1st Baron de Ferrers, William was an important commander in Edward I's wars in Scotland, and his arms are entered on the Falkirk Roll of 1298.
He fought in Flanders in 1295 and helped mount the Siege of Carlaverock in 1300.
He saw further service in Scotland in 1303, 1306, 1308 and 1311.
He was summoned to many councils (parliaments) for diplomatic negotiations and ceremonial duties such as Edward II's coronation, and performed other such duties that the Barony was duly created for him.
Both his mother and daugher were married into the le Despenser family whose relationship with the Crown was so intimate.
