Thomas Courtenay 13th Earl of Devon (1414–1458) was an English nobleman who was involved in the Wars of the Roses. His seat was Colcombe Castle near Colyton Devon and later the principal historic family seat of Tiverton Castle after his mother’s death. Much of his life was spent in armed territorial struggle against his near-neighbour in Devon Sir William Bonville of Shute Devon at a time when central control over the provinces was weak.
