Anne Ferrers

Anne Ferrers , suo jure 8th Baroness Ferrers of Chartley (married Anne Devereux ) (December 1438 - January 9, 1469 ) was an English noblewoman.

Anne Ferrers came from the old English noble Ferrers family . She was the only child of William Ferrers, 7th Baron Ferrers of Chartley, and his wife Elizabeth Bealknap. She was married to Walter Devereux before November 26, 1446 . After her father's death in 1450, she inherited the right to the title of Baroness Ferrers of Chartley and the right to part of her father's property. Much of this inheritance remained in her mother's administration until her mother's death in 1471, but in March 1453 Anne was given the management of Lincolnshire estates . Another part of her father's holdings went to her uncle Edmund Ferrers. Her husband became a major supporter of the House of York during the Wars of the Roses . In gratitude, he was raised to Baron Ferrers of Chartley in 1462 in his own right . She had several children with him, including

John Devereux, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley (around 1463–1501)
Sir Richard Devereux
Sir Thomas Devereux
Elizabeth Devereux

∞ Sir Richard Corbet
∞ Sir Thomas Leighton

Sybil Devereux ∞ Sir James Baskerville

Her heir became her eldest son John, who was both 2nd and 9th Baron Ferrers of Chartley as her heir and his father's heir.
