  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “*RALPH LE BIGOD, Knt., of Settrington, Yorkshire, younger son. He married after 1240 BERTHA DE FERRERS,* widow of Thomas de Furnival (living 1240), of Sheffield, Yorkshire, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, etc. [see FURNIVAL 8], and daughter of William de Ferrers, 4th Earl of Derby, by Agnes, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see FERRERS 6 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt. Sometime after 1240 he released a messuage in Thorne and Baine, Yorkshire to his half-brother, John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, which messuage he evidently had by gift of his mother. In 1248 he carried his mother's body to Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire for burial. In 1259 he was fined 40 marks by the king for a hunting transgression. SIR RALPH LE BIGOD died testate shortly before 28 July 1260. His widow, Bertha, was living 1278/9, when she was fined 40s. She was buried at Grey Friars in Dunwich, Suffolk.
  (* Note: The maiden name and parentage of Bertha de Ferrers, wife successively of Thomas de Furnival (living 1240) and Ralph le Bigod (died 1260), has been overlooked in most modem sources, such as C.P. 5 (1926): 580 (sub Furnivalle). Dugdale refers to fines dated 54 Henry III [1269-70] to show that Bertha, widow of Thomas de Furnival, married (2nd) Ralph le Bigod [see Hunter Hallamshire (1819): 34-35]. Bertha's correct parentage was first noted in Bridges Hist. of Northampton 1 (1791): 485, followed by Baker Hist. of Northampton 1 (1822-1830): 122-123.)
