Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a disagreement about whether Richard de Redvers was Earl of Devon. For those who think he was, the numbers of the medieval earls must be one greater.

Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon and Lord of the Isle (of Wight) (1217 – 15 February 1245), was the son of Baldwin de Redvers and Margaret FitzGerold; grandson of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon.

In 1225 he married Amicia de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford and had the following children:

1. Baldwin de Redvers, 7th Earl of Devon.
2. Isabella de Redvers, 8th Countess of Devon (or Isabella de Fortibus) (died 1293), married William de Forz, 4th Earl of Albermarle. After the death of her brother, she became Countess of Devon in her own right, and Lady of the Isle of Wight.
