Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon
Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon[1] (1217 – 15 February 1245), feudal baron of Plympton in Devon[2] 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.Because his father died at a young age it is likely that Baldwin was born posthumously.Although it is not recorded when he came of age and did homage for his lands, it is known that he was knighted by King Henry III and created 6th Earl of Devon on Christmas Day 1239 at Winchester.[3] In 1240 he departed to the Holy Land on the Barons' Crusade with a host of crusaders led by Richard of Cornwall.[4] In 1235 he married Amice de Clare (1220–1284), daughter of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford[5] and had the following children:
