The antique map titled ‘Devonia vulgo Devon-Shire’, created in 1665, depicts the county of Devon in the southwest of England. The title translates to ‘Devonshire, commonly known as Devon’. In the early 17th century, the United Kingdom was still under the rule of the Stuart dynasty, with King James I on the throne until 1625, followed by his son Charles I. The country was in a state of political and religious turmoil, with tensions between the monarchy and parliament leading to the English Civil War in 1642. The map of Devonshire shows the central locations of Exeter, Okehampton, and Chagford, providing a glimpse into the geography and layout of the region during this time period.
