Notes about William IV de Ferrers 4th Earl of Derby

Earl of Derby

=====================

E: to Carol Middleton, Bassano and Lanier Genealogist.htm

LifeNotes: He was 6th Earl of Derby. Took arms on behalf of Richard I upon the King's return from captivity. Joined the Earl of Chester in the successful seige of Nottingham Castle. Was given a seat on the great coucil at Nottingham as reward. Furthermore, he was honored as one of the 4 persons to carry the canopy over the King Richard's head at the second coronation. When King John came to the throne, William joined the Earl of Chester, the Earl of Clare and others in swearing fealty to the new king, on the condition that every person should have his right. William attended the coronation of King John. He was created Earl of Derby soon after. He was "girt with a sword by the king's own hands (being the first of whom in any charter that expression was used)." Was granted 1 penny out of three of the fees paid the sheriff. Was given for the sum of 4000 marks, the manor at Higham-Ferrers, Northampton Co, with the hundred and park, plus the manors of Bliseworth and Newbottle, in the same shire; which were part of the lands of his great grandfather, William Peverel, of Nottingham. Additionally King John also conferred upon him a mansion-house, situated in the parish of St. Margaret, within the city of London, which had belonged to Isaac, a Jew, at Norwich, "to hold by the service of waiting upon the king (the earl and his heirs), at all festivals yearly, without any cap, but with a garland of the breadth of his little finger upon his head." Thus William de Ferrers maintained allegiance to the King for his life and after that King died, the loyalty went to King Henry II. William assisted at the coronation of Henry II and immediately after Easter, took part with William Marshall (governor of the king and the kingdom), the Earls of Chester and Albemarle, and others in the siege of Mountsorell Castle, in Leicestershire, then held by Henry de Braybroke, and ten other knights. And the same year, was likewise with those nobles at raising the siege of Lincoln, which place the rebellious barons with Louis, King of France, had invested. Born about 1162, Ferrers, Derbyshire, England Married: about 1192, Cheshire, England; Died of gout 9/22/1247 Parents: William de Ferrers and Sybyl (-?)
