=== Life Sketch ===
Sir Henry de Bodrugan (c.1263-1308) was a Cornish landowner, knight and politician.
Family
Bodrugan was the son and heir of Sir Roger de Bodrugan (d. 1277) by Isolda (d.1311), later wife of Sir Henry de Pomeroy (d. 1281) and Sir Walter de Aylesbury, daughter of Symon de Pyn. Isolda's great uncle was the Seneschal and High Sheriff of Cornwall, Sir Stephen Haym, one of the founding canons of Glasney College.
When his father died Henry was still under aged and his wardship went to Sir William de Alneto. On 19 May 1277 Henry's wardship was purchased by his uncle, William Bodrugan, later Provost of Glasney, and Archdeacon of Cornwall. Henry became the heir of both his uncle, William, and his great uncle, Reginald.
In 1287 he married Sybil de Mandeville (29 September 1264-1307) daughter of an unknown Mandeville and his wife Alice Giffard. Sybil's grandparents were Hugh Giffard and Sibyl, daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Cormeilles. From 1239 until his death in 1246 Hugh was responsible for raising the young prince, later King, Edward I. Sybil's maternal uncles were the Lord Chancellors of England, Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York, and Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester. Her aunt Mabel was the Abbess of Shaftesbury Abbey. Sybil was the widow of Peter le Poer (d. 4 April 1283), likely related to Eustace le Poer who, together with Thomas de Mandeville, brought an army from Ireland to Scotland to fight for Edward I of England. Sybil was lady of the Queen's chamber to Eleanor of Castile and her children were still with the Queen's children in 1289–90. She was buried in Glasney College and her son Sir Otto paid for the Bodrugan Chantry to be built there in his parents' honour.
Henry and Sybil had two children:
1.) Otto, married Margaret Champernowne (d. 1360).
2.) Joan (b. 1285), married Sir Henry Champernowne.
These children and their spouses feature heavily in the novel The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier.
Landowner
His principal residence appears to have been at Bodrugan, near Goran, with others at Pendrym and Tregrehan. At his death he owned the manors of Bodrugan, Pendrym, Trethem, Tretheak, Treworrick, Tremodret, Trevellion, Tregrehan, Trethew and Lantyan Parva. The large manor of Restronguet was held by his mother, who did not die until 1311. Henry had already given away the manor of Trelawne to his daughter on her marriage. The manor of Markwell, which belonged to his uncle William, was given to William's illegitimate daughter, but eventually returned to Henry's son Otto. In addition to these manors he held other lands and tenements across Cornwall.
He held some property in Ireland through his wife who was named heir to her brother Walter in 1288. The Mandevilles were important sub-tenants of the earldom of Ulster and, between 1300 and 1304, Edward I issued numerous letters of nomination for Henry's attorneys in Ireland (his brothers John and Peter, and John le Fugheler). In 1305 John le Poer, baron of Doneyl in Waterford, and Sibyl's son by her first marriage, was found owing Henry £200. The sheriff of Waterford was commanded by the king to levy £50 of the lands and chattels of John le Poer of the £200. Through her brother he also came to hold 1/6 of the manor of Luton, Bedfordshire which Walter had exchanged for portions of the manors of Eltham, Woolwich and Mottingham. When Sybil died these Mandeville estates passed to her son by her first marriage.
Political career
He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Cornwall in 1307. In 1284 he was one of the Justices of Assize for Cornwall, and in 1302 he was a juror at the assizes. In 1309, months after his death, he was summoned to parliament as a baron. As he could not sit in that parliament his descendants were unable to claim the title of baron.
Military career
In 1286 Henry joined Edward I on an expedition to Gascony. In April he was given permission to go "beyond the seas" for one year with Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Edmund Crouchback and others. After sailing to northern France in mid-May they reached Gascony by August. Henry was knighted by 1289, perhaps as a result of his participation in the expedition. As there is no record of him serving in Wales, he was probably part of the 1294 expedition to Gascony with John of Brittany and William Latymer. From 1300 Henry became involved in Edward's Scottish wars, his coat of arms is features as No. 227 in the Galloway Roll. In September 1302 the king issued a pardon to Henry's retinue, his younger brothers Peter and John, Adam de Markwell (married to Henry's uncle's illegitimate daughter), Serlo Wyse and John le Fugheler for crimes they had committed "in consideration of their service in Gascony and Scotland". The crimes were the retaliatory measures the men had taken after Henry was attacked by Thomas Lercedekne and Ralph de Bloyou at the house of William Bloyou at Glasney.

Note: There are 33 pages of Charts of the Cole Family and the collateral lines drawn from the original Cole Pedigree dated 1585. This is copied from the original Roll, in the possession of the Right Honourable the Earl of Enniskillen.
This information was compiled by Sir William Segar, Garter in 1630, referencing the family of Thomas Cole who compiled the Escheats. William Segar, Garter was the Principall King of Armes. Wikipedia: Sir William Segar (c. 1554–1633) was a portrait painter and officer of arms to the court of Elizabeth I of England; he became Garter King of Arms under James I. He had the responsibility of granting coats of arms to noble families.
THE PEDIGREE AS IT RELATES TO THE BODRUGAN FAMILY CONTAINS ERRORS. Firstly, it incorrectly shows that Henry Bodrugan the son of Otto, and his wife Isabelle Whalesborough, had 3 sons: William, Otto & Nicholas. This is wrong. the 3 sons were in fact his brothers. Henry died, aged 20, leaving no issue, his next heir being his brother William. This is evident from Henry's IPM. Secondly, the pedigree conflates William the bastard son of Otto Bodrugan with William Bodrugan the son of Ralph Treneweth. This is an unreliable source in so far at it relates to the Bodrugan family.

Note: Marie Rosewarne added this note below in all caps. The IPMs, or Inquisitions Post Mortem, provide a lot of information on this family, and this is in regard to her opinion and interpretation of some IPMs. It should be noted that they are not always 100% correct, i.e. the birth dates or ages of children in the Sergeaux family vary widely in each of a half dozen IPM's. They are also subject to interpretation since several men of the same name are alive in the same century, and keeping the generations apart can be confusing. Marie disagrees with some of the generations within the Cole Family Pedigree Charts which were assembled from heraldic Visitation pedigrees. (She has altered my "Notes" in sources and deleted many of the IPM's I have attached in the tree.) Personally, I believe all sources should be attached, and comments made about them in an effort to share information and collaborate. Maybe she just used all caps to distinguish her note from the quoted text.
THIS SOURCE IS INCORRECT IN STATING THAT NICHOLAS BODRUGAN WAS THE SON OF HENRY BODRUGAN AND ISABELLA WHALESBOROUGH. HENRY DIED, AGED 20, LEAVING NO HEIRS AS IS MADE CLEAR IN HIS IPM. HIS NEXT HEIR WAS HIS BROTHER WILLIAM. NICHOLAS WAS ANOTHER BROTHER OF HENRY AND SON OF OTTO.
Cole ancestry begins on page 618.
"Family histories and genealogies" provides the family information for the Bodrugan family. Henry de Bodrugan "married Sibylla, sister and heir to Walter de Maundeville. Henry was a knight of the shire in the 35th year of Edward I [1307]; and in the 3rd year of Edward II (1310) he was summonded to Parliament as a Baron, but died about this time. He was seised of the manor of Tregerion, etc., in Cornwall. His son Sir Otto de Bodrigan was in the 17th year of Edward II. a knight of the shire [1324]; in 1324 he went by the King's license on a religious pilgrimage to Spain. He married Margaret daughter of Sir William Champernon, Knt.
