    • Biography

      Birth
      Born: About 1359.

      Age 10 in the September 1369 IPM of her brother.

      Property

      Manor of Little Kimble

      "The Moels rarely claimed the whole of Little Kimble. In 1284–6 (fn. 19) and 1302–3 Roger de Moels and John de Moels (fn. 20) were joint overlords with the Russels. John de Moels died seised before 1310 of half the hamlet of Kimble; (fn. 21) his grandson*, however, another John, held the overlordship of one knight's fee in Kimble at the time of his death. (fn. 22) He left two daughters, the elder of whom inherited Little Kimble in 1338. (fn. 23) She was the wife of Sir Thomas Courtenay, (fn. 24) and their daughter and heiress Muriel married John Dinham. (fn. 25) Shortly after this the sub-tenancy of part of Little Kimble appears to have lapsed, and thus the Dinhams, who succeeded the Moels, became the tenants in demesne of their manor.
      Sir John Dinham died in 1457–8 seised of the manors of Eythorpe, Crendwell, and Little Kimble, held of Edward, Prince of Wales, as of the honour of Wallingford, by right of inheritance of Joan his wife, who survived him. (fn. 26) His wife was the heiress of the Darches family, (fn. 27) who had held the two first-named manors, and probably part of Little Kimble, (fn. 28) as subtenants, but presumably Sir John's right in the manor came also through his great-grandmother, Muriel de Moels."[1]

      Burial
      Burial:
      Place: Hartland Abbey, Devonshire, England
      Note: reference e-mail of March 1, 2008 from Hartland Abbey owner Hugh Stucley (family owners since early 19th century) (shgs1@btconnect.com) to Alton Rogers states: "As far as I know, no one is interred in Hartland Abbey - it is more likely they would have been buried at St. Nectan's which is the parish church for Hartland." St. Nectan is known as "The Cathedral of North Devon." (http.www.hartlandabbey.com) Mr. Stucley also noted the availability of a reissued 1940 book titled "The Book of Hartland" which is available from tearooms at Hartland Abbey with the book having a full chapter on the Dynham family with mentions of the Courtenays.
