Notities over HENRY OF LANCASTER

Henry, 3rd Earl of Leicester and Lancaster (c. 1281 - 22 September 1345) was a grandson of King Henry III (1216-1272) of England and was one of the principals behind the deposition of King Edward II (1307-1327), his first cousin.

He was the younger son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, a son of King Henry III by his wife Eleanor of Provence. Henry's mother was Blanche of Artois, Queen Dowager of Navarre.

Henry's elder brother Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, succeeded their father in 1296, but Henry was summoned to Parliament on 6 February 1298/99 by writ directed to Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis ("Henry of Lancaster, nephew of the king", Edward I), by which he is held to have become Baron Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in July 1300.

Petition for succession and inheritance
After a period of longstanding opposition to King Edward II and his advisors, including joining two open rebellions, Henry's brother Thomas was convicted of treason, executed and had his lands and titles forfeited in 1322. Henry did not participate in his brother's rebellions; he later petitioned for his brother's lands and titles, and on 29 March 1324 he was invested as Earl of Leicester. A few years later, shortly after his accession in 1327, the young Edward III of England returned the earldom of Lancaster to him, along with other lordships such as that of Bowland.

Revenge
On the Queen's return to England in September 1326 with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, Henry joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the king's cause and overturned the power of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, and his namesake son Hugh the younger Despenser.

He was sent in pursuit and captured the king at Neath in South Wales. He was appointed to take charge of the king and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth Castle.

Full restoration and reward
Henry was appointed head of the regency council for the new king Edward III of England, and was also appointed captain-general of all the king's forces in the Scottish Marches. He was appointed Constable of Lancaster Castle and High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1327. He also helped the young king to put an end to Mortimer's regency and tyranny, also had him declared a traitor and executed in 1330.

Loss of sight
In about the year 1330, he became blind.

Later life and death
Henry spent the last fifteen years of his life at Leicester Castle. There he founded a hospital for the poor and infirm in an extension of the castle bailey. It became known as the Newarke, and Henry was buried in the hospital chapel when he died in 1345. The king and queen attended his funeral. His son Henry of Grosmont, first Duke of Lancaster, had his father's remains moved to the collegiate Church of the Annunciation of Our Lady of the Newarke, which he had built when he enhanced his father's foundation.

Nickname
According to Jean Le Bel, he was nicknamed Wryneck, or Tort-col in French, possibly due to a medical condition. Froissart repeated that statement in his Chronicles.

Succession
He was succeeded as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester by his eldest son, Henry of Grosmont, who subsequently became Duke of Lancaster.

Issue
He married Maud Chaworth, before 2 March 1296/1297.
Henry and Maud had seven children:
Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, (about 1300-1360/61)

Henry received Monmouth and lands in 1297 after his father's death in 1296. He was at the Battle of Falkirk 1298, summoned to Parliament 06 Feb 1299 as Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis (kinsman of the King) whereas he became Lord Lancaster. Henry was at the siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, and signed the Baron's letter to Pope Boniface in 1301 as D'n's de Munemue. He helped John le Harper escape from prison, but was pardoned for his part in 1307. Henry and Maud attended the coronation of King Edward II in 1308, was one of the men who forced the king to agree to the Lord Ordainers, and joined the marcher lords against Llywelyn Bren in 1315. His brother, John, died in France, requiring Henry to journey there to obtain his heritage in 1318.

Henry joined the Marchers against the Despensers in 1320, petitioned the king for, and received, the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester when his brother, Thomas, was executed for his rebellions against the king by the Despensers in 1322.

Henry joined Queen Isabella and Roger de Mortimer against Edward II, sent to capture Edward at Neath in South Wales, taking the king to Glamorgan and next to Kenilworth Castle, where he remained in Henry's custody until 04 April 1327.

Henry was at the coronation of King Edward III 1327, but refused to attend Parliament in 1328, quarreling with the Queen who sent her forces to ravage Henry's Leicester lands, Henry's armed were defeated by Mortimer, and Henry received his lands back again. After Mortimer's demise, Henry and Edward became close again, the King granted Henry 500 marks annually for the maintenance of his estate. Henry was with Edward at the planning of the Scottish invasion in 1335, appointed to the Council of Edward's son, Prince Lionel, Keeper of England, during the King's travels in 1345. Apparently, Henry went blind about 1330.

Henry was buried on the north side of the high altar at Newark Abbey.
