Originally Norman, having come to England with William the Conqueror, the Ferrer family has - according to oral tradition among the Stewarts - a longstanding tradition of intermarriage with the Stewart clan, later to become rulers of Scotland. In the Middle Ages, the Ferrer family held the earldom of Derby; although the main line died out, many descendants in England and Scotland still bear the name Ferrer, while others emigrated to i.a. Spain - e.g. the Scottish-English noble William Stewart Ferrer, father of Saint Vincent Ferrer. Also Bernard Ferrer, an English Knight, and Ausies (?) Ferrer,, a Scottish Lord, came from Britain to Spain - to aid in the restoration of Christian rule in Valencia.
