Regent of England
(8th Baron Percy) Henry De PERCY
In 1294 the King (at Henry's proof of age), granted Henry the wardships
of John his said brother. But controversy surrounded this decision as
there was thought to be an elder brother William. Evidence has
apparently been discovered of proof that an elder brother William was
in existence at this time and that he had issue.
(Title, 1st Baron Percy of Alnwick (by writ) English nobleman who
played an important role in the Scottish wars of Edward I. Replaced by
Piers Gaveston as justice of forests (1312), he joined Thomas of
Lancaster against Edward II. Pardoned for his share in the
disturbances, he took arms against Bruce at Bannockburn (1315).
He purchased Alnwick and Northumbria lands, and thus became virtual
founder of the historic house of Percy, previously associated with
Yorkshire.
In 1299 Henrico de Percy was summonsed to parliament with a Barony By
Writ, whereby he is held to have become the 1st LORD PERCY. In July
1300 he was with his maternal grandfathers retinue at the siege of
Carlaverock where he displayed for the first time a yellow banner with
a blue lion. This represented a major change from the Percies ancient
arms, azure, a fess engrailed argent and then azure, a fess engrailed
d'or to this blazon D'or a lion rampant azure. The reasons why Henry de
Percy changed his arms is unsure and it is still a matter of conjecture
where this new blue lion originated. Some have associated the blue lion
with that of Louvain, others with that of Fitzalan Earls of Arundel.
Henry was the constable of Scarborough castle by 1307 and was summonsed
to the coronation of Edward II and in November 1309 purchased Alnwick
castle from the Bishop of Durham.
On becoming the owner and Baron of Alnwick, he immediately set about
the restoration of the Castle, with a view to converting it into a
stronghold provided with all the improvements required by the warfare
of the Edwardian period.
Without interfering with the general form and design of the Castle, the
Ist Lord Percy of Alnwick proceeded to rebuild the greater part of it.
He reconstructed the Keep in the form of seven semi-circular towers
round an irregular-sided court, with the great hall and kitchens on the
East Side, and he also rebuilt most of the towers along the curtain
wall. Those portions of his work, which still remain, are the
semi-circular tower on the north-east side of the Keep. This now forms
part of the dining-room, the draw-well, the Middle Gateway between the
Outer and Second Baileys, the Abbot's Tower, Western Garret, Auditor's
Tower, Eastern Garret, the lower part of the Record Tower, the
Constable's Tower and Postern Tower, as well as the greater part of the
curtain walls.
Henry died in 1315 at Alnwick and was buried at Fountains Abbey in
Yorkshire. His widow a Dowager died in 1328 and was buried in Beverley,
Yorkshire where her orbit is celebrat
