This story of the descent of the Isle of Wight is thoroughly confused. The Isle was granted by Henry I to Richard de Redvers, and was held by his descendants, earls of Devon from 1141. The last of these, Isabella, married William de Forz, count of Aumale (d. 1260), as his second wife. William was the grandson of Hawise, countess of Aumale, and her second husband William de Forz (d. 1195), having previously married William de Mandeville, third earl of Essex (d. 1189), and then, after her second husband's death, Baldwin de Bethune (d. 1212). Isabella succeeded to the earldom of Devon and the lordship of the Isle of Wight in 1263, following the death of her brother, and was the only member of the Forz family to hold them, for immediately before her death in 1293 she was induced to sell the Isle to Edward I.
