his son died in England without heir of his body", that "Gerard the elder brother of the said Richard intruded upon the manor, but the king…delivered it to Hugh Wake". The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, dated to [1208/10]: "Ricardus de Kamvill" held "Olmere, sed caput est alibi". The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Somerset and Dorset, dated 1219, which includes "heres Ricardi de Kanvill…in custodia W. comitis Saresberie" holding land "in hundredo de Horethorn" in Somerset.

The primary source which confirms the name of Richard’s wife has not been identified. ¹
