Richard de Vernon seigneur de Redvers (or Reviers, Rivers, or Latinised to de Ripariis ("from the river-banks")) ( c. 1066 – 8 September 1107), 1st feudal baron of Plympton in Devon, was His origins are obscure, but after acting as one of the principal supporters of Henry I in his struggle against his brother Robert Curthose for control of the English throne, de Redvers was rewarded with estates that made him one of the richest magnates in the country. He was once thought to have been created the first Earl of Devon, but this theory is now discounted in favour of his son Baldwin.
