This follows on from "At Last - the Royal Connection (Barker/Baucke/Turner/Ratcliffe side of the family) Part 1" which traces our family ancestry from King John of England to the present day. Part 2 continues the research of each direct descendant from where Part 1 left off. Please note there may be some discrepancies between dates of births, deaths and marriages, and several variants of names and spelling in each post. Most dates should be taken as approximate.

Hugh was a knight of Hamatethy in St Breward, of Rillaton, andTrevegan in Egloshayle, Cornwall. He was bachelor knight to Edward the Black Prince, Prince of Wales. A knight bachelor fought under another's banner, and carried that banner into battle. A knight bachelor's banner was a pennant tapering off in a tail. In 1355, he was exempted for life from being put on assizes (criminal courts) and juries, probably in recognition of his service to the king.
According to historic records, Hugh was buried in The Church of the Grey Friars, Bodmin, Cornwall; however, the Find a Grave site has evidence of him buried in the church of St John the Baptist, at Sampford Peverell. Maybe that's just a memorium to him?
