This is the handwritten Pedigree of the Reynolds Family taken from a collection of William de la Pole personal papers before/during the Heralds Visitation, in the finished book "Stephan Reynell" is not included, he is listed as John Reynell, brother of Walter, I am more inclined to believe the handwritten version. John is reported to have died without Children before his father and I did come across a handwritten letter from William Pole to Thomas Reynolds that does indicate some collusion (in my opinion) as to the accuracy of this pedigree. I shall include it later. I have a Theory as to the origins of the Reynolds family prior to Richard, who held the Castle at Exeter, but it is a work in progress.
