Dear Bruce,
Richard le Charpentier born about 1275/80??? and related to Edward and
John le Carpentier? Brothers as you suggested of Jean le Carpentier?
Where did the 1305 date come from?
Does this lineage seem about right?
Richard le Charpentier b. abt 1275/1280 related to Edward & John?

Renaud or Richard le Carpentier b. abt 1307 the "bruer or brewer?"
|
Phillip Carpenter b. abt 1329 the "bruer or brewer?"

The following, dated 1305, shows how the merchant
Carpenters were in business with King Edward and shared merchant
ventures with him. The others named in this document all
seem English which suggests an English origin of the named
vessel. From London to Gascony, Spain or Italy? The named
Richard le Charpenter should be a close relative of London
Edward le Charpenter and others at that time.
"The like to Henry (sic) de Staunton, Roger de Suthcote and Hugh Reverel,
on complaint by William le Poer, coroner in the islands of Sullye which
belong to the county of Cornwall, that whereas he went to
le Vale and Trescau in those islands to enquire touching homicides and other
felonies, and to do other things pertaining to his office, and wanted to
take charge
of a wreck of the sea in the town of Trascau which happened at that time
and belonged to the king, Robert sage, Henry Sage, Robert de Hencastle,
Walter his son, Richard le Charpenter...."
