Narrative

6th Earl of Devon
William de Redvers, 2nd son, surnamed Vernon, died 1216. He succeeded to the estates at the death of his nephew Richard, as 6th Earl of Devon. This nobleman, upon the second coronation of King Richard I, was one of the four Earls that carried the silken canopy, he being then styled Earl of the Isle of Wight. His lordship appears to have adhered steadily to King John, for we find that monarch, in the 18th year of his reign, providing for the security of the Earl's property against Louis of France, which from his advanced age he was unable to defend himself. He married Mabel, daughter of Robert, Earl of Meulent, by whom he acquired a considerable accession to his landed possessions.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 277)

He was the son of Baldwin de Redvers, 2nd Earl of Devon and Adelise Baluun. Baldwin de Redvers also called 5st Earl of Devon or William de Vernon,so called because he was born at Vernon Castle, in Normandy, the seat of his grandfather, prior to his arrival in England.
He was maried Mabile de Beaumont, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan.
