High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The title of Earl of Devon was created several times in the Peerage of England, and was possessed first by the de Redvers (de Reviers) family, and later for the Courtenay. It is not to be confused with the title of "Earl of Devonshire", held along with the title of Duke of Devonshire by the Cavendish family, although the patent for the creation of those peerages used the same Latin words, Comes Devon. The Earls of Devon were treated with suspicion under the Tudors, partly because one of them had married Catherine of York, a younger daughter of Edward IV of England. All of them but the last were attainted, and there were several recreations and restorations. The last recreation was to the heirs male of the grantee, not (as would be usual) the heirs male of his body. When he died unmarried, it was assumed the title was extinct, but a much later Courtenay, whose common ancestor was seven generations before this Earl, successfully claimed the title in 1831. During this period the de jure Earls of Devon were made baronets and Viscounts.
