Domesday lord of Okehampton [Ref: CP IX p1(a), Sanders Baronies p69]

In the time of William I there was a certain Baldwin, called "the sheriff," who was baron of the castle of Okehampton, Devon (Domesday Book, Devon), son of Count Gilbert de Brionne, and sometimes known as Baldwin de Moles, de Sap, de Brionne, and de Exeter (Stapleton, Magni Rot Scacc Norm). He gave to St. Amand of Rouen the church of Moels of Meulles, in Calvados (Round, Cal Docs France) [Ref: CP IX p1(a)]

male descend ended with his sons, two of which were also Sheriffs of Devon [Ref: Peter Stewart SGM 4/1/2007-004703]

murdered by the sons of Giroie [Ref: CP IV p309]

his sons succeeded him as sheriff, and even his daughters had residual rights in the shrievalty, but the failure of his sons to produce heirs meant that the real power in Devon passed form his family to that of Richard I de Redvers. [Ref: Keats-Rohan DP p162]
