  • Notes 
    • He was named Earl of Leicester in 1324. He was a leader of the great confederacy which overturned the Spencers and deposed Kind Edward II. He was then appointed guardian of the new King Edward III as well as appointed captain-general of all the King's forces in the Marches on Scotland. In 1336, he was named Lord of Beaumont and Nogent.

      This Henry is the father of Lady Eleanor but it is only deduction on my part that he is the same Henry who is the father of Maud de Lancaster. (C-437, p. 585)
