Origins

According to John Lambrick Vivian and John Burke, Revel was an Englishman, Hugh Reinell, a younger son of Walter Reynell of Pitney in Somerset by his wife Maude of Trumpington, daughter and heiress of Everard of Trumpington, lord of the manor of Trumpington in Cambridgeshire.[3][4]

Revel’s elder brother was John Reynell (died 1363/4) of Trumpington in Cambridgeshire, stated in the Heraldic Visitation of Devon of 1620 to have been a Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire in 1351/2,[3] who married Maud of Fulburne (or Fulborne),[5] a daughter of Giles of Fulburne of Cambridgeshire.[6]

The earliest recorded member of the Reynell family is of Sir Richard Reynell (or Reinell, Reynolds, etc.), who died before 1213, of Pitney in Somerset, Sheriff of Devon in 1191-4,[3] Hugh Reynell's great-great-grandfather.
