Biography

Geoffrey de Camville of Llanstephan Castle, Carmarthenshire^[1]

Geoffrey de Camville was the son of William de Camville (who died before 25 Apr 1200) and his wife Albreda Marmion (who died after 1220).^[2]

"King John confirmed castellum et villam de Landesteph to G. de Camvill fil Will de Kamvill, naming Albred Marmion matre ipsius Gaufridi, by charter dated 25 Apr 1200."^[2]

Geoffrey married "firstly (divorced on grounds of consanguinity) FELICE, daughter of PHILIP de Worcester" and they had one son, Richard.^[3]

His second wife was Lleucu, granddaughter of William de Brewes (or Brause) and Maud de Saint Valery, and herself grandmother to Geoffrey de Camville, 1st Lord Camville, who with his son William "in the period 1293/1308 . . . wrote the King and Council regarding the lands of Cardagan of Owain ap Gruffudd 'whose heirs they were'".^[1] Geoffrey and Lucy's son, father of Geoffrey, 1st Lord Camville, was William de Camville, who married Lucy _____.^[1] William died before 29 Sep 1260.^[3]

Lleucu died in 1239; her husband died in 1219^[1] (before 20 Sep 1219).^[3]

"King Henry III granted to Lucy wife of the late Godfrey de Kanville of all the land in Ireland which William de Breouse her late grandfather gave with her in marriage to Godfrey and which the latter held when he died by charter dated 20 Sep 1219"^[3]

Research Notes

"Recent reserch has located evidence which indicates Lleuca was the daughter of Gruffudd ap Rhys (died 1201), Prince of South Wales, by his wife Maud (died 1210), daughter of William de Brewse III".^[1]

Cawley (Medieval Lands) notes that Leuca's parents are not known but could be a son or daughter of William III. His entry for Leuca includes the following:

"It is assumed that she died before 28 Aug 1236 when Henry III King of England restored to William de Canville son and heir of Geoffrey de Cannville the land of Fedemercum which Leuca mother of the said William held in dower of the gift of Geoffrey her husband".^[4]
