  === Life Sketch ===
  Robert II de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby (c. 1100 – 1162) was a younger, but eldest surviving son of Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby and his wife Hawise. He succeeded his father as Earl of Derby in 1139 (William, his elder brother, having been murdered in London some time before). He was head of a family which controlled a large part of Derbyshire including an area later known as Duffield Frith.
  
  Life
  Little is known of Robert's life, other than his generosity to the church. In 1148, he established Merevale Abbey in Warwickshire, England, where he requested to be buried in an ox hide.
  He founded the Priory of Derby, which later moved to Darley Abbey, and its Abbot was granted many privileges in Duffield Forest and Chase.
  He continued his father's attempts to play a role in the civil war commonly called The Anarchy that arose because of the contesting claims of Empress Matilda and Stephen of England. The family's support for Stephen led to him being awarded the revenues of the Borough of Derby in 1139, though in 1149 Stephen then granted the Borough to the Earl of Chester.
  He finally threw in his lot with the future Henry II after Tutbury Castle was besieged in 1153. However, when Henry came to the throne in 1154, he withdrew de Ferrers' right to use the title of Earl or to receive the "third penny" on the profits of the county.
  
  Family and death
  Around 1135, he married Margaret Peverell, and had at least one son and one daughter.
  
  He died in 1162 and was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers, 3rd Earl of Derby. The stone effigies of Robert and his wife, Margaret Peverel, lie in the gatehouse chapel of Merevale Abbey, near the village of Atherstone.

