• Notes

  Henry was the second son of Sir Henry de Erdington and Maud, 4th daughter of Sir Roger de Somery. His lineage goes back through noble lines. When I find this Henry with a daughter Matilda, CD-100 and F-345 will support his ancestry. It date that he married before June 1315 Joan, d. of Sir Thomas de Wolvey of Co. Warwick. According to Hal Buckley, this 1315 date is the date that they are listed as a married couple, but their marriage took place at least 1300 or earlier from the known births of their children. (F-441-442) Henry, b. 1274, held lands in Aston Parish, Erdington, co. Warwick, Shawbury, Salop Corfe Mullen, Dorset, Barrow-on-Soar co. Leicester and Olney, Bucks. He was the second son of Henry De Erdington and became his father's heir when his older brother died young, a minor in the King's ward. "The King took his homage", and he is noted in the records as having livery of his father's lands on July 21 1295. He then was given livery of this mother's lands on July 9, 1302 after the death of her 2nd husband, Sir William De Bifeld. He is listed as age 24 years and more in 1302 when his stepfather dies. He is listed as the heir and son of Henry and Maud De Erdington in this document. He was knighted by the Prince of Wales on May 22, 1306 at Westminster. He was given the title "Knight of the Shire for co. Leicester" in 1309. He was in the military service between May 1297 and July 28, 1317. He was a member of council in May 1324. He was in Parliament on Jan 22, 1335/6 where by writ he was bestowed the title of "Lord Erdington".
