General Notes (Husband)
Henri le Sire de Ferriers," commemorated by Wace a s a c o m b atant at Senlac, was Seigneur de Saint Hilair e de Fer ri er s , near Bernay, and son of Walkelin de Ferr ers, wh o fe l l i n a contest with the first Hugh de Montf ort we h ea r o f in t he early days of Duke William II, an d therefo re , tho ugh a y ounger son, for he had an elde r brother na me d Guill aume, wh o Monsieur de Pluquet tell s us, was als o i n the gr eat battl e, must have been wel l advanced in y ear s in 1066.
Whatever his services, it was not till after Hugh d'Avr a n c h es was created Earl of Chester, in 1071, that Hen r y d e Fe rr ers received at least the Castle of Tutbury , hi s "c apu t Bar onie," which had been previously grante d t o the s ai d Hugh , and resigned by him on becoming Ear l o f Chester . I n 1085 , we find him appointed one of th e com missioner s fo r the ge neral survey of the kingdom , and i n that yea r he i s recorde d as the holder, beside s the Ca stle of Tut bury, o f seven lo rdships in Stafford shire, tw enty in Berk shire, t hree in Wil tshire, five i n Essex, se ven in Oxford shire, tw o in Lincoln shire, tw o in Buckingh amshire, one i n Gloucest ershire, tw o in He refordshire, t hree in Hampshi re, thirty- five in Leic est ershire, six i n Warwickshire, t hree in Nott inghamshir e , and one hundre d and fourteen i n Derbyshire! W hen bes towed , however, o r how obtained, wh ether wholly b y gran t of th e King, o r partly by marriage , is not recorde d . Neither hav e we s ucceeded in identifyi ng his wife, Ber t a, in conjuncti o n with whom he founded a nd richly endo we d the Priory of T u tbury in 1089, "by th e concession a nd au thority of Will ia m the younger (Rufus) , King of th e Englis h." The dat e of hi s death also is unk nown; bu t he had issu e three s ons, Engue nulf, William, an d Robe rt. The two elde st die d in his lifet ime without iss ue , and Robert, who suc ceed ed him, was the f irst Ear l o f Ferrers, not Earl Ferrer s , as incorrectly desc ribe d, b y some, but "Robertus, Com e s de Ferrarius" or "d e F errier s," as in the charter o f th e second Earl Rober t, wh o wa s also Earl of Nottingha m, an d according to Or deric Vit al , the first Earl of Der by.
It is no part of the plan of this work to enter into de t a i l s respecting the descendants of the actual compani o n s o f th e Conqueror, but there are exceptions to mos t , i f no t to al l, rules, and there is so little to be s ai d ab out H enry d e Ferrers, and so much about his immed iat e suc cessor s, tha t I am tempted to depart from my ow n ru le o n this oc casion.
There is considerable difference of opinion, in the ab s e n c e of indubitable facts, as to which of these two Ro be r t s fa ther and son distinguished himself in the famou s b at tl e a t Northallerton, known as the Battle of the S tand ard , a ls o as to the exact period at which the earld oms o f No ttin gha m and Derby were conferred upon an Ear l of Fe rrers ; bu t th e principal bone of contention is t he ident ificat ion o f th e fortunate member of that famil y who mar ried Ma rgaret , dau ghter and heiress of Willia m Peverel , Lord o f Notting ham, w ho was dispossessed o f his estate s by Kin g Henry II , for co nspiring with Mau d, Countess o f Chester , to poiso n her husb and, Ranulp h Gernons, Ear l of Chester , in 1155.
Now this is a very curious story, which has been rece i v e d i n perfect confidence, and handed down from writ e r t o wr iter , as a portion of the history of England, u nt il , at th e New ark Congress of the British Archaeologi ca l As sociatio n, I v entured to question the very existe nc e eve n of the M argare t Peverel, who has been marrie d b y variou s genealogi sts t o at least three successiv e Earl s of Ferr ers.
In the charter of King Stephen to the monks of Lant o n w e f i nd mention of this William Peverel, of his wif e O ddon a, a n d his son Henry, at that time most probabl y hi s hei r appa re nt; but there is no notice of any daug hter , and t he roll s o f the reign of Henry 1, Stephen, a nd He nry II , in whic h men tion is made of many Peverels , inclu ding th e mother a nd sis ter of William Peverel o f Notting ham, ar e equally si lent o n the score of a daug hter, an d acknowle dge no Margar et Peve rel of any branch.
Vincent gives Margaret to the first Earl William, wh o t e l l s us himself that his wife's name was Sibilla; ot he r s t o Wi lliam's father, the second Robert, who explic it l y decl are s that his wife was another Sibilla, daught e r o f Willia m, L ord Braose of Bramber; and my dear lame nt ed f riend, th e lat e Rev. C. Hartshorne, in the "Archà ¦olo gica l Journal " (vol . v., p. 129), calls Margaret th e wif e o f the firs t Robert , who married Hawise de Vitry.
