Cornwall fine no.56 of 1234, is further confirmation of these relationships. It has Emma [I], wife of Robert [I] de Kardinan, claiming against Andrew [ her brother-in-law] for an exchange of her dower lands of East Allington and Woodhuish, and which Odo de Treverbyn and his wife Emma [II] were claiming in turn against her, Emma [I]. Andrew exchanged Emma [I]'s Devon dower lands for the Cornish lands of Penhallam, Trevisquite, Penventinue, Cuttivett, and Prideaux-in-Luxulyan together with the services of Richard de Prideaux. Andrew is the deforciant in these fines and it seems that the lands of Andrew's younger brother, Robert, reverted to Andrew.

On the next day Ivor had a source which suggested a father for Emma:

The only candidate that I have seen put forward for Iseult de Suligny's husband is Richard Prideaux, proposed by Hylton in his History of Kilmersdon, but I don't recall that he named a source. The chronology suggests that he must be referring to Richard de Prideaux who witnessed a charter of Robert de Cardinham to Lostwithiel in 1186. Neither MacLean nor R. M. Prideaux' history of the Prideaux mention the connection.
