• Notes

  He married, 1stly, Elizabeth, widow of John, 4th LORD FFRRERS of Chartley (who died 2 April 1367), and before that of Fulk (LE STRANGE), LORD STRANGE (of Blackmere), daughter of Ralph (DE STAFFORD), 1st EARL OF STAFFORD, by Margaret, daughter and heir of Hugh (D'AUDLEY), EARL OF GLOUCESTER. She died 7 August 1376. [Complete Peerage III:353-4, XIV:196, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] Note: the death date for Elizabeth de Stafford given above, "7 Aug 1376", does not agree with CP V:314 and AR, line 61-33, which give "7 Aug 1375". As the 1375 date is supported by a note (g) in V:314, I assume the 1376 date is a misprint. -------------------- He [John de Ferrers] married (royal licence, 1 October 1349) Elizabeth, daughter of Ralph (De STAFFORD), EARL OF STAFFORD, by his 2nd wife, Margaret, daughter and heir of Hugh (DAUDELEYE), EARL of GLOUCEST-ER.

Sir John de Ferrers died beyond seas, 2 or 3 April, being, probably, slain at the battle of Najera, 3 April 1367. The manors, which he and his wife had held jointly at his death, and those held in her right of which she had been jointly enfeoffed with her 1st husband, were liberated to her, 24 June and 20 August 1367. She married, 3rdly, as 1st wife, Sir Reynold DE COBEHAM, of Sterborough, Surrey [Lord COBEHAM]. She died 7 August 1375.
