Just to give a sketch from I. J. Sanders, _English Baronies_, a staple of
scholarly works covering this period, but not without fault, page 125:

1. The honour of Kempsford, Gloucs., was brought by Maud (daughter of Ernulf
de Hesding) to her husband Patrick I de Chaworth, both living 1133. They
had:

2. Patrick II de Chaworth (m. Wilburga, daughter of Pain de Mundubleil), dead
by 1155, when succeeded by his son:

3. Pain I de Mundubleil, d. 1170. He was succeeded by his son:

4. Patrick III de Chaworth, who "seems to have d. 1199." His son:

5. Pain II de Chaworth d. 1237 (m. Gundred, daughter and heir of William de
la Ferte by Margery de Briwere, sister and coheir of William). Farrer,
Honors and Knights Fees 3:414 says that the sheriff of Devon was ordered to
give Pain seisin of lands that were William de la Ferte's in 1216. He was
succeeded by his son:

6. Patrick IV de Chaworth (m. Hawise, daughter and heir of Thomas de London,
lord of Kidwelly), d. 1258. He proffered 500 pounds for livery of lands
which descended to him from his father Pain and grandmother Margaret. He
left a minor heir (aged 14):

7. Pain III de Chaworth, d.s.p. 1279, leaving as heir a brother Patrick V de
Chaworth (m. Isabel de Beauchamp, daughter of William, Earl of Warwick), aged
25, who died 1283 leaving as heir a daughter Maud de Chaworth, b. 1282, who
brought the honour to Henry, 2nd son of Edmund of Lancaster (d. 1345).

I didn't know if you already had this material, but thought I'd post it
anyway.
