Sir John Chidiok [1401–1450]

Born and baptised at Chideock, Dorset, 1 November 1401. Son and heir of Sir John Chidiok [d. 1415] and Alianore FitzWarin [d. 1433]. Came of age in 1423 and inherited the FitzPaen–Chidiok estates. Married Katherine de Lumley of the Neville–Lumley line before 1425, securing alliances in the northern peerage.

As Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset [1447–48], he served prominently in the west.

Died 6 March 1450; buried at Christ’s Minster Twynham [Christchurch Priory]. His co-heiresses, Katherine Stafford and Margaret Stourton, divided the long-held FitzPaen and Chidiok estates—setting up the eventual abeyance of the FitzPaen barony in the next generation.
