*****
Note that despite CP's assertion that he married "Isabel, da. of Sir Reynold de Mohun, of Dunster, Somerset, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, da. of William (de Ferrers), Earl of Derby," there is no clear evidence that this Isabel was the mother of his children. Moreover, Royal Ancestry doesn't even list an Isabel among the children of Reynold de Mohun and Elizabeth de Ferrers.
