Thomas de Courtenay, 5th/13th Earl of Devon (3 May 1414 – 3 February 1458) was a nobleman from South West England. His seat was at Colcombe Castle near Colyton, and later at the principal historic family seat of Tiverton Castle, after his mother's death. The Courtenay family had historically been an important one in the region, and the dominant force in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. However, the rise in power and influence of several gentry families and other political players, in the years leading up to Thomas' accession to the earldom, threatened the traditional dominance of the earls of Devon in the area. Much of his life was spent in armed territorial struggle against his near-neighbour, Sir William Bonville of Shute, at a time when central control over the provinces was weak. Th

  • Сэр Томас де Куртене (англ. Sir Thomas Courtenay; 1414 — 3 февраля 1458, аббатство Абингдон, Беркшир, Королевство Англия) — английский аристократ, крупный землевладелец из юго-западных графств, 13-й граф Девон и 6-й барон Куртене с 1422 года. Участвовал в Столетней войне, с 1445 года занимал должность главного стюарда Англии. Во внутриполитической борьбе был сторонником Бофортов, позже заключил союз с герцогом Ричардом Йоркским, но в Войнах Алой и Белой розы поддержал Ланкастеров. Сражался в первой битве при Сент-Олбансе в мае 1455 года. Враждовал с Уильямом Бонвиллом, оспаривавшим его гегемонию в юго-западных графствах, причём дело дважды доходило до масштабных боевых действий (в 1450 и 1456 годах). Для Куртене эта борьба была в целом неудачной. Все трое сыновей сэра Томаса погибли молоды (ru)
