Notes for Richard FitzJohn Lord FitzJohn
Only the CofA and L van Pas have this chap as existing... They both think he was the father of Maud. Ronny Bodine thinks Maud is the brother of Richard. Everyone else thinks he did not exist...
If he did exist he must have married at the age of 16 and given birth as his father was born in 1208 and his daughter in c.1244 or 1250. This gives a max of 42 years amd a min of 36 years for two generations.
Sep 2000: CP has it all and has had for forty years and more. He did exist and was brother to Maud and three other sisters. He was summoned to parliament as a peer in 1290, the one and only baron of this family.
