BIOGRAPHY
"The date of his father's death is not recorded, but his grandfather, Ralph Trenewith I (a former receiver of the duchy of Cornwall who had represented Truro in 1377 and 1393) died before December 1393 and within three years Ralph II had inherited his lands. Some time between 1396 and 1399 Sir Robert Yelverton complained to the chancellor of England that whereas he was lord of the manor of 'Trenewith and Trewishannes' in right of his wife, Ralph had gone there on a number of occasions with an armed following, felled a quantity of his timber, taken beeswax and honey, collected the 'tin-toll' and generally behaved as if he were lord of the manor. (It would appear that Yelverton had married his mother, and Ralph resented his intrusion.) By 1398 Trenewith was of sufficient standing to act as surety for the appearance of his uncle, William Bodrugan II*, before the King's Council. His estates included the manors of Trenowth, Fentongollan, 'Trewethenek, Tregenser, Rust and Powna', and his mother, as lady of the manor of Fentongollan, had brought to her husband's family the advowson of St. Michael Penkivel. Ralph's first marriage was to the daughter of a wealthy knight (Basset left £100 for the marriages of each of his daughters); and in 1405 he and Jane together obtained a licence for an oratory in their 'mansion' of Trenowth and in the chapels of the Holy Trinity and of the Blessed Virgin within their demesnes in St. Probus.

"Trenewith attended the shire elections to the Parliaments of 1413 (May), 1414 (Nov.), and 1416 (Mar.), all of which were held at Lostwithiel. In 1417 or 1418 he was the subject of a petition to the chancellor from Oliver Tregasowe†, claiming that he had disseised him of various properties in Cornwall during the King's absence in Normandy. Trenewith himself was to campaign in France, even though he must by now have been in his forties. In May 1419 Henry V granted him and his male heirs for his past and future good service the property of two French rebels, situated in the bailliage of Caen and valued at 50 francs a year, in return for which he was expected to provide a man-at-arms and three archers whenever required. Evidently Trenewith was soon back in England, for he attended the parliamentary elections for Cornwall in 1420, and again did so in 1421 (Dec.), 1422 and 1423.

"In 1426, on the death of John Chenduyt (knight of the shire for Cornwall in the same Parliament of 1395), Trenewith was found to be coheir to his estates (most notably the manor of Bodannan and the office of bailiff of the hundred of Trigg), by virtue of his descent from Alice Chenduyt, his own maternal grandmother. But he scarcely had time to take possession of them: he himself died on 15 Aug. 1427, leaving his son, John, aged 24, as his heir. Ralph's widow was still living in 1451. She was then possessed of lands worth (£4 a year, which if they represented the normal dower portion of one third, would suggest that our Member's estates had been worth at least £12 annually."[1]

Per the Celtic Casimir website:

In Cornwall "the manor of Bodannan or Bodannon was formerly a seat of the ancient family of Chenduit, corruptly called Cheyney. Sir John Chenduit, of this family, was one of the representatives of the county in the reigns of Henry IV. and Henry V. His son William left two daughters co-heiresses, married into the families of Trejago and Roscarrock."

"In 1337, William Chenduit held two acres of land Cornish in Bodulgate of the Manor of Helston in Trigg, at the rent of 6s. per annum, fealty, and suit at Court; whilst a further half acre, in the same ville, was held by Eichard Tynden at the rent of 18d, and similar services. William Chenduit died leaving a son Thomas, and two daughters,Johanna, who married Stephen Trejago, and Alice who became the wife of Thomas Roscarrock. The legitimate issue of Thomas Cheynduit became extinct in his grandson, John Cheynduit. John had two illegitimate children, Richard Cheynduit and Johanna, wife of John Pengelly, upon whom, by a fine levied in 1425, he settled, inter alia, Bodulgate, which appears then to have been annexed to the Manor of Bodannan, with various remainders over. John Cheynduit died two years afterwards, and it was found upon the Inqiusition taken after his death, that William Cheynduit being seized of this manor settled the same upon himself and his wife Elizabeth for life and the heirs of their bodies, and that he had issue Thomas, Johanna, and Alice, and that the said Thomas had the manor, and that it descended to the said John, who died without issue, and that the manor descended to certain Ralph Trenowyth and Thomas Roscarrock as kinsmen and heirs of the said John, viz., the said Ralph as son of Johanna daughter of the aforesaid Johanna, one of the sisters of the aforesaid Thomas son of William, and the aforesaid Thomas Roscarrock as son of Alice, the other sister of Thomas son of William.' Accordingly we find in the Assession EoU of 1461, that the ahovementioned two acres of land in Bodulgate were held by John Trenewith, described as kinsman and heir of William Cheynduit. He was the grandson of Ealph Trenewith ahovementioned. In the same roll, the other tenement in Bodulgate is stated to be held by Thomas Bodulgate, kinsman and heir of Warine Bodulgate, and kinsman and heir of Richard Tynden."

From Fine Roll, 6 Hen. VI (24 Jun 1428), after the death of William's grandson John...

John Cheynduyt on the day of his death held no lands, in demesne or in service, of the king in chief as of the crown, but that Ralph Meyndy, late parson of the church of St. Tudy, John Rescarrekmur and John Tyrell of Barlandu, all deceased, being lately seised of the manor of Bodanan in their demesne as of fee, gave that manor by their charter to William Cheynduyt and Elizabeth his wife and the heirs of their bodies, by virtue of which gift the said William and Elizabeth were seised thereof in their demesne as of fee tail ; and that William and Elizabeth had issue Thomas, Joan and Alice, and died, after whose death the said Thomas, as son and next heir of the said William Cheynduyt and Elizabeth, entered into the said manor and was seised thereof for the whole of his life by the form of the gift, and had issue the said John Cheynduyt ; and that after the death of Thomas the said John as his son and next heir entered into the said manor and died so seised thereof without heir of his body, so that the manor descended to Ralph Trenewyth and Thomas Rescarrek, esquires, as the kinsmen and heirs of the said John Cheynduyt, to wit, to Ralph as the son of Joan the daughter of the said Joan one of the sisters of the said Thomas son of William, and to Thomas Rescarrek as the son of Thomas the son of the said Alice the other sister of the said Thomas son of William...
