Extract from Article
Henry Percy 1228?-1272 was eldest son of William Percy, sixth baron [q.v.], by Elena, daughter of Ingelram de Baliol, and had livery of his lands in 1249. He was summoned for service in Wales in 1257, and in Scotland in 1258. During the barons' war he at first sided with the barons, but afterwards joined the king. He fought for Henry at Northampton on 6 April 1264, and at Lewes on 14 May, where he was taken prisoner (Rishanger, Chron. pp. 21, 28). He died in 1272, having married, in September 1268, Eleanor, elder daughter of John, earl of Warrenne (Cont. Will. Newb. ap. Chron. Stephen, Henry II, and Richard I, ii. 554, Rolls Ser.), by whom he had three sons, of whom the two elder died soon after their father.
