| Notes |
- Complete Peerage, Appendix I.
William Peverel the younger, one of the principal supportors of KING STEPHEN, was a commander at the Battle of the Standard and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln. His estates were forfeited for a time, and his castle of Nottingham was committed by THE EMPRESS [MAUD] to William Paynel. He recovered it in 1143. His wives were Odonna and AVICE DE LANCASTRIA, who was presumably a daughter of Count Roger the Poitevin (cognomine Pictaviensis), Lord of the honour of Lancaster, by his wife Aumodis, Countess of La Marche. He had a son Henry, and a daughter, Margaret, eventually, or in her issue, his heir, and a wife of Robert, Earl of Ferrers.
About March 1152/3 HENRY, Duke of Normandy [the future King HENRY II] and count of Anjou, by a charter expedited at Devizes, formulated what he was prepared to give to [RANULF DE GERNON] the Earl of Chester, as the price of his support; not indeed, even to the half of the kingdom, but yet no inconsiderable portion of it. It ought to be unnecessary to have to state that these extensive grants never took effect. Nine months afterwards, in Dec. 1153, THE EARL died, poisoned, as men said, by William Peverel.
Shortly after his accession to the throne, KING HENRY II visited Nottinghamshire, in order, as the annalists state, to disinherit William Peverel for having poisoned THE EARL, but more probably to punish him for what had previously been termed his wickedness and treason. William, on THE KING's approach, retired to one of his religious foundations where he became a monk. The honor of Peverel remained in the Crown for nearly half a century.

-------------------
The following information was contained in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yaoo.com:
of Nottingham, the younger; one of the chief supporters of King Stephen [Ref: Watney #779]
1137: a commander at the battle of The Standard [Ref: Watney #779]
Peverel, William. Perhaps illegitimate son of William I by his mistress; took name of Peverel from stepfather who married her. Large holdings in Notts. and Derby. Also in 6 other counties. [Ref: Domesday Online: http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/index.html]
Of Willelm Peurel (sic) de Nottingham, Keats-Rohan has this to say: Norman, major tenant-in-chief centred upon Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. There is no direct evidence of any relationship with Ranulf Peverel . . . but it is highly likely that they were related and possibly quite closely. . . . By his wife Adeline he had issue two sons named William of whom one predeceased him and a daughter Adeliz . . . died 1113/4 . . . on the honour of Peverel see HKF i, 146ff.

[Note: the above text from CP, Appendix I (as transcribed by Jim Stevens) was attached here, with several omissions and mistakes. I have corrected the text to agree with what is stated in CP and placed it above.]
Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Derby, p. 192), identifies him as MARGARET's father. [Ref: Jim Stevens: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jast/index.html] Note: I have removed Jim's "RIN" (ID #'s) from the above & there are several sentences that may have been miscopied/reworded as they don't make sense = see where I have added (sic)...
