Baldwin de Redvers, 3rd Earl of Devon
Baldwin de Redvers, 3rd Earl of Devon( c. 1160–1188) was Earl of Devon from 1162 until his death and was feudal baron of Plympton in Devon.
His birth is not attested; but he had a younger brother, and he was invested with the Earldom between the Pipe Rolls of 1185 and 1186, so he should not have been much over twenty- one.
He married Denise the heiress of Raoul, Prince of Déols, lord of Châteauroux and Charenton- du- Cher.
After his death, she married André de Chauvigny.
He was succeeded by his brother, Richard de Redvers, 4th Earl of Devon.
Edward de Courtenay, 3rd/11th Earl of Devon
Edward de Courtenay, 3rd/11th Earl of Devon (c.1357 – 5 December 1419), known by the epithet the "Blind Earl", was the son of Sir Edward de Courtenay and Emeline Dawnay, and in 1377 succeeded his grandfather, Hugh Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon, as Earl of Devon.
The ordinal number given to the early Courtenay Earls of Devon depends on whether the earldom is deemed a new creation by the letters patent granted 22 February 1334/5 or whether it is deemed a restitution of the old dignity of the de Redvers family.
Authorities differ in their opinions, and thus alternative ordinal numbers exist, given here.
Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon
Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon( 1217 – 15 February 1245), feudal baron of Plympton in Devon and Lord of the Isle of Wight, was the son of Baldwin de Redvers and Margaret FitzGerold and grandson of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon.
Richard de Redvers, 4th Earl of Devon
Richard de Redvers, 4th Earl of Devon( died 1193) was Earl of Devon from 1188 until his death and was feudal baron of Plympton in Devon.
He inherited the title on the death of his elder brother Baldwin de Redvers, 3rd Earl of Devon, who died childless.
On his own death without issue the title passed to his uncle, William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon, third but only surviving son of the 1st Earl.
Hugh de Courtenay, 1st/9th Earl of Devon
Hugh de Courtenay, 1st/ 9th Earl of Devon( 14 September 1276 – 23 December 1340) was the son of Sir Hugh de Courtenay( died 1292), feudal baron of Okehampton in Devon, by his wife Eleanor le Despenser( died 1328), sister of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester.
Forty- one years after the death of Isabel de Redvers," suo jure" 8th Countess of Devon( died 1293)( eldest daughter of Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon), letters patent were granted by King Edward III of England, dated 22 February 1335, declaring him Earl of Devon, and stating that he' should assume such title and style as his ancestors, Earls of Devon, had wont to do so'.
This thus made him 1st Earl of Devon, if the letters patent are deemed to have created a new peerage, otherwise 9th Earl of Devon, if it is deemed a restitution of the old dignity of the de Redvers family, and he is deemed to have succeeded the" suo jure" 8th Countess of Devon, his second- cousin once removed.
Authorities differ in their opinions, and thus alternative ordinal numbers exist for this Courtenay earldom.
Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon
Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon (died 4 June 1155), feudal baron of Plympton in Devon, was the son of Richard de Redvers and his wife Adeline Peverel.

She made him Earl of Devon after she established herself in England, probably in early 1141.
He founded several monasteries, notably those of Quarr Abbey (1131), in the Isle of Wight, a priory at Breamore, Hampshire, and the Priory of St James, at Exeter.
Some monastic chronicles call his father also Earl of Devon, but no contemporary record uses the title, including the monastic charters.

After the early death of her husband and her brother, before she was thirty years old, she inherited their estates and became one of the richest women in England, living mainly in Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight, which she held from the king as tenant- in- chief.
She had six children, all of whom died before her.
On her death bed she was persuaded to sell the Isle of Wight to King Edward I, in a transaction that has ever since been considered questionable.
Her heir to the feudal barony of Plympton was her cousin Hugh de Courtenay( 1276 – 1340), feudal baron of Okehampton, Devon, who in 1335 was declared Earl of Devon.
Countess Wear, now a suburb of Exeter, is named after a weir that she built on the River Exe, and she is the subject of several legends and traditions.