  === Background information concerning the Ferrers family of Derbyshire and the Earls of Derby ===
  As is evidenced from the many entries and notes that have been added to FamilySearch.org by researchers, it is very apparent that much confusion exists in records concerning The Ferrers family of Derbyshire and the Earls of Derby. Even the most ancient available records do not seem to agree in all of the particulars concerning the pedigree of this family. It appears the most reliable record concerning the Ferrers family is found in Burke’s Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages which gives the pedigree of the family as follows: Walkelin (also Walcheline and Vauquelin) de Ferrers, father of Henry de Ferrers (who accompanied William the Conqueror to England), father of Robert de Ferrers the First Earl of Derby, father of Robert de Ferrers the Second Earl of Derby, father of William de Ferrers the Third Earl of Derby, father of Robert de Ferrers the Fourth Earl of Derby, father of William de Ferrers the Fifth Earl of Derby, etc. However, The Battle Abbey Roll by the Duchess Cleveland gives a slightly different pedigree as follows: Walkelin de Ferrers, father of Henry de Ferrers, father of Robert de Ferrers the First Earl of Derby, father of Robert de Ferrers the Earl of Nottingham and Derby, grandfather of the Fourth Earl (Third Earl [William] is missing and the Fourth Earl is unnamed), father of the next Earl William (Fifth Earl), etc.
  Much of the confusion appears to center around the fact that all the Ferrers, Earls of Derby, are named Robert or William all the way to the Sixth or the Seventh Earl when the creation of Earl of Derby with Ferrers holding the title went extinct, only to be recreated later with a different family, and it appears many records have missed a generation or have combined two different generations of the same name. Thus, it is also very understandable that confusion exists as to the identities of the wives of the different Earls of Derby, if the names of the wives exist at all in the records. For example, Margaret Peverel is reported in various records as the wife of three of the Earls of Derby: Robert de Ferrers the Second Earl, William de Ferrers the Third Earl and William de Ferrers the Fifth Earl. Burke’s Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages lists Margaret Peverel as the wife of William de Ferrers the Third Earl. The Battle Abbey Roll appears to agree stating: “…William, the next Earl (William the Fifth Earl), was the partisan and favourite of King John, and received vast grants of lands; amonst them the great Northamptonshire estates of William Peverel, whose daughter and heir had, says Dugdale, married his grandfather (William the Third Earl)…” Other records, however, question the very existence of Margaret Peverel, even referring to her as the “Phantom Margaret”.
  Following both the much older Burke’s Dormant, Abeyant,Forfeited and Extinct Peerages and the Duchess Cleveland’s Battle Abbey Roll, I have elected to place Margaret Peverel as the wife of William de Ferrers, Third Earl of Derby, instead of making her the wife of Robert de Ferrers, the Second Earl, or the wife of William de Ferrers the Fifth Earl. Some additional modern information concerning the Ferrers pedigree from online encyclopedias follows, noting that the information does not always align with Burke’s Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages or Cleveland’s Battle Abbey Roll:
  “Earl of Derby is a title in the Peerage of England. The title was first adopted by Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby, under a creation of 1139. It continued with the Ferrers family until the 6th Earl forfeited his property toward the end of the reign of Henry III and died in 1279.Most of the Ferrers property and (by a creation in 1337) the Derby title were then held by the family of Henry III. The title merged in the Crown upon Henry IV's accession to the throne in 1399…
  “Ferrières in Normandy, the hometown of the de Ferrers family, was an important centre for iron (French: fer) and takes its name from the iron ore mines used during the Gallo-Roman period. Lord of Longueville, Normandy, and a Domesday Commissioner; he built Tutbury Castle and Duffield Castle and had large holdings in Derbyshire as well as 17 other counties. The Ferrers, lords of the barony of Ferrières in Normandy, were accompanied to England by three other families who were their underlords in France: the Curzons (Notre Dame-de-Courson), the Baskervilles (Boscherville) and the Levetts (Livet-en-Ouche).
  “Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Ferrières (1062–1139) was created Earl of Derby by King Stephen in 1138 for his valiant conduct at the Battle of Northallerton. He was married to Hawise de Vitre and died in 1139.
  “His son Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby (?–bef.1160) became the next earl and was married to Margaret Peverel. He founded Darley Abbey and Merevale Abbey.
  “His son William de Ferrers, 3rd Earl of Derby (died 1190) was married to Sybil de Braose. He rebelled against King Henry II and was imprisoned at Caen, Normandy. He died in the Crusades at the Siege of Acre.
  “He was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers, 4th Earl of Derby (died 1247) who married Agnes de Kevelioc (also known as Agnes of Chester), daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc, 3rd Earl of Chester.
  “He was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby (died 1254) who married Sibyl Marshall and then Margaret de Quincy with whom he had his son and heir Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby (1239–1279),who became the next Earl.
  “He rebelled against King Henry III and was arrested and imprisoned first in the Tower of London, then in Windsor Castle and Wallingford Castle, and in 1266 his lands and earldom were forfeited, including Tutbury Castle which still belongs to the Duchy of Lancaster. Through one line the descent of the Earls of Derby eventually gave rise to the Earls Ferrers. Laurence Shirley, 4th Earl Ferrers, was the only peer of the realm to be hanged for murder. Another familial line takes in the Baron Ferrers of Chartley descent…”
  ~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Derby
  “William I de Ferrers, 3rd Earl of Derby (died 1190) was a 12th-century English Earl who resided in Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire and was head of a family which controlled a large part of Derbyshire known as Duffield Frith. He was also a Knight Templar.
  “William was the son of Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby and his wife, Margaret Peverel. He succeeded his father as Earl of Derby in1162. He was married to Sybil, the daughter of William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber and Bertha of Hereford.
  “William de Ferrers was one of the earls who joined the rebellion against King Henry II of England led by Henry's eldest son, Henry the Younger, in the Revolt of 1173–1174, sacking the town of Nottingham. Robert de Ferrers II, his father, had supported Stephen of England and, although Henry II had accepted him at court, he had denied the title of earl of Derby to him and his son. In addition, William had a grudge against Henry because he believed he should have inherited the lands of Peveril Castle through his mother. These, King Henry had previously confiscated in 1155 when William Peverel fell into disfavour.
  “With the failure of the revolt, de Ferrers was taken prisoner by King Henry, at Northampton on the 31 July 1174, along with the King of Scots and the earls of Chester and Lincoln, along with a number of his Derbyshire underlings and was held at Caen. He was deprived of his castles at Tutbury and Duffield and both were put out of commission (and possibly Pilsbury.) In addition to defray the costs of the war Henry levied a so-called "Forest Fine" of 200 marks.
  “He seems to have afterwards regained the confidence of Henry II., and he showed his fidelity to the next Sovereign, (King Richard I.), by accompanying him in his expedition to the Holy Land, and joined the Third Crusade and died at the Siege of Acre in 1190.
  He was succeeded by his son William de Ferrers, 4th Earl of Derby.”
