Web Notes notes for William PEVEREL Lord Of Nottingham
From Appendix I (Peverel of Nottingham, pp.762-768) of V.4 of Cokayne's "Complete Peerage":
William Peverel the younger, one of the principal supporters 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 LANCASTER. About March 1152/3 HENRY, Duke of Normandy [the future King HENRY II] and count of Anjou, by a charter expedited at Devizes, was prepared to give to RANULF DE GERNAM the Earl of Chester, as the price of his support; not indeed, even the half of the kingdom, but yet no inconsiderable portion of it. 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. Two children are attributed to William by Cokayne - Henry, and his heiress, MARGARET. Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Derby, p. 192), identifies him as MARGARET's father.
