WILLIAM II, "of Ferrières."
Jean Longnon, Les compagnons de Villehardouin: Recherches sur les croisés de la quatrième croisade, Geneva, 1978, pp. 107– 8: Celebrated as a lyric poet as William of Ferrières (the place name is too common to be surely identified), he was the son of Godfrey of Fréteval and Helissendis of Ferrières (Templiers, pp. lxxiii– iv). Before 1180, with his wife Marguerite and sons, Robert, John and William, he made a donation to SP (n. 276: Ibid., p. 23, n. 1, after BM 1136, vol. IV, p. 451). At the moment of leaving for the crusade he sold to the monks of Bellhomer all which he had of the tithes of Béville– le– Comte (n. 277: Paulin Paris, Romanceros français (Paris, 1833), p. 111, after the cartulary of Bellhomer: in procinctu itineris Hierosolymitani); and, at the same time in May of 1202 he made a donation to SM (CND 155).
After the taking of Zara, he left the army with Renaud of Montmiral to go to Syria (Villehardouin, ch. 102; ed. Faral, I, p. 102). From there, after the coronation of Baldwin, he rejoined the crusaders at Constantinople, where, he gave notice that in [108] April, 1204, being in Syria, at Acre, he gave to the Templers a muid of grain from his barn at Geneville and, upon arriving at Const. with an illness, he added a second muid on the suggestion of Gervais of CN and William of Couddes, for the good of his soul, the Templers having received him into their order (Templiers, 41). He probably died shortly thereafter
