!Bastard child of William the Conqueror.  Obtained a liberal grant of property and lordships in Derbyshire and became the erector of that Gothic fortress, which hanging over the mouth of the Devil's Cavern, gives the name of Castleton to the adjacent village.  From the feudal Baron, who chose his nest upon the principles on which an eagle selects his eyry, and built it in such a fashion, as if he had intended it, as the Irishman said of the Martello towers, for the sole purpose of puzzling posterity, there was descended an opulent family of
knightly rank, in the same county of Derby.  [The Roll of Battle Abbey]

!He and Randle de Gernous' wife poisoned Randle.  Lord of Notts. [The Bruces and the Cumyns, p. 513]

Son of Maud and William the Conqueror; m. Adelina de Lancaster. [Falaise Roll, Table IV]

Alice was his co-heir (may not be her father). [Falaise Roll, p. 46]

Generally conceded to have been a natural son of Duke William by Maud, a dau. of Ingleric, an Anglo-Saxon nobleman. He was probably at Senlac. In 1068 he was in charge of the newly built castle of Nottingham, and at the compilation of Domesday was the possessor of 162 manors in England, including the honor and forest of the Peak in Derbyshire, besides 69 houses and cottages in Nottingham alone. In 1075 he witnessed the foundation charter of Sele Abbey, Sussex, by William de Braiose. [Falaise Roll, p. 49]

Peveril Castle was founded soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066 by one of King William's most trusted knights, William Peverel, on a site of remarkable natural strength. It had an important role in guarding the Peak Forest lead-mining area. He was given charge of the royal manors in the Peak, an area strategically important as a buffer zone south of the wilder country of the Pennines and Cumbria. Sufficiently trusted was Peverel that he was given land in his own right, formerly belonging to two Saxons, Gernebern and Hundine, to enable him to build a castle. By 1086, when the Domesday book was written, the castle was up. In 1114, on Peverel's death, the castle passed with the rest of his estate, by now very extensive, and including a castle larger than this at Bolsover near Chesterfield, to his son William. [Peveril Castle, pp. 1, 18-19]
