Seal of Baldwin de Redvers. Arms: a lion rampant. Legend: "S(IGILLUM) BALDWINI DE RIDVERIIS CO(MITIS) DEVON(IAE) ET D(OMI)N(U)S INSUL(A)E" (seal of Baldwin de Redvers, Count of Devon and of The Isle)
Because his father died at a young age it is likely that Baldwin was born posthumously. Although it is not recorded when he came of age and did homage for his lands, it is known that he was knighted by King Henry III and created 6th Earl of Devon on Christmas Day 1239 at Winchester.[3]
