  HENRY [I] de la Pomerai (-[1157/64]). "Goscelin de la Pommeraye" founded the abbey of Sainte-Marie-du-Val, with the consent of "sa femme Emma et de ses fils Henry, Roger, Philippe, Goscelin et Raoul", by charter dated 1125[481].
  
  Lord of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, he had supported King Henry I during the rebellion of 1123, commanding the royal army at Pont-Athou. Deputy Constable in the Royal household of King Henry I[482].
  
  "Henrico de Pomer…" witnessed the charter dated to [1126] under which Henry I King of England granted property to Robert FitzPayn[483]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Henr de Pomer" in Dorsetshire[484].
  
  "…Henrico de Pomeria…" subscribed the charter dated 1157 under which Henry II King of England confirmed the property of the abbey of Saint-Jean de Falaise[485].
  
  m ROHESE, daughter of --- & his [mistress/wife] Sibyl Corbet (-1176). The identity of the father of Rohese is uncertain. Renaud Earl of Cornwall granted Roseworthy manor in Cornwall to his sister "Rohesia de Pomeria" in a charter[486]. The wife of Henry de la Pomerai was therefore either Rohese, illegitimate daughter of Henry I King of England & his mistress Sibyl Corbet, or Rohese, daughter of Herbert FitzHerbert & his wife Sibyl Corbet. Henry [I] & his wife had two children:
  
  i) HENRY [II] de Pomeria (-1207). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Henricus de Pomeria" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Cornwall and half a knight’s fee in Devon[487].

  ii) JOSCELIN de la Pomerai (-after [1200]). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "filius Henrici de Pomeria" held one knight’s fee from "Willelmi comitis Gloucestriæ" in Gloucestershire[488].
  
  Benedict of Peterborough records that Henry II King of England granted the kingdom of Limerick to "Hereberti filio Hereberti, et Willelmo fratri comitis Reginaldi, et Joellano de la Pumerai nepoti eorum" at a council in Oxford in May 1177, but that "Herbertus et Willelmus, fratres Reginaldi comitis Cornubiæ, et Joellanus de Pumeria nepos eorum" declined it at a council at Marlborough 3 Jun 1177[489].
  
  "Joselinus de Pomerei" donated property to Ford abbey, Devonshire, for the souls of "…domini fratris mei Hen de Pomerei", by undated charter (maybe dated to after 1200, when William father of Henry de Tracy died) witnessed by "…Willielmo de Tracy fratre Hugonis de Courtenay, Henrico filio Willielmi de Tracy"[4
  *******************
  
  Henry had been a firm supporter of king Henry in the rebellion of 1123 and later became deputy constable in the royal household. Henry married the king's daughter while he was serving as a captain in the king's household forces. They prospered under Henry II with de la Pomerai performing various administrative duties in the royal service. In 1154, he was to be found overseeing the purchase of 17 pounds worth of seed for sowing the royal manors of Northamptonshire.
