Notes for Alice (Spouse 1)
According to one source,3131 Alice had five husbands and was the mother of Elizabeth FitzRoger, wife of John Bonville:
“Early in the succeeding century Sir William [Bonville] married secondly Alice (whose surname has not been recovered), widow of Sir John Rodney, who died 19 Dec., 1400. Sir William Bonville was her fifth spouse, for she had wedded three husbands previous to Sir John Rodney. Firstly, John Fitz-Roger, lord of the manor of Chewton-Mendip, Somerset; by whom she had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married John Bonville, her last husband’s eldest son by his first wife; secondly, she married Sir Edmond de Clyvedon, of Clyvedon, Somerset, who died 13 Jany., 1375-6; and thirdly, as his second wife, Sir Ralph Carminow of Menheniot, Cornwall, who deceased 9 Oct., 1386.

Orate pro anima domini Radulphi Carmynon militis, cuius anime propirietur deus amen.
