Third son of Richard de Camville, who founded Combe Abbey, in Warwickshire, and was son and heir of Gerard de Camville, Lord of Lilbourne, near Creek, in Northamptonshire. Isabel's mother was Milicent, cousin to King Henry I's second consort, Adeliza, daughter to Godfrey I, Duke of Brabant, who gave to the said Millicent, on her marriage with the said Richard Camville, the lordship of Stanton, in the county of Oxford, which was confirmed to her and her heirs by Kings Stephen and Henry II.

Warwick, and was one of the witnesses in the 12th of the same reign [1147], to the convention between that monarch and Henry, Duke of Normandy, regarding the succession of the latter to the crown of England. This feudal lord appears to be a person of great power during the whole of King Henry's reign, and after the accession of Richard I, we find him one of the admirals in the expedition made by that monarch into the Holy Land.

        Richard de Camville, who was founder, in temp King Stephen, of Combe Abbey, County Warwick, and was one of the witnesses, in the 12th year of the same reign, to the convention between that monarch and Henry, Duke of Normandy, regarding the succession of the latter to the crown of England. (King Stephen was the son of Adela, daughter of William, the Conqueror, and this Henry was the great-grandson of William, being the son of Maud, called the Empress, daughter of Henry I, son of William. As this last Henry was just a baby in, 1135, Stephen was finally made King, and in the wars over it all it was agreed that Henry should follow Stephen, which he did in 1154 as Henry II.) This feudal lord appears to be a person of great power during the whole reign of Henry II, and after the accession of Richard I we find him one of the Admirals in the expedition made by that monarch to the Holy Land. He was subsequently Governor of Cypress, whence he went without the King's permission to the Siege of Acre and there died. His lordship left four sons and a daughter.
