Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Peverel
William Peverell (c. 1040 – c. 1115, Latinised to Gulielmus Piperellus), was a Norman 
knight granted lands in England following the Norman Conquest.
Origins[edit]

Little is known of the origin of the William Peverell the Elder. Of his immediate family, 
only the name of a brother, Robert, is known.[1] J. R. Planché derives the surname 
from the Latin puerulus, the diminutive form of puer (a boy), thus "a small boy", or from 
the Latin noun piper, meaning "pepper".[2]

Lands held in England[edit]

William Peverel was a favourite of William the Conqueror. He was greatly honoured 
after the Norman Conquest, and received as his reward over a hundred manors in 
central England from the king. In 1086, the Domesday Book records William as holding 
the substantial number of 162 manors, forming collectively the Honour of Peverel, in 
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, including Nottingham Castle.[3] He also built Peveril 
Castle, Castleton, Derbyshire. William Peverel is amongst the people explicitly 
recorded in the Domesday Book as having built castles.[4]

Marriage & progeny[edit]

William married Adeline, who bore him four children: two sons both named William, one 
dying without issue, the other often called William Peverel the Younger, born circa 
1080, and two daughters, Maud and Adeliza, who married Richard de Redvers.[1]
