William "The Younger" Peverel , of Nottingham 
William "The Younger" was born in 1080 in Nottingham Castle, Nottinghamshire, England.1 William "The Younger"'s father was William "The Elder" Peverel , of Nottingham and his mother was Adeline. He had two sisters named Adelise and Maud. He was the second oldest of the three children. He had a half-sister named Maud. He died at the age of 75 in 1155 in Bourn, Cambridgeshire, England.General Notes
Complete Peerage, Appendix I.
William Peverel the younger, one of the principal supportors of KINGSTEPHEN, was a commander at the Battle of the Standard and was takenprisoner at the Battle of Lincoln. His estates were forfeited for a time,and his castle of Nottingham was committed by THE EMPRESS [MAUD] toWilliam Paynel. He recovered it in 1143. His wives were Odonna and AVICEDE LANCASTRIA, who was presumably a daughter of Count Roger the Poitevin(cognomine Pictaviensis), Lord of the honour of Lancaster, by his wifeAumodis, Countess of La Marche. He had a son Henry, and a daughter,Margaret, eventually, or in her issue, his heir, and a wife of Robert,Earl of Ferrers.
About March 1152/3 HENRY, Duke of Normandy [the future King HENRY II] andcount of Anjou, by a charter expedited at Devizes, formulated what he wasprepared to give to [RANULF DE GERNON] the Earl of Chester, as the priceof his support; not indeed, even to the half of the kingdom, but yet noinconsiderable portion of it. It ought to be unnecessary to have to statethat these extensive grants never took effect. 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 visitedNottinghamshire, in order, as the annalists state, to disinherit WilliamPeverel for having poisoned THE EARL, but more probably to punish him forwhat had previously been termed his wickedness and treason. William, onTHE KING's approach, retired to one of his religious foundations where hebecame a monk. The honor of Peverel remained in the Crown for nearly halfa century.
