Reginald de Dunstanville, Sheriff of Devon, Earl of Cornwall, was an illegitimate son of Henry I of England and Lady Sybilla Corbet.
Reginald had been invested with the Earldom of Cornwall by King Stephen of England, but having afterwards taken up the cause of the Empress Matilda, his sister, he forfeited his lands and honors. Around 1173 he granted a charter to his free bugesses of Triueru, and he addressed his meetings at Truro to All men both Cornish and English suggesting a continuing differentiation.
He married Mabel FitzRichard, daughter of William FitzRichard (who held a number of fiefs in Cornwall) and had the following children:
Nicholas de Dunstanville (1136–1175).
Hawyse (or Denise) de Dunstanville (1138–21 April 1162). Married Richard de Redvers, 2nd Earl of Devon (Richard de Reviers).
Maud FitzRoy de Dunstanville of Cornwall (b. 1143, Dunstanville, Kent, England). Married Sir Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan.
Ursula de Dunstanville (b. 1145). Married Walter de Dunstanville Lord Castlecomb.
Sarah de Dunstanville (b. 1147). Married Ademar V, viscount of Limoges.
Reginald de Dunstanville (b. c. 1152).
Joan FitzRoy (b. c. 1150). Married Ralph de Valletort, Lord of Trematon.
He also had illegitimate children by Beatrice de Vaux, who was later married to William Brewer (justice).
Henry FitzCount, Sheriff of Cornwall, Earl of Cornwall (d. 1222) and William FitzCount
Reginald was also known as Reginald FitzRoy or Rainald
He was buried in Reading Abbey.
