             "6th and last Earl of Derby. Born c. 1239. Succeeded his father as Earl of Derby, 1254. He rebelled against King Henry III and seized three of Prince Edward's castles in 1263. He was imprisoned at the Tower of London and at Windsor Castle. In 1266 his lands were forfeited to the King's son, Edmund, and his Earldom effectively forfeited. He could have recovered his lands and, presumably, the Earldom by payment of £50,000, but was unable to raise the money. His son, John, in 1298 tried to borrow the money, but was prohibited by the King. Robert married c. 1249 Mary, the King's niece and daughter of Hugue XI, Count of La Marche and Angoulême, but had no male issue. He married secondly in 1269 Alianore, daughter of Sir Humphrey de Bohun of Kimbolton, son and heir apparent of Humphrey, Earl of Hereford and Essex. Robert died in 1279 and was probably buried at the Priory of St. Thomas at Stafford."

             "The second, more powerful, Derbyshire supporter of the baronial cause was the young Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, who was married to the king's niece. He put together a private force to operate in the west of England in early 1263. This army violently attacked and destroyed the city of Worcester, despite the resistance of its citizens. At the first meeting of the two opposing forces in Gloucester, it was the Earl of Derby who arrived to tip the balance of strength in favour of the de Montforts. With the trickery of Edward, the king's son, only a truce ensued. This was soon to be broken, when those who favoured the baronial army were seized and heavily fined. During some wretched weeks before Easter 1264, Edward went with a force to seek vengeance on the lands of the Earl of Derby in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, burning and devastating all before him. The de Ferrers were powerful landowners in both counties. In Tutbury, the castle occupies a strong defensive position on the Staffordshire side of the River Dove, where it marks the border with  Derbyshire. William the Conqueror transferred the ownership to Henry de Ferrers in 1071 and Tutbury  became his principal residence in a holding of over two hundred manors."

             "Humphrey de Bohun VI, the eldest son, was 2nd Earl of Hereford and Essex. He was a very distinguished person among the rebellious barons, in the reign of King Henry III. In 1257 he was among those who assisted his father to keep the marches between Montgomery and the lands of the Earl of Gloucester, and in 1263 was ordered to join his father at Hereford to defend the lands and fortify the castles on the marches against Llewellyn. He joined the barons against the king, and on July 23, 1264 had custody of the castle of Winchester, which he was ordered to surrender on June 3, 1265. In the 47th year of that monarch he was excommunicated, with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and others, for plundering various churches and committing sacrilege. He was afterwards one of the commanders at the battle of Lewes, where the king was made prisoner, and was constituted Governor of Goodrich and Winchester Castles. In the year following he commanded the infantry at the battle of Evesham, where he fell into the hands of the royalists, and was sent prisoner to Beeston Castle in Cheshire, where he soon afterwards on October 27, 1265, died during his father's lifetime, leaving a son, Humphrey, by his wife, Eleanor (Alianore) Braose, daughter and co-heir of William de Braose, of Brecknock, Lord of Abergavenny, and co-heir of her mother Eve (Eva) Marshal, one of the five daughters and co-heirs of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and sister of William Marshal, Surety to the Magna Charta."
