Sir Alan Scudamore (a 1090)

m. Jane Ketchmey (dau of Sir Alexander Ketchmey or Catchmay of Troy & Bigsweir or Bigswear)

Sir Titus Scudamore of Troy & Bigsweir

m. Joyce de Clifford

(1) BLG1952 identifies Joyce's father as 1st Baron de Clifford whilst Commoners identifies him as Sir Robert Clifford, Lord of Clifford. However, no parliamentary Lord was created until about 150 years after this generation whilst no Robert de Clifford of Clifford appears on Clifford01 around this time.
(2) There are significant differences between the ways that the next few generations are reported by Commoners and BLG1952. We follow the latter on the assumption that it is based on more recent research but report by note what Commoners reported not least in case some of the additional information provided (eg on the wives) is relevant.

Sir Wilcock Scudamore named by Commoners, BLG1952 merely mentions that Sir Titus had another son

m. Eleanor Trowhek (dau of Sir Brian Trowhek)
