Talk:Earl of Cornwall

Baldwin ?!
Anyone has informations on who is this Baldwin, 1st Earl of Cornwall ? I haven't found anything on an earl between 1180 and 1188. It seems the title was owned by John of England... —Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleHz (talk • contribs) 14:03, 7th November 2006


 * The only thing I can find is "The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1188 of “Baldewinus comes Cornubiæ, consanguineus regis”[268]. This is the only reference so far identified to Baldwin have succeeded as Earl of Cornwall, presumably de iure uxoris if this succession is correct." at . DuncanHill (talk) 02:02, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * this Baldwin is also Earl of Devon (i.e. Baldwin de Redvers, 3rd Earl of Devon) BALDWIN (-10 or 28 May 1188). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Baldwinum secundum et Ricardum tertium” as the two sons of ”Ricardus secundus”, adding that both sons died childless[264].  Robert of Torigny records that "parvulum filium…Balduinum" succeeded on the death in 1162 of "Richardus de Revers dominus insula Vectæ in Anglia"[265].  He succeeded his father in 1162 as Earl of Devon, Lord of the Isle of Wight, probably invested with the earldom in 1185 or 1186[266].  The Obituary of Lyre records the death 10 May of “Baldewinus comes”[267].  The Annals of Waverley record the death in 1188 of “Baldewinus comes Cornubiæ, consanguineus regis”[268].  This is the only reference so far identified to Baldwin have succeeded as Earl of Cornwall, presumably de iure uxoris if this succession is correct.  m (Betrothed 1177) as her first husband, DENISE de Déols, daughter and heiress of RAOUL [VII] Sire de Déols et de Châteauroux & his second wife Agnès de Charenton (1173-1221[269], bur Déols).  The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified.  She married secondly (Salisbury Aug 1189) André [I] de Chauvigny Sire de Chauvigny, and thirdly (after 1203, maybe repudiated before 1207) as his first wife, Guillaume [I] Comte de Sancerre.

Earl of Cornwall, Anglo-Saxon title (c. 925)
Where does c. 925 come from? and the Anglo-Saxon? Bodrugan (talk) 19:58, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In 925 there were no earls in Cornwall.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 14:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Brian
Battle of Exeter: Afterwards the Earl, in conjunction with Brian of Brittany, attacked the Cornishmen west of Exeter forcing a retreat. William the Conqueror granted the Earldom of Cornwall to Count Brian of Brittany, who later commenced the construction of Launceston Castle, Trematon Castle and Bossiney Castle. Perhaps Brian should be listed here if the information is reliable. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
