Sir EDWARD, 3d son of Hugh, 2d earl of Devon, d. before his father, leaving two sons, EDWARD, who succeeded his grandfather as 3d earl of Devon in 1377, and sir HUGH COURTENAY, of Haccomb. EDWARD, 3d earl, d. 1419, and was succeeded by his son, HUGH, 4th earl, who was father of THOMAS, 5th earl, to whom succeeded his son, THOMAS, 6th earl, who was attainted and beheaded 1 Edw.

On the accession of Henry VII., sir EDWARD COURTENAY, of Boconnoc, being then heir male of the family, (viz. son of sir HUGH COURTENAY, of Boconnoc, co. Cornwall, son and heir of sir HUGH of Haccomb, co. Devon, the brother of EDWARD, 3d earl,) was created earl of Devon, to him and the heirs male of his body, by patent 26 Oct. 1485. He d. in 1509, but his son, sir WILLIAM COURTENAY, being attainted, he did not inherit that dignity. Having however m. the lady Katherine Plantagenet, da. and co-h. of Edward IV., and aunt of Henry VIII., that monarch created him, on the 10 May 1511, earl of Devon, with remainder to the heirs male of his body. He was succeeded by his son HENRY, who was created marquess of Exeter, June 1525, but having been attainted and beheaded in 31 Hen. VIII. all his honours were forfeited. His only child, sir EDWARD COURTENAY, continued a prisoner until the accession of queen Mary, who, in the first year of her reign, restored him to the title and precedence of his ancestors, with remainder to his heirs male for ever. He d. unm. in 1556, when sir WILLIAM COURTENAY, of Powderham, (the lineal descendant of sir PHILIP COURTENAY, 6th son of HUGH, 2d earl of Devon, by Margaret de Bohun,) and the immediate ancestor of the present earl, became the male representative of the family; but the limitatíons of the patent, creating the earldom, continuing unknown, the dignity remained dormant until claimed by the late earl. To his great-grandson, William Courtenay, (who was b. 1628,) a writ of privy seal was issued for creating him a baronet, which title he and his descendants ever after used and were called by; but no record of any letters patent for that dignity has hitherto been discovered.
