Dear Cassie, I find in my Burke Dormant and Extinct Peerages:

Sir HUGH de COURTENAY, as 3rd Baron Of Okehampton, m. Alianora, dau of HUGH
DESPENCER (father of Hugh, Earl of Winchester), by whom (who d. 11 Oct 1328)
he had issue,
HUGH (Sir) his successor
PHILIP (Sir) fell at the battle of Shivelin, 24 Jun 1314
ISABEL m. John ST JOHN Baron St John, of Basing
AVELINE m. Sir JOHN GIFFORD Knt.
EGELINE m. Robert SCALES
MARGARET m. John de MOELS

I will look for something else for you but can't do it right now. My line
comes this way also but through John GIFFORD and John de MOELS.

Sandy
