Biography

Richard Vyvian of Trevidren (Cornwall) was the son of Sir Raph Vivian and Katherine Ferrers. Richard was married to Constance, possible last name Peferell or Peverell. ^[1] In The visitation of the county of Cornwall, in the year 1620, the father of Constance is stated as James Peferell or Sir Hugh Peverell. The sons of Richard are listed as Hugh, John, and William. Footnotes state that Richards daughters were Jane, Isabella, and Deyones (Dionysia).

"The visitations of Cornwall: comprising the Heralds' visitations of 1530, 1573, & 1620" created by Vivian, J. L. (John Lambrick) 1830-1896 and the College of Arms (Great Britain), contains reproductions of the Herald's visits to Cornwall in addition to church and family records. A pedigree for the Vyvyans of Trevidren can be found on page 527 beginning with Ralph Vyvyan. ^[2]

Research Note: Richard Vyvian is indicated as having held lands in Trevenwyn (now possibly Trevennen, Wendron, Cornwall) of Josceus de Dynham, Inq p. m. 29 Edw I. No. 56 (ob 16 Nov 1331). He may also have paid Lay Subsidies - 1 Edw I. (Source confirmation needed here.)

In November 1328, Richard, his 2 sons, and others were excommunicated from the church by Bishop Grandisson at St Michaels Mount with regards to an assault against Prior Richard Baupre in St Buryon.
