  • Notes 
    • Anne Ferrers, b. Nov 1438, d. 9 Jan 1468/9; m. as (1) wife, Sir Walter Devereux, Lord Ferrers, age 27 in 1459, killed at Bosworth 22 Aug 1485 and attainted. [Ancestral Roots]

      -----------------------
      Birth of child at early age - NOT a mistake, as several records confirm early age she gave birth to children.

      He [Walter Devereux] married, 1stly, before 26 November 1446, Anne, daughter and heir of Sir William DE FERRERS, of Chartley, by Elizabeth, his wife. On 17 March 1452/3 they had a grant that they might have livery of her father's lands, without proof of her age, she being then aged 14 and more: on 20 March following they had livery of her inheritance in cos. Oxon, Berks, Hunts, Stafford, and the city of London, the fealty of Walter being ordered to be taken by the escheator in cos. Oxon and Berks.

      His 1st wife, the said Anne, who was aged 11 years and 8 months in July 1450, died 9 January 1468/9, aged 30. [Complete Peerage V:321-5, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

      Note: CP doesn't state that Anne was a Baroness, as other sources indicate (though perhaps incorrectly). CP apparently doesn't recognize any of the titles of Anne's ancestors after the 1st Baron, John Ferrers, as they make Anne's husband (Walter Devereux) the 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley (but number it as a new creation, not inherited from Anne, but then why did they name Walter "Baron Ferrers" if not inherited from Anne?). CP does this even though several of Anne's ancestors were known as "Lord Ferrers of Chartley", and the title of Baron is hereditary.
