John, Lord Moels, brother and heir. On 18 July 1316 Richard Lovel was granted the wardship of two parts of the lands late of Nicholas, John's brother, until the full age of John. Having proved his age and done homage, he had livery of the lands of Roger de Moels, his brother, 17 Sep 1325. He was ceremoniously knighted Jan 1326/7. On 5 May 1328 he had licence to grant to Margaret de Moels (his brother's widow), for life, a moiety of the manor of Diptford and the hundred of Stanborough, Devon, in exchange for a grant of her interest in the manor of Little Berkhampstead. He was a justice of the peace in 1329. On 7 May 1331 the escheator was ordered to take the lands of John de Moels, knight, into the King's hand because he had gone outside the realm without licence, contrary to the proclamation. He was granted the marriage of Elizabeth, late the wife of Edmund de Mortimer, 7 July 1333, but did not marry her. On 21 Nov 1335 he had protection, being about to go beyond seas. He was never summoned to Parliament. He married Joan, daughter of Richard 1st Lord Lovel [of Castle Cary] by Muriel, daughter and heir of Sir John de Soules. He died s..p.m., before 21 August 1337. On 1 September 1337 custody of his lands was granted to Thomas de Ferrars and Thcobald de Mounteney. At his death the Barony of Moels is held, according to modern doctrine, to have fallen into abeyance between his two daughters and coheirs, who were both born in Dorset.
