Sir John Chidiok II [c. 1348 – 30 Jun 1390] married Joan de Seint Loe, elder daughter and co-heiress of Sir John de Seint Loe [by Alice de Paveley].
Through her the Chidioks acquired a share of the Seint Loe–Paveley inheritances in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire [Westbury, Hilperton, Clifton].
He died in 1390; his widow held her purparty and later married John Bache of Little Crichel, who died 1409.
Their son Sir John Chidiok III [b. c. 1375] succeeded aged about 15 and was confirmed in possession of his lands in 1409.
> Relevance to the Verified FitzPaen Descent
Page 457 demonstrates the FitzPaen bloodline thriving in the Chidiok descendants for two more generations.
By the 1390s the family had blended the old FitzPaen manors of Somerset and Dorset with the Seint Loe–Paveley estates of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, forming a broad West-Country power base.
This continuity represents the final active line before the Barony of FitzPaen slipped into abeyance around 1400.

> Clean Reconstruction
Sir John Chidiok [the younger] [b. ~1374 – d. 25/28 Sep 1415], heir of the Chidiok–FitzPayn estates, represented Dorset in Parliament [1414] and was married to Alianore FitzWarin, sole heir of the FitzWarin and Argentein lines of Dorset, Somerset, and East Anglia.
He died during the campaign in Normandy, likely at Harfleur, in the retinue of Henry V. His will was proved shortly afterward. His son, John Chidiok [aged 14 in 1415], succeeded him as heir.
The inheritance combined the former FitzPayn manors [Chidiok, Chelborough, Allownshay, Frampton-on-Severn, etc.] with FitzWarin–Argentein holdings [Caundle Haddon, Up Cerne, Isle Brewers, Pitney, Wymondley, and Ketteringham].
> Relevance to the Verified FitzPaen Descent
Page 458 continues the FitzPayn line through Isabel FitzPaen’s descendants, solidifying the transition of the Somerset–Dorset estates into the Chidiok–FitzWarin family.
The record shows how the male FitzPayn barony had ended, but the bloodline and much of the property persisted under new names — a fusion of FitzPayn, Chidiok, FitzWarin, and Argentein, linking the old Marcher barony to broader English gentry by the early 15th century.
