After he had taken up his heritage, he was in a feud with Sir Hugh earth Wick , one of his neighbors in Staffordshire involved that only through the intervention of King Henry V was completed. Part of the punishment imposed by the king on him was participation in the king's campaign to France in 1415. Ferrers distinguished himself at the Battle of Azincourt and continued to fight in France for the next few years. After the death of Henry V in 1422, he returned to England.
Ferrers married Ellen Roche, the second daughter of Thomas Roche and his wife Birmingham. Since his father-in-law had no surviving male descendants, his wife inherited part of her father's estates, including Bromwich Castle in Warwickshire . Ferrers had several children with his wife, including:
- William Ferrers, 7th Baron Ferrers of Chartley (1412-1450)
- Edmund Ferrers (* around 1429)
