Baldwin de Redvers, 7th 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, 7th Earl of Devon and Lord of the Isle (of Wight) (1 January 1236 – 1262), was the son of Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon and Amicia de Clare, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford. He succeeded at the age of ten.
He died in the expedition of Henry III of England to France in 1262; the record of his death by the royal clerks was made on September 13. He was succeeded by his sister Isabel, who was already the widow of William de Fortz, 4th Earl of Albemarle.
[edit] Marriage
He married, shortly after his coming of age, in 1257, Margaret, daughter of Thomas II of Savoy, who was cousin of the Queen, Eleanor of Provence, on one side, and niece of Pope Innocent IV on the other. He had one child:
- John de Redvers, who died an infant.
