Isabella de Forz, Countess of Devon
Isabella de Forz (Latinized to de Fortibus) (July 1237 – 10 November 1293) was the eldest daughter of Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon (1217-1245). On the death of her brother Baldwin de Redvers, 7th Earl of Devon (d.1262) without progeny, she inherited ''suo jure'' the earldom and also the feudal barony of Plympton in Devon〔Sanders, I.J. English Baronies: A Study of their Origin and Descent 1086-1327, Oxford, 1960, pp.137-8, Barony of Plympton〕 and the Lordship of the Isle of Wight. After the early death of her husband and her brother before she was thirty years old, she inherited their estates and became one of the richest women in England, living mainly in Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight, which she held from the king as tenant-in-chief.
She had six children, all of whom died before her. On her death bed she was persuaded to sell the Isle of Wight to King Edward I, in a transaction that has ever since been considered questionable. Her heir to the feudal barony of Plympton was her cousin Hugh II Courtenay (1276-1340),〔Sanders, p.138〕 feudal baron of Okehampton, Devon, who in 1335 was declared Earl of Devon.〔Sanders, p.70〕
A weir on the River Exe is named after her, and she is the subject of at least two legends.
