Sir Edmund Ferrers of Chartley, age 26 in 1413, d. 17 Dec 1435; m. Ellen, daughter of Thomas Roche of Castle Bromwich, co. Worcs., d. 4 Nov 1440 (she m. (2) as 1st wife, Sir Philip Chetwynd). [Ancestral Roots]

Note: I believe that Castle Bromwich was in Warwickshire. The "county" is now called something like Birmingham, West Midlands, since the 1974 reorganization. Warwickshire is confirmed by CP below.

BARONY OF FERRERS OF CHARTLEY (CP doesn't give numbers/recognize the title?)

SIR EDMUND FERRERS, of Chartley, &c., usually called LORD FERRERS OF CHARTLEY, son and heir, by 2nd wife, aged 26 and more, or 27 and more, at his father's death. The King took his homage and fealty, and he had livery of his father's lands, 14 April 1413. Soon afterwards, assisted by his brothers, Thomas and Edward, he carried on a sort of private war with the Erdeswikes of Sandon, near Chartley: both parties petitioned Parliament in 2 Henry V, each claiming to be the one aggrieved. In consequence of these and many other lawless occurrences, the King accompanied Chief justice Hankeford to cos. Leicester, Stafford, and Salop, to hear plaints in person. Edmund had been presented for having, on Christmas Day 1413, given liveries of green and white cloth--3 yards apiece--to many persons not of his household: he appeared before the King in Court in June 1414, and eventually obtained a pardon, 24 January 1414/5, for all treasons, murders, and other offences committed up to 8 December, saving murders if any-committed after 19 November, 1414. He accompanied the King to France in August 1415, and was at the siege of Harfleur, August to September, at the battle of Agincourt, 25 October 1415, and at the relief of Harfleur by the Duke of Bedford, August 1416. He accompanied the King to France in August 1417, and was at the siege of Rouen, July 1418 to January 1418/9, being in the division commanded by the Earl of Huntingdon: at that of Melun, July to November 1420, and at that of Meaux, October 1421 to May 1422.

He married Ellen, 2nd daughter and coheir of Thomas Roche, of Castle Bromwich, co. Warwick, by Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas BIRMINGEHAM, and niece and heir of Sir John BIRMINGEHAM, of Birmingham, co. Warwick, Kingston Bagpuze, Berks, &c. They had livery of that portion of her inheritance which Elizabeth, Lady Clinton, formerly wife of the said Sir John Birmingeham, had held in dower or otherwise, 1 December 1423. He died 17 December 1435. His widow's dower was ordered to be assigned, 7 February 1435/6, the manor of Castle Bromwich, and the moieties of the manors of Whitacre and Birmingham, which he had held in her right as of her inheritance, having been liberated to her, 4 February 1435 /6. She had licence to marry whom she would, for a fine of ?40, 28 August 1436. She married, 2ndly, as 1st wife, before 3 May 1438, Sir Philip CHETEWYND, of Ingestre, co. Stafford, and Grendon, co. Warwick. She died 4 November 1440. He died 10 May 1444. [Complete Peerage V:317-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Edmund married Ellen De LA ROCHE, Heiress Of Bromwich in 1st Husband. Ellen was born about 1393 in Castle Bromwich, Warwickshire, England; died on 4 Nov 1440 in Nether Whitacre, Meriden, Warwickshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The author wishes to thank the Rev. Canon R. Brien Koehler for information he sent to resolve the question regarding generation 10, above (ie. marriage of Thomas Greene & Philippa de Ferrers). [Editor not fully satisfied with this conclusion]. [Magna Charta Sureties, line 34-17]

Note: Obviously with a death date of 3 Nov 1415 (which happens to be exactly the same as her mother's), this marriage did not last very long (husband Thomas wasn't born until 1400). I don't know whether MCS was questioning the marriage, the death date, or what? MCS was not fully satisfied with something. Ancestral Roots does not give any death date for Philippa; however they do say she is "buried at Norton". A large number of people on World Connect have Philippa's death in 1457/8.

Philippa married Thomas GREENE, Sheriff Of Northampton, Sir in 1st Wife. Thomas (son of Thomas GREENE, Sheriff Of Northampton, Sir Knt and Lady Mary TALBOT, of Blakemere) was born on 10 Feb 1399-1400 in Greene's Norton, Northamptonshire, England; died on 18 Jan 1461-1462.

BARONY OF FERRERS OF CHARTLEY (CP doesn't give numbers/recognize the title?)

SIR WILLIAM FERRERS, of Chartley, &c., frequently called LORD FERRERS, son and heir, aged 23 and more at his father's death. The King took his homage and fealty, and he had livery of his father's lands, 9 February 1435/6. On 18 December 1440, he had livery of the manor of Keyston, and obtained that of Bugbrooke, both of which his mother had held in dower.

He married Elizabeth, daughter of Hamon BEALKNAP, of Seintlynge in St. Mary Cray, Kent, Knell, Sussex, &c., by Joan, younger daughter and, in her issue, coheir of Sir Thomas BOTELER, of Sudeley, co. Gloucester. He died s.p.m., 9 June 1450. His widow's dower was ordered to be assigned, 12 November 1450: on the same day the King took her fealty, and the manors, which she and her husband had held jointly, were liberated to her. In May 1455 she conveyed to feoffes the manors she held for life, in dower or otherwise. She died 28 May 1471. [Complete Peerage V:320-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

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]

-----------------------

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.

Anna married Sir. Walter IV DEVEREUX, Baron before 26 Nov 1446 in <, Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, Wales>. Walter (son of Sir. Walter III DEVEREUX, Knight and Lady Elizabeth MERBURY, Heiress Of Kinnersley) was born in 1432 in Bodenham, Leominster, Herefordshire, England; died on 23 Aug 1485 in Battle Of Bosworth Field, Leicestershire, England; was buried in 1485 in Bosworth Battlefield Grave Pits, Dadlington, Leicestershire, England.
