( a ) The estate of Chartley was the inheritance of his great grandmother, Agnes, Countess of Derby, one of the sisters and coheirs of Randolph (de Blondeville), Earl of Chester. ( b ) It is to be remarked that this Barony is frequently spoken of as " Ferrers dc Chartley," but no such designation is appended to any of the writs. Banks in his " Bar. An'jl." queries the precedency of this Barony prior to the writ of 1 Ed. IV. to " Walter Devereux do Ferrers," inasmuch as there is no proof of the sitting of the Baron sum. by Ed. I. and none of his descendants wore sum. till tho said Walter. The precedency, however, of 1299 was both iu 1077 and 1771 allowed to it.
