        Margaret Peverell, Countess of Derby (b. circa 1114, Nottinghamshire, England), was an English noblewoman who lived at Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire, England.

        Family and marriage
        Margaret was the daughter of William Peverel the Younger of Peveril Castle in Derbyshire[1][2][3]

        According to Burke's Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, she married Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby and thus became Countess of Derby. She was the mother of William de Ferrers, 3rd Earl of Derby and William De Ferrers, Lord of Eggington and a daughter, Petronella.{Burke's Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages}

        She died in 1154 and was buried in Merevale Abbey.

        MARGARET Peverel was born circa 1114 at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England.
        She is the daughter of William Peverel and Alice de Lancaster.
        She married Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby, son of Robert de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby and Hawise de Vitre, in 1135 at Nottinghamshire, England.

        [MARGARET ([1123/26]-). “Robertus comes de Ferrariis” property “in Stebbingis…per Margaretam comitissam uxorem meam” to Morice FitzGeoffrey by charter dated “VI Kal Oct IV anno imperii Regis Stephani” (1139)[259]. Her parentage is suggested by the charter of John King of England which names “Willelmo de Ferrariis comiti” as heir to territories of “Willelmi Peverell”[260]. If this parentage is correct, Margaret is unlikely to have been born outside the narrow date range shown above, which would also indicate that her marriage took place only shortly before the date of this charter. m (before 1139) ROBERT Ferrers Earl [of Derby], son of ROBERT de Ferrers Earl [of Derby] & his wife Hawise --- (-before 1160, bur Merevale Abbey).]
