Could we have information on whether any of these people had any connection with Exeter, if it's available, please? Thanks. seglea 01:22, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Hmm...peers generally don't have much connection to the locations of their titles. In the middle ages, Earls generally had the "half-penny" of their county, but the Dukes of Exeter weren't Earls of Devon. The Holland ones were actually Earls of Huntingdon, and presumably had the income of Huntingdon (and Thomas Beaufort was Earl of Dorset, so same deal). The Courtenays held the Earldom of Devon, and presumably had the half-penny for that county. So probably nothing. john 01:42, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)
