Biography
Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley (Chartley, Staffordshire, 25 March 1309 – 28 August 1350), was the son of John de Ferrers, 1st Baron Ferrers of Chartley and Hawise de Muscegros, a daughter of Robert de Muscegros.[1]
He inherited the title Baron Ferrers of Chartley upon his brother's death in 1324 and was summoned to parliament on 25 February 1342.
Robert served frequently in the Scottish and French wars of Edward III as well as participating the victory at Cressy.[2]
Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley, died on the 28 August 1350.[2]
Marriage
Before 20 October 1333, he married a woman named Margaret. They had one son, John who succeeded his father as John de Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Chartley.[2] A marriage date of 21 November 1324 in Caldecot, Northumberland, England has been cited without a source.[citation needed]
After the death of Margaret, Robert remarried to Joan de la Mote before 1350. They had one son, Sir Robert Ferrers, summoned to parliament as the 4th Baron Boteler of Wem Jure uxoris through his marriage to Elizabeth Boteler, 4th Baroness Boteler of Wem, by whom he had Robert Ferrers, 5th Baron Boteler of Wem.[2]
Richardson identifies his 2nd wife as Joan de Buckland, widow of Edward de la Moat, and daughter of William de Buckland.[3]
Cocayne (1890) says he was said to have married Agnes de Bohun, but her existence seems doubtful.[4]
