There is substantial confusion over his name. See The Complete Peerage
V4.p193 for an account. Personally, I feel there could have been two brothers,
William and Robert. Robert being the Earl and when he died at Acre his
nephew William son of his brother William suceeded, but no documents
support this theory either!

The claim has been made that William Peverel was a bastard son of William the Conqueror. The source for this is an old pedigree in which Peverel appears to have been added to the family of William. There is no other documentation which presents a relationship supporting Peverel's placement as a royal bastard (there are a few grants from the king, but there is no indication that these represent anything special). In addition, William had no other documented bastards, which suggests that if he did have any, he didn't bother keeping track of them. The more recent authors that I have seen have tended not to favor such a relationship as being accurate.
