Noted events in his life were:
• Background Information. 141 For William Peverel of Nottingham, the elder, very little is known. He is usually said to have been an illegitimate son of the Conqueror, but as this statement cannot be traced farther back than to the time of the Tudors, it is worth little, or nothing. His wife's name was Adeline, and he had at least four children: William, who dvp.; another William, who succeeded him; and two daughters, Maud; and Adelise, wife of Richard de Reviers. The Conqueror gave him extensive possessions, afterwards known as the honor of Peverel, consisting of about 100 lordships in counties or Notts and Northants, 14 in county of Derby, and some 20 in counties of Bucks, Leicester, Oxford, Beds, Berks, and Essex. He founded the Priory of St. James at Nottingham and that of Lenton in the same county. He died 28 Jan 1113/4.

Keats-Rohan's "Domesday People" has this to say on Willelm Peveral and Ranulf Peverel:
WILLELM PEUREL DE NOTTINGEHAM Norman, major tenant-in-chief centred upon Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. There is no direct evidence of any relationship with Ranulph Peveral, but it is highly likely that they were related and possibly quite closely......By his wife Adeline he had issue two sons named William, of whom one predeceased hime, and a daughter Adeliz who married Richard I de Redvers. He died 28 January 1113/14.
RANULF PEUEREL Norman, from Vengeons, Manche. Domesday tenant-in-chief in East Anglia. His wife Athelida was a confrater of St Albans. (The spurious account of this marrige, with Ranulf's wife converted into an Ingelrica, mistress of William I, as printed in Mon. Ang. iii, is unworthy of repetition.) He died c. 1091. His successor was his son William (de Essex), who was dead by 1129/30.
