'Reginald de Cobham, 1st Baron Cobham', KG, was born about 1295, the son of Sir Reginald de Cobham by Joan, the daughter and heir of William de Evere. This Reginald was the second son of John de Cobham, by his first wife Joan the daughter of William Fitzbenedict. Reginald married Joan Berkeley, by whom he could claim to be related to the great and noble families of Sutton: Dudley, Beauchamp, De Despencer and Mortimer. The Cobham family, however, were well connected to the ruling families of England in their own right. He died in 1361.
