  • Name Henry Of LANCASTER  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
    • He was summoned to Parliament v.p. on 6 Feb 1298/9 by writ directed 'Henrico de Lancestre nepoti Regis', whereby, he may be held to have become Lord Lancaster. He took part in the siege of Carlaverock in July 1300. He was created Earl of Leicester on 29 Mar 1324, and restored as Earl of Lancaster between 1324 and 1326 succeeding his older brother Thomas. On the Queen's return to England with Roger de Mortimer in September 1326, he joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the King's cause. He was sent in pursuit and captured the King at Neath. He was appointed to take charge of the King, and was responsible for his custody at kenilworth. About 1330 he became blind. Upon the fall of Mortimer his close personal relations with the young King were renewed. [1]
