Topic: Edward Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon


  
  Royal Family Archives - Ragnhild Alexandra LORENTZEN to Charles XV, King of Sweden
He is said to have murdered his nephews, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York in 1483 (called the Princes in the Tower).
Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner, and his efforts to create a new nobility more amenable to his interests, angered the older nobles and alienated Richard Nevill, Earl of Warwick, who had been a power behind his throne.
Because of a power struggle between his paternal uncle Richard, duke of Gloucester and his maternal uncle Anthony Woodville, 2d Earl Rivers, both Edward and his brother, Richard, duke of York (1472-83) were confined in the Tower of London shortly after their father's death in April 1483.

 Earl of Devon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The title of Earl of Devon was created several times in the Peerage of England, and was possessed first by the de Reviers family, and later for the Courtenay.
It is not to be confused with the titles of Earl of Duke of Devonshire, held by the Cavendish family, although the patent for the creation of those peerages used the same Latin words, Comes Devon.
Unlike the Dukes of Devonshire, the Earls of Devon are strongly connected with the county of Devon.

 Henry COURTENAY (1° M. Exeter)
The Earl Edward was grandnephew of another Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon, Earl Marshal in 1385, but this Earldom had been forfeited by Edward IV, in the person of Thomas Courtenay (great-grandson of the elder Edward Courtenay), who fought with the Lancastrians at Towton, and was slain at Tewkesbury (1461).
Courtenay attended Henry VIII at Calais, at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, in 1521, and took part in the tournaments.
As the grandson of Edward IV, he had a certain claim to the throne, and his wealth and intimacy with the Yorkist Poles and the Nevilles readily enabled Cromwell to point him out to the King as a danger to the succession.
