Baldwin de Brionne, 1st Lord of Okehampton, Sheriff of Devonshire was the second and youngest son of Gilbert de Brionne, 2nd Count of Eu, 2nd Count of Bronne (1000-1040). His mother was one daughters of the Count of Flanders, which remains a secret of history. He married Albreda de le Goz (1032-1088), daughter of Richard le Goz, Viscount of Avranches, and had had five children by that marriage: three sons and two daughters.
All three of his sons died successively without progeny, and were succeeded by the progeny of their two sisters, about which surviving sources are obscure. Many people call him Baldwin Fitzgilbert, but this is inaccurate as he was a legitimate son of the Count of Eu. He was also one of the 52 Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror.
