There are two alternate lines upward from the Beauchamp that married a Godolphin: This one, which asserts a Beauchamp line hiding out in Cornwall (founded by a little (or un) known son of Hugh's son Peganus) since the time of the Conquerer and another one, that has the bride coming from a better known line in England. After running this one out I'm leaning toward the other. The Cornwall churches kept great records. These Beauchamp records don't have the detail the others do. They don't feel right. Undoubtedly the line comes from the original Hugh- the Godolfin heir wouldn't have married an ersatz Beauchamp. But I'm not sure this is it. The line up through the Godolphin/Beauchamp marriage is solid, as is the upper Godolphin side.

Lord of Bedford. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…,” by undated charter dated to [1150]. “Ricardus de Bellocampo” donated "ecclesiam de Lamerseia" to Colne Priory, Essex, with the consent of "Adelinæ uxoris meæ," by undated charter, witnessed by "Pagano de Bellocampo, Stephano et Waltero de Bellocampo." “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois….” m (after 1144) as her second husband, ROHESE de Vere, widow of GEOFFREY de Mandeville Earl of Essex, daughter of AUBREY de Vere, Chamberlain of England & his wife Adelisa de Clare ([1105/10]-after 1166, bur Chicksand Priory). “G de Magnavilla et Roeisa uxor eius” donated property to Hurley Priory, Berkshire by undated charter. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…,” by undated charter dated to [1150]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois…."

If this is correct, the absence of the couple’s known son Simon suggests that Helen must have been their oldest suriviving child.] (b) SIMON de Beauchamp (-1207).
