CHURCH: Property> Founded Quarr Abbey, 1132. TITLES: Created Earl of Devon, probably in 1141, and certainly before the Midsummer in that year. POLITICS: Upon the rumor of the King's death, in Apr 1136 he was one of the first to break into a revolt. Seizing the royal castle of Exeter, he sustained a long siege by the King, was ultimately allowed to withdraw his forces on giving up the castle. The King proceeded to the Isle of Wight and drove him and his family into exile. He took refuge at the Court of Anjou. A short time later he conducted a successful raid into Normandy. About Lent 1138 he was taken prisoner in Normandy by Enguerrand de Say; He returned to England in autumn 1139, shortly before the arrival of the Empress Maud, and seized the castle of Corfe, which he successfully defended against the King, forcing him eventually to raise the siege. | |||
