Fulk Bourchier was the eldest son and heir of William Bourchier, 9th Baron FitzWarin (1407–1470) by his wife Thomasine Hankford, a daughter and coheiress of Sir Richard Hankford (c. 1397 – 1431) of Annery, Devon, feudal baron of Bampton.[3]
Fulk Bourchier married Elizabeth Dynham (died 19 October 1516),[5] the daughter of Sir John Dinham (1406–1458) of Nutwell by his wife Joan Arches (died 1497), and sister and coheir of John Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham (died 1501). After the death of Fulk Bourchier, Elizabeth Dynham remarried twice, firstly to Sir John Sapcotes (died 1501) of Elton, Huntingdonshire; a stained glass heraldic escutcheon survives in Bampton church showing the arms of Sapcotes impaling Dinham. After the death of Sapcotes, Elizabeth Dynham remarried secondly to Sir Thomas Brandon (died 27 January 1510) of Duddington, Northamptonshire.[6] There was no issue of Elizabeth Dynham's marriage to Thomas Brandon, and according to Gunn, after his death she took a vow of celibacy before Bishop Fisher on 21 April 1510.[7] She died 19 October 1516, and was buried in the Greyfriars, London.[8][9]
By Elizabeth Dynham, Fulk Bourchier had the following children:
Bourchier died 18 September 1479 at the age of thirty-three. In his will, dated 1 April 1475 and proved 10 November 1480, he requested burial in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin at Bampton, Devon, next to the tomb of his mother, the Lady Thomasine. He left the residue of his estate to his wife, Elizabeth Dynham, whom he made his sole executrix.[14]
Dugdale, quoting the will of Fulk Bourchier, shows that his father, William Bourchier, and his mother, Thomasine Hankford, are also buried at Bampton, as he bequeathed his body to be buried at Bampton near the grave of his mother, Lady Thomasine, and he willed that marble stones with inscriptions should be placed on his own grave and that of his father, Lord William, and his mother, Lady Thomasine.[15][16]
