John de Ferrers, only son of Robert de Ferrers, 8th and last Earl of Derby of that family, after the forfeiture of his father, was summoned to parliament as Baron Ferrers of Chartley, co. Stafford, 6 February, 1299, a seat which came into the family of Ferrers by the marriage of William, 5th Earl of Derby, with Agnes, sister and co-heir of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. This John, inheriting the turbulent spirit of his father, joined the Earl of Hertford and others in the 25th Edward I [1297] in opposing the collection of the subsidies granted by the parliament then held at St. Edmundsbury, to the crown, but the ferment was allayed by the king's confirming Magna Carta and the charter of the Forests, and by declaring that, in future, no tax should be imposed upon the subject without the consent of parliament, and at the same time granting a pardon to the discontented lords and their adherents, in which pardon John de Ferrers is especially named. Soon after this he petitioned Pope Nicholas III that his holiness should interfere to procure him the lands of his late father which had been conferred upon Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, but his suit was ineffectual. He was subsequently in the Scottish wars and was then raised to the peerage as stated above. His lordship m. Hawyse, dau. and heiress of Sir Robert de Muscegros, of Charlton, co.
