Notes
Henry de Ferrers, magnate and administrator, was a Norman who after the 1066 Norman conquest was awarded extensive lands in England.
He was the eldest son of Vauquelin de Ferrers and in about 1040 inherited his father's lands centred on the village of Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire.
In England he progressively acquired landholdings, which he had to manage. As one of the leading magnates, he also served King William I of England and his successor William II in administrative capacities and is said to have been castellan of Stafford Castle. In about 1080, he and his wife founded Tutbury Priory in Staffordshire, and in 1086 he was one of the royal commissioners in charge of the Domesday survey, which records his 210 manors.
He died between September 1093 and September 1100 and was buried in Tutbury Priory.
