estates from Eleanor Malbank in 1214; in 1227 he aquired the manors of
Edgmund and Newport, and in 1230 that of Ford, all in Salop, and all held
by him direct from the crown, though not by military or knight service.
He was Under Sheriff of Salop and co. Stafford 1217-1220, and Sheriff
1227-32; was in command of the Welsh Marches 1223-46. He built the
castle of Heleigh, co. Stafford; and Red Castle, Salop. In 1223 he founded
Hulton Abbey. He was appointed Custodian of Chester and Beeston
Castle, 22 Jun 1237, on the extinction of the then earldom of Chester.
According to Cockayne, Henry's mother was Emma, dau. of Ralph
FitzOrm.
Cockayne's "Complete Peerage" (Tuchet, p.56), identifies him and
BERTRED as parents of Emma.
J. Horace Round in V.2 of "Peerage and Pedigree", 1970 reprint of the
1910 work, pages 30-36, agrees with Cokayne as to his parentage.
