Henry Boynton (c. 1375  - 1405)
Henry son and heir of Sir Thomas Boynton was probably born about 1375. Little is known about his early life. He was of age in April 1399, when he and his father gave a bond to the prior of Durham. [36]

In traditional pedigrees of the Boynton family, Henry Boynton is said erroneously to have married Elizabeth Conyers. Henry Boynton married, about 1397, Elizabeth daughter of John de Fenwick of Fenwick, Northumberland by his wife Elizabeth de Heton. She was the widow of John de Felton of Felton, Northumberland who died on 31 March 1396. The inquisition post mortem of John de Felton, taken at Northampton on 20 July 1396 found that he married firstly Joan, daughter of John Fitz William, knight, and had issue two daughters, who were still living. Joan died and John de Felton afterwards married Elizabeth daughter of John de Fenwick, knight. [37] The inquisition post mortem of Elizabeth widow of John de Felton, taken on 23 May 1422 found that she died on 7 April without issue by John de Felton. William Boynton, aged 22 years and more, was her son and next heir by Henry Boynton, formerly her husband. [38]

Although Henry Boynton, knight, had sworn an oath of fealty to Henry IV and renouncing Henry Percy in September 1403, [39] he became involved with the rebellion of the first earl of Northumberland and in July 1405 he was one of four knights and others who held the town and castle of Berwick on Tweed against the king. They were captured by the king's forces and executed for treason. Henry's lands and goods were forfeit to the king.  On 12 July 1405, the mayor of Newcastle was ordered to place Henry's head on the Tyne Bridge. [40] On 23 July 1405, the king ordered that his head was to be taken down and given to his widow for burial. [41] On 16 August 1405, Elizabeth, widow of Henry Boynton, was granted the manors of Roxby and Newton, for life, to support herself and her six children. [42] Elizabeth died (as above) on 7 April 1422.
