Notes for William Peverel I
31
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Peverel
William Peverel , was a Norman knight said to have fought in the Battle of Hastings.
William's mother seems to have been a Saxon named Maud, daughter of the noble Ingelric. She was married to one Ranulph Peverel, from whom William took his name. Historically, it had been claimed that he was actually the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror, but this cannot be supported by the historical record.[1]
William married Adelina of Lancaster, who bore him a daughter Adeliza, born circa 1075, and a son, also named William, born circa 1080.
Etymology
"Peverel" which comes from the latin name "Piperellus" derived from the diminutive latin "piper" which means "pepper". Starting from the Latin root "pǐpĕr" is the word "peivre" in Old Normand, also means "pepper", but there is also the form slang that means "angry, irascible, aggressive, atrabilarious, angry, fulminant, furious, fractious, anxious, irritable, stormy, touchy", which gave, the surnames following "Peiverel, Pevrel, Peivrel" . [For more ample information, see Placenames]
Lands in England
Whatever his paternity, William Peverel was a favourite of the Conqueror. He was greatly honoured after the Norman Conquest, receiving over a hundred holdings in central England from the king. In 1086, the Domesday Book records William as holding substantial land , collectively called the Honour of Peverel, in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, including Nottingham Castle.[2][3]
Family
Maud and Ranulph's known legitimate son, also Ranulph, was almost as well favoured by the king as William was. He was granted 64 manors in Nottingham, although these were later taken from his family by Henry II for their support of Stephen against the Empress Matilda. The baronial family of the Peverels descend from Ranulph, not William.
After his first wife had died. William's son, William Peverel the Younger, married Avice de Lancaster, daughter of Roger of Poitou, Earl of Lancaster.
Beryl Platts has suggested that the Peverels in Normandy derive in fact from Flanders.[4]
