notes:
·
The 1st Earl of Devon was Baldwin de Reviers
(Redvers, Revieres), son of Richard de Reviers, founder of wynham Abbey, a great
lord in Devon and the Isle of Wight, one
of the first to rebel against King Stephen. He seized Exeter, and was a pirate
out of Carisbrooke, but he was driven out of England to Anjou, where he joined
the Empress Matilda. She made him Earl of Devon, probably in early 1141.
William de Reviers, 5th Earl, had only 2 children who left issue. 9/1/1216, his
son Baldwin died [age 16], leaving his wife Margaret pregnant with the 6th
Earl. King John forced her to marry Falkes de Breauté. She divorced from him. The
5th Earl's youngest daughter, Mary, married Pierre de Preaux and then Robert de
Courtney. The 7th Earl died in 1262, leaving no children. His sister, Isabella
de Fortibus was widow of William de Forz, 4th Earl of Albemarle, and became
Countess of Devon in her own right. Her children predeceased her; she had no
grandchildren. Her lands passed to her 2nd cousin once removed, Hugh de
Courtney, great-grandson of Mary & Robert de Courtney.
