Family notes:

Richard’s paternal uncle, Richard de Camville, outlived this Richard. Richard, the uncle (d.1224), attended the 3rd crusade with King Richard I, and appears in many records with Gerard, father of this Richard.

The events surrounding Richard’s death leave open several probable senarios: left a son that died [Eustacia dying in child birth], lived until 1217 [possibly incapacitated in some way], … but ultimately Iodine becomes his heir.
