Notes for Sir John Cornwall Lord Fanhope
m. (1) Philippa de Arundel, widow of Sir Richard Sergeaux.

St John Hope in his "Garter Stall Plates" recounts that he was 'son and heir of Sir John Cornwall by a niece of the duke of Brittany,  and descended from an illegitimate son of Richard earl of Cornwall and king of the Romans.  His arms are there those of the earl of Cornwall duly differenced...'

Having found this, it is interesting to see that CP in a note (V, 253, (d)) addes:
'This Sir John (the elder [father of the ld Fanhope]) was 3rd s. of Sir Richard Cornwall, usually spoked of as "Baron of Burford", who was s. and h. of Sir Geoffrey Cornwall, by Margaret d. and coh. of Hugh de Mortimer, Lord of the Manor of Burford.  A good account of these "barons of Burford" is in Marshall's genealogist, vols iii and iv, as also in The House of Cornwall, 1908, by the earl of Liverpool and Compton Reade.  G.E.C. and V.G.'
