He inherited the title of Baron Ferrers of Chartley upon his father's death at the Battle of Nájera on 3 April 1367 but was never summoned to parliament.
Robert married Margaret Le Despenser (born around 1360) a daughter of Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer, KG, and Lady Elizabeth Burghersh.
The couple had one son Edmund, who became Edmund de Ferrers, 6th Baron Ferrers of Chartley upon the death of his father around 1412, and one daughter Philippe, who married Sir Thomas Greene, Sheriff of Northamptonshire (10 February 1399 – 18 January 1462), by whom she was the grandmother of Sir Thomas Green. Philippe and Sir Thomas are ancestors to Queen consort Catherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VIII.
