(2nd Lord Percy) Henry De PERCY (Sir K.G. 1323) (Warden of Scotland).
(Title, 2nd Baron Percy of Alnwick.) B.C. 1299;
English nobleman who with his father, Sir Henry Percy (1272-1315),
established the Percy family as the "hereditary guardians of the North
and the scourge of Scotland." Appointed warden of the Scottish marches
(1328), he helped defeat David Bruce (whom he took prisoner) at
Neville's Cross (1346).
In 1318 while still a minor he was given custody of Alnwick castle. In
1321 he was given the custody of Scarborough castle and a day later did
homage and had order for livery of his inheritance and in 1322 was
Knighted by the King at York.
He spent practically the whole of his life in the Scottish wars and was
a member of the Regency appointed to govern the kingdom during the
minority of Edward Ill.
Perpetual warfare had reduced the inhabitants of the Border lands to a
condition of misery, which induced Edward Ill in 1326 to resume
hostilities, and Henry de Percy was ordered to fortify and provision
Alnwick Castle and to guard the north-eastern march. In 1327 Edward Ill
led a large army into the North to drive back a Scottish incursion, but
the Scots evaded him, and he was compelled to disband his army.
Henry de Percy was keeper of Bamburgh castle in 1330 and overseer of an
array in the Northern counties. In spite of Percy's almost continuous
service on the Borders, he had found time to fight on the Continent. In
1340 he was engaged in the naval Battle of Sluys in Flanders, in 1342
he served in the Siege of Nantes and was fighting under the Black
Prince in France in 1347.
He continued the restoration of the Castle, which his father had begun.
The two octagonal towers on either side of the entrance to the Keep are
his work, and date from about 1350. It is said that he built these
towers with the money obtained by the ransoms of the Scottish prisoners
captured at Neville's Cro
