- William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon
William de Reviers, 5th Earl of Devon (? – 10 September 1217), was the son of Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon and Adelise Baluun. William de Redvers is also "William de Vernon", because he was brought up at Vernon Castle, in Normandy, the seat of his grandfather.
He took part in Richard the Lion-Hearted's second coronation, in 1194, when the Canopy was supported by four Earls; he consistently supported King John. Nevertheless, at the end of John's life, the King permitted one of his mercenary captains to seize the Earl's widowed daughter-in-law, force a marriage, and grab her dowry.
