John de Ferrers, 1st Baron Ferrers of Chartley (1271, Cardiff – c. 1324, Gascony) was 
the son of Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby and Alianore de Bohun, daughter of 
Humphrey de Bohun and Eleanor de Braose, and granddaughter of Humphrey de 
Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford.

In 1264 John, without any true inheritance other than the turbulent spirit of his father, 
joined the Earl of Hertford and other rebellious Barons in opposing the collection of 
subsidies granted by the parliament then held at St Edmundsbury, to the crown.

The ferment was allayed by the King's confirming Magna Carta, and their charter of 
the forests; and by declaring that in future, no tax should be imposed upon the subject 
without the consent of Parliament, 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, to interfere to procure him the lands of 
his late father which he had conferred upon Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, but his suit 
was ineffectual.

In 1273, he was again involved in the wars against Scotland and subsequently in 
1288 he was constituted Seneschal of Aquitaine by Edward II.

John was subsequently involved the Scottish wars which led to his summoning to 
parliament as Baron Ferrers of Chartley, in the county of Stafford on 6 February 1299 
(a seat which came into the family of Ferrers by the marriage of William de Ferrers, 5th 
Earl of Derby, with Agnes, sister and co-heir of Ranulph, Earl of Chester.)
Family[edit]

Sometime before 1300, Sir John married Hawise (Hawyse) de Muscegros. Hawise was 
born on 21 December 1276, a daughter of Robert de Muscegros. She was also a 
granddaughter of William Malet (Magna Carta baron) and heiress, and niece, of Cecilla 
de Muscegros, by whom he acquired a great increase in fortune. She died about June 
1340.

The couple had one son Robert who was born in 1309 in Staffordshire and became 
Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley upon his father's death.

Death[edit]

He died in 1324 in Gascony, apparently as a result of poisoning, and was succeeded 
by his son Robert.
