Summary

Description
English: detail from monument in Pilton Church, Devon, to Sir John Chichester (d.1569), of Raleigh, Pilton. In a strapwork escutcheon are show the following arms: Argent, two bars gules in chief three torteaux (de Moels/Mules) impaling Sable three lions rampant argent (Prouse). Roger de Moels (d.1323) of Lustleigh, Devon, assumed by The Complete Peerage to have been a younger brother of w:John de Moels, 1st Baron Moels (1269–1310) of North Cadbury in Somerset and of King's Carswell in Devon (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.IX, p.5, note (c)), married Alice Prouse (1286-1335), daughter and heiress of William Prouse of Gidleigh Castle and of Lustleigh in Devon. Their daughter and heiress was Johanna de Moels, the wife of John Wotton of Widworthy. Their son was John Wotton, who married Engaret Dymock, daughter and heiress of Walter Dymock, whose daughter and co-heiress was Alice Wotton, wife of Sir John Chichester (1385-1437) of Raleigh.

Hence the Chichester family quartered Prouse, Moels, Wotton and Dymock, as can be seen on the escutcheon of 15 quarterings in Pilton Church and also in Bishop's Tawton Church, on a monument to the Chichester of Hall family. The "Mules" family (which claimed descent from de Moels of North Cadbury and used the same arms) held Ernsborough in the parish of Swimbridge, North Devon. Sir John Mules of Ernsborough (alias Hernesburgh, Yernesburgh, Irishborough, etc (Thorn, Caroline & Frank, (eds.) Domesday Book, (Morris, John, gen.ed.) Vol. 9, Devon, Parts 1 & 2, Phillimore Press, Chichester, 1985, Part 2 (notes), 2:11)) shortly before 1422 built the north aisle of Swimbridge Church and endowed it with his estate of Furse (Source: Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.324)
