Notes:

Walkelin Seigneur de FerriÃ¨res, seigneur de FerriÃ¨res-Saint-Hilaire Walkeline or Gaucheline de FerriÃ¨res (d.c. 1040), 11th century Seigneur of FerriÃ¨res-Saint-Hilaire and father of Henry de Ferrers and forefather of the Ferrers family of England. He was killed when he engaged in a feud or battle with Hugh de Montfort aka "Barbatus" and both were killed, c. 1040. Wace, in his Chronicle of the Norman Conquest (1160); [Edgar Taylors 1837 translation, p. 8], writes: "A mighty feud broke out between Walkelin de Ferrieres[1], and Hugh Lord of Montfort[2]; I know not which was right and which wrong; but they waged fierce war with each other, and were not to be reconciled; neither by bishop nor lord could peace or love be established between them. Both were good knights, bold and brave. Once upon a time they met, and the rage of each against the other was so great that they fought to the death. I know not which carried himself most gallantly, or who fell the first, but the issue of the affray was that Hugh was slain, and Walkelin fell also; both lost their lives in the same affray, and on the same day." A location for the feud is not provided. http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3D-K.htm Ch. 7 Ferrers WALKELIN de FerriÃ¨res, son of --- (-killed in battle [1035/45]).