For the proof that William was the happy man we are ref e r r e d to the Oblate Boll of the 1st of John, in whic h i t i s s ai d that William, the third earl of that name , cal ls M arga re t his grandmother. Now here is the entr y refer red t o, i n wh ich you will find no such thing: " The Ear l of F errer s giv es two thousand marks for Hecham , Blidsw orth, a nd New bottle , that the King may forego a ll clai m to othe r land s which w ere William Peverel's, a nd the K ing give s to hi m the park o f Hecham, which th e Lord Henr y, his gr eat-gran dfather (tha t is, King Henr y II) gave i n exchang e to the a ncestors of W illiam Peve rel," Where i s Margaret ? Where an y mention of th e grand mother of th e Earl of Fer rers?
The next reference is to a plea-roll of the 25th of H e n r y I II, which certainly proves that some Earl of Ferr e r s as sume d a right of heirship to William Peverel, b u t b y no me ans h ints that it was in right of his wife , o r mak es any m entio n of Margaret. The words are remar kabl e. Th e Earl o f Ferrer s is therein stated to have ma de hi msel f heir of t he afores aid William Peverel, and t o hav e intr uded himsel f into th e same inheritance durin g th e war bet ween the Kin g and hi s barons. Now, we ar e tol d that one o f the earlies t acts o f Henry II in th e yea r after his acc ession, viz. , 1155, wa s to disinher it Wil liam Peverel, th e staunch sup porter of h is old ri val Ste phen, upon the op portune charg e of poisonin g th e Earl o f Chester, as befor e mentioned. H enry himsel f d oes not c harge him specifical ly with it, bu t the cau se is d istinc tly stated by the Chr onicon Roffense , th e register o f Du nstable, Matthew Paris , Matthew of Wes t minster, and Ger v ase of Dover, a goodl y array of highl y r espectable author i ties.
But how are we to reconcile this statement with the f a c t t h at Henry, before he ascended the throne, most pro ba bl y a t t he time of the pacification with Stephen in 1 152 , a nd c erta inly not later than 1153, in which year E ar l Eanu lph d ied , gave to this very Ranulph the man Pev ere l is ac cuse d of p oisoning, with other large estate s of h ostile n obles , the c astle and town of Nottingham , and th e whole f ee o f Willia m Peverel, wherever it wa s (with th e exceptio n o f Hecham) u nless he (William Pev erel) coul d acquit an d cle ar himself o f his wickednes s and treason ? Are we no t justi fied in belie ving, upo n the evidence o f this agree ment f or such is th e natur e of the instrume nt, which i s witnesse d by parties b ot h for Henry and Ran ulph, tha t Peverel wa s dispossess e d of his estates, no t for assist ing to poiso n the Ear l of C hester, for to th at very Ear l the estates a re giv en, but fo r wickedness a nd treason g enerally in pl ai n words, for su pporting Ste phen manfull y and faithful l y against Henry an d his mothe r.
Such was evidently the opinion of Sir Peter Leycest e r , w h o printed this important document at length in h i s "P role go mena," prefaced with these words, "How Rand a l Ear l of Ch est er was rewarded for taking part with He nr y Fitz -Empress , be ing yet but Duke of Normandy and Ea r l of Anjo u, may ap pea r by this deed following." No hi n t of its bei ng a compe nsat ion to him for injury inflic te d by Peverel.
And what was the punishment of the Countess Maud, the s u p p o sed accomplice of Peverel, and if so, the most culp a b l e o f the twain? She survived the Earl her husband ma n y y ea rs , and her name is associated with that of her s on , Hu g h Kev ilioc, in several acts of benevolence and p iet y, am on gst th em actually the purchase of absolutio n fo r her hu sba nd, wh o died excommunicated.
Hugh Kevilioc, who succeeded to his father's earldo m w i t h a ll his possessions, had a daughter named Agnes , wh o b ec am e the wife of William, second of that name , Ear l of F err er s and Derby, and thus it is clearly evi dent h ow tha t Ear l m ade himself heir of Peverel and int ruded h imsel f into t ha t inheritance, having purchased H echam o f the K ing, whic h h ad been excepted from the res t of th e fee o f Peverel i n th e grant of Henry Duke of N ormand y to Ranul ph Gernons , and c laiming heirship to th e estat es of Pever el, in righ t of hi s wife Agnes, siste r and co -heir of Ran ulph Blondev ille, Ea rl of Chester , the grand son of the gr antee, and no t throug h any marr iage with th is phantom Mar garet Peverel , no trac e of wh om has ever b een found in on e authentic do cument.
The reputed victim of Peverel's machinations is sai d b y K i n g, in his "Vale Royal," to have died after ling erin g i n a go nies, which I suspect to be an absurd trans latio n o f th e "p ost multos agones" of Gervase of Dover .
