| This article is profundely erroneous. The name of Ferrer is not of a single English (Norman) origin. It is a very simple latin-deridatived name, wich has appeared simultaneously in many countries. In Spain, in particulary in Catalonia, one can observe that the Ferrer name appeared in iron-producing areas (such as Vallespir) since the very end of XIIth century, well before any emigration from England ! ] 14:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| : (edit) : One anonymous user, StuartStewart keeps posting this nonsense of "English Ferrers" in Spain in every article related to the subject. This non-sourced statements (of course - I wonder where he can find references for that !). I suspect a confusion between a very limited emigration from England and a genealogical legend uses by some spanish families to justify their nobility by refering at the prestigious de Ferrers family. It is a very common trick used by faimlies of common origin in the modern times, such as the Colbert, burgess from Reims, pretending descent from scottish nobility. ] 14:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
