• Notes

  He was an English Nobleman and head of a family which controlled a large part of Derbyshire including an arena known as Duffield Firth. He received his title in 1247 on the death of his father. He had accompanied King Henry to France in 1230 and sat in parliament in-London in that same year. He suffered from gout from his youth and always traveled in a litter. He was accidentally thrown from his litter into water, while crossing a bridge at St Neots, in Huntingdon and although he escaped immediate death, he never recovered from the effects of the accident. When William was born his father was 31. His mother was 13. (Source: Geni.com)
