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.
