Henry de Ferrieres, Sire de Ferrières and Chambrais in Normandy (d), sonof Walkelin de Ferrieres (e). He was a Domesday Commissioner, and held atthe date of the Survey some 210 lordships or manors, more than half ofwhich were in co. Derby, but the caput of his honour was at Tutbury, thenin the district of Burton-on-Trent, co. Stafford. Near Tutbury he foundeda priory for benedictine monks. He married Bertha. He was buried atTutbury. [Complete Peerage IV:190-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(d) Ferrieres and Chambrais (now Broglie), on the Charantonne, in thechief iron-producing district of Normandy. The workers of iron, in thisprovince, were under the jurisdiction of six barons 'fossiers'; thesewere the barons of Ferrieres, La Ferte Fresnel, and Chaumont, and theabbots of Lyre, St. Wandrille, and St. Evroul. The barons of Ferriereswere style 'premiers barons fossiers', which shows that the forges theyhad charge of were esteemed the principal, or most ancient. The popular story that Henry de Ferrieres "received his surname from holding the office of master of the farriers in the invading army" is therefore only the truth--a little distorted. Whether the English branch of the family in the twelth century bore, as the heralds say they did, Sable, sixhorse-shoes Argent (or the same with the tinctures reversed), or whether they bore any arms at all, is another question.
(e) This Walkelin was slain in the civil wars which distracted Normandy during the minority of Duke William.
---------------
Henry Ferrers, son of Walchelin, assumed the name from Ferriers, a smalltown of Gastinois, in France, otherwise called Ferrieres, from the ironmines with which that country abounded, and, in allusion to thecircumstance, he bore for his arms "six horses' shoes," either from thesimilitude of his cognomen to the French Ferrier, or because theseigneurie produced iron, so essential to the soldier and cavalier inthose rude times when war was esteemed the chief business of life, andthe adroit management of the steed, even amongst the nobility, the firstof accomplishments. Henry de Ferrers came into England with the Conquerorand obtained a grant of Tutbury Castle, in the county of Stafford.According to Stapleton, he was ancestor of the Oakham house of Ferrers,whose memory is preserved by the horseshoes hanging in the hall of theircastle. He m. Bertha -----, and had issue, Robert, his heir; Eugenulph,who d. s. p.; and Walkelin, of Radbourne. [John Burke, Commoners of GreatBritain and Ireland, Vol. III, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 127,Ferrers, of Baddesley Clinton]
---------------
The first of this eminent family that settled in England was Henry deFeriers, son of Walcheline de Feriers, a Norman, who obtained fromWilliam the Conqueror a grant of Tutbury Castle, co. Stafford, withextensive possessions in other shires, of which 114 manors were inDerbyshire. This person must have been of considerable rank, not onlyfrom these enormous grants, but from the circumstances of his being oneof the commissioners appointed by the Conqueror to make the great surveyof the kingdom. He was the founder of the Cluniac priory at Tutbury whichhe liberally endowed. By Berta his wife he had issue, Egenulph, d. v. p.;William, d. v. p.; Robert, his successor; Gundred; and Emmeline.
