Notes par WILLIAM II PEVEREL

"William, the younger, was one of the principal supporters of King Stephen, and a commander at the battle of the Standard. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Lincoln, and his estates were forfeited for a time and his castle of Nottingham committed by the Empress to the custody of William Paynel, the latter which he recovered in 1143.

He was twice married, first to Odonna, and secondly to Avice de Lancaster, presumably a daughter of Roger the Poitevin. He is said to have poisoned the Earl of Chester, and escaped persecution by retiring to one of his religious foundations, perhaps Lenton, where he became a monk.

He left two children, a son Henry, and daughter Margaret, wife of Robert, Earl Ferrieres. Margaret is believed to have been his daughter by first wife, Odonna. The claim that he also had a daughter, Helen (who married William Fitz Alan), by second wife Avice, is unfounded, and most sources, including Eyton, say that Helen is "fictitious" and was concocted to explain the vast Shropshire holdings of the Fitz Alans."

William "the Younger" Peverel (c. 1080-1155) was the son of William Peverel. He lived in Nottingham, England.

He married Avicia de Lancaster (1088 - c. 1150) in La Marche, Normandy, France. She was the daughter of William de Lancaster I and Countess Gundred de Warenne, daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. In 1114, she bore a daughter, Margaret Peverel. Another member of his family, Maude Peverel (a sister or daughter) was - by 1120 - the first wife of Robert fitz Martin.

William inherited the Honour of Peverel.

He was a principal supporter of King Stephen, and a commander in the Battle of the Standard. He was captured at The Battle of Lincoln.

King Henry II dispossessed William of the Honour, for conspiring to poison the Earl of Chester - though historians speculate that the King wished to punish him for his 'wickedness and treason' in supporting King Stephen. The Earl died before he took possession of the Honour, and it stayed in the Crown for about a half century

The claim has been made that William Peverel was a bastard son of William the Conqueror. The source for this is an old pedigree in which Peverel appears to have been added to the family of William. There is no other documentation which presents a relationship supporting Peverel's placement as a royal bastard (there are a few grants from the king, but there is no indication that these represent anything special). In addition, William had no other documented bastards, which suggests that if he did have any, he didn't bother keeping track of them. The more recent authors that I have seen have tended not to favor such a relationship as being accurate.

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

Complete Peerage, Appendix I.

William Peverel the younger, one of the principal supportors of KING STEPHEN, was a commander at the Battle of the Standard and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln. His estates were forfeited for a time, and his castle of Nottingham was committed by THE EMPRESS [MAUD] to William Paynel. He recovered it in 1143. His wives were Odonna and AVICE DE LANCASTRIA, who was presumably a daughter of Count Roger the Poitevin (cognomine Pictaviensis), Lord of the honour of Lancaster, by his wife Aumodis, Countess of La Marche. He had a son Henry, and a daughter, Margaret, eventually, or in her issue, his heir, and a wife of Robert, Earl of Ferrers.

About March 1152/3 HENRY, Duke of Normandy [the future King HENRY II] and count of Anjou, by a charter expedited at Devizes, formulated what he was prepared to give to [RANULF DE GERNON] the Earl of Chester, as the price of his support; not indeed, even to the half of the kingdom, but yet no inconsiderable portion of it. It ought to be unnecessary to have to state that these extensive grants never took effect. Nine months afterwards, in Dec. 1153, THE EARL died, poisoned, as men said, by William Peverel.

Shortly after his accession to the throne, KING HENRY II visited Nottinghamshire, in order, as the annalists state, to disinherit William Peverel for having poisoned THE EARL, but more probably to punish him for what had previously been termed his wickedness and treason. William, on THE KING's approach, retired to one of his religious foundations where he became a monk. The honor of Peverel remained in the Crown for nearly half a century.

The following information was contained in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann AT yaoo.com:
Peverel, William. Perhaps illegitimate son of William I by his mistress; took name of Peverel from stepfather who married her. Large holdings in Notts. and Derby. Also in 6 other counties. [Ref: Domesday Online: http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/index.html]

Of Willelm Peurel (sic) de Nottingham, Keats-Rohan has this to say: Norman, major tenant-in-chief centred upon Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. There is no direct evidence of any relationship with Ranulf Peverel . . . but it is highly likely that they were related and possibly quite closely. . . . By his wife Adeline he had issue two sons named William of whom one predeceased him and a daughter Adeliz . . . died 1113/4 . . . on the honour of Peverel see HKF i, 146ff.
