Philippe Arundel was the daughter and co-heiress of Edmund de Arundel, Knt., and Sibyl de Montagu.^[1][2] Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated.

Philippe married first to Richard Sergeaux^[2] (or Chergeaux), son and heir of Sir Richard Sergeaux and Margaret Seneschal, before 1371.^[1] Philippe was Richard's second wife, he had been married previously to Elizabeth de Bodrugan, with whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth.^[1]

Philippe and Richard had one son and four daughters:

• Philippa, married Robert Pashely, Knt.^[1][3]
• Alice, married first to Richard Vere, K.G., 11th Earl of Oxford and second to Nicholas Thorley, Knt.^[1][3]

Inquisitions Post Mortem by writ 18 October 1399 at Cornwall and Oxford. Her heirs were her daughters Elizabeth, Philippa, Alice and Joan.^[5]

Research Notes

In 1396 and 1396/7, Philippe, the widow of Sir Richard Sergeaux, daughter and one of the heirs of Sir Edmund Darundell, knight, had quitclaimed all lands etc., sometime of Richard, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, deceased, except specified manors in Sussex, which her husband had given to the present earl in exchange for the manor of Chipping Norton [Cal. Close Rolls, 1396-99, pp.72, 84]. On 20 April 1399, the manor of Chipping Norton, as held by Richard, late Earl of Arundel, was granted to Sir John Cornewaille and Philippe his wife [Cal. Patent Rolls, 1393-99, p.516]. The inquisitions taken after Philippe's death, 24 January and 24 March 1399/1400, according to which she died 13 September 1399, do not mention that she was the wife of Sir John Cornwall, but the Oxfordshire inquisition states that she held the manor of Chipping Norton of the king in chief, confirming her identity with the Philippe mentioned in the patent roll [Cal. Inq. p.m., vol.18, nos 31, 33].^[4]
