=== Life Sketch ===
Henry, 3rd Earl of Leicester and Lancaster (c. 1281 – 22 September 1345) was a grandson of King Henry III (1216–1272) of England and was one of the principals behind the deposition of King Edward II (1307–1327), his first cousin.
Origins
He was the younger son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, a son of King Henry III by his wife Eleanor of Provence. Henry's mother was Blanche of Artois, Queen Dowager of Navarre.
Henry's elder brother Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, succeeded their father in 1296, but Henry was summoned to Parliament on 6 February 1298/99 by writ directed to Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis ("Henry of Lancaster, nephew of the king", Edward I), by which he is held to have become Baron Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in July 1300.
Petition for succession and inheritance
After a period of longstanding opposition to King Edward II and his advisors, including joining two open rebellions, Henry's brother Thomas was convicted of treason, executed and had his lands and titles forfeited in 1322. Henry did not participate in his brother's rebellions; he later petitioned for his brother's lands and titles, and on 29 March 1324 he was invested as Earl of Leicester. A few years later, shortly after his accession in 1327, the young Edward III of England returned the earldom of Lancaster to him, along with other lordships such as that of Bowland.
Capture and custody of the King
On the Queen's return to England in September 1326 with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, Henry joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the king's cause and overturned the power of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, and his namesake son Hugh the younger Despenser.
He was sent in pursuit and captured the king at Neath in South Wales. He was appointed to take charge of the king and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth Castle.
Full restoration and reward
Henry was appointed head of the regency council for the new king Edward III of England,[3] and was also appointed captain-general of all the king's forces in the Scottish Marches. He was appointed Constable of Lancaster Castle and High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1327. He also helped the young king to put an end to Mortimer's regency and tyranny, also had him declared a traitor and executed in 1330.
Loss of sight
In about the year 1330, he became blind (Prestwich states Henry was going blind around 1329).
Later life and death
Henry spent the last fifteen years of his life at Leicester Castle. There he founded a hospital for the poor and infirm in an extension of the castle bailey. It became known as the Newarke, and Henry was buried in the hospital chapel when he died in 1345. The king and queen attended his funeral. His son Henry of Grosmont, first Duke of Lancaster, had his father's remains moved to the collegiate Church of the Annunciation of Our Lady of the Newarke, which he had built when he enhanced his father's foundation.
Nickname
According to Jean Le Bel, he was nicknamed Wryneck, or Tors-col in French, possibly due to a medical condition. Froissart repeated that statement in his Chronicles.
Succession
He was succeeded as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester by his eldest son, Henry of Grosmont, who subsequently became Duke of Lancaster.
Issue
He married Maud Chaworth, before 2 March 1296/1297.
Henry and Maud had seven children:
1. Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, (about 1300–1360/61)
2. Blanche of Lancaster, Baroness Wake of Liddell, (about 1305–1380) married Thomas Wake, 2nd Baron Wake of Liddell
3. Maud of Lancaster, (about 1310–1377); married (1) William de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster (died c.1333) and (2) Ralph de Ufford, Justiciar of Ireland (died 1346), and had descendants by both.
4. Joan of Lancaster, (about 1312–1345); married John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray and had descendants
5. Isabel of Lancaster, Abbess of Amesbury, (about 1317-after 1347)
6. Eleanor of Lancaster, (about 1318–1371/72) married (1) John De Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont and (2) 5 Feb 1344/5, Richard FitzAlan, 3rd Earl of Arundel and had descendants.
7. Mary of Lancaster, (about 1320–1362), who married Henry de Percy, 3rd Baron Percy, and was the mother of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland and had descendants.

King Edward in effect gave Kidwelly Castle to his nephew Henry of Lancaster by arranging his marriage to the Kidwelly heiress in 1291. The castle was then completely rebuilt on concentric lines, with an outer curtain defended by four strong towers and two gatehouses. The main Edwardian gatehouse, in particular, is a formidable affair -- it has been compared to the awesome form of the pylon of an Egyptian temple. [Castles of England, Scotland and Wales, p. 68]

In 1326 he held Edward II prisoner at Kenilworth Castle where he was forced to abdicate. King Edward was then hurried to Berkeley Castle and murdered there.
In 1347 Henry contracted with Richard de Felsted for a new roof for his Great Hall at Kenilworth. [Kenilworth Castle, p. 27]
Dunstanburgh is a castle of the 14th century and unusual in some ways. It was built for a member of the royal family, the Earl of Lancaster, who at times opposed Edward II. In 1315, a year after Bannockburn, he obtained a licence to crenellate, and constructed a castle of great strength on an exposed coastal headland. Coast castles needed strong defences and the nature of the site was such that it could not be attacked from the sea, though the castle had its own safe anchorage. [Medieval Castles, Towers, Peles and Bastles of Northumberland, p. 26]
Pickering Castle returned to Lancastrian ownership, passing initially to Henry, the younger brother of Earl Thomas, who occasionally stayed at Pickering and held it until his death in 1345. He was succeeded by his warlike son, also called Henry, who was created Duke of Lancaster in 1351. [Pickering Castle, p. 28-9]
c. 1281-1345. Second son of Edmund, 1st earl of Lancaster. Henry inherited the titles after the execution of his elder brother Thomas by Edward II. He joined Edward II's queen, Isabella of France, and Roger Mortimer when they invaded England in September 1326 and he captured Edward at Neath Abbey in Wales. He was Edward's gaoler until 1327 when the king was presumed murdered by Thomas Gurney and John Maltravers. Henry was subsequently made guardian of the young Edward III. In 1329 he began plotting against Roger Mortimer, but was discovered. Henry went blind in 1330, but was still able to help Edward III plan the successful overthrow of Mortimer that year. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 91]
One of the leaders of the great confederacy which overturned the power of the Spencers and deposed King Edward II. He was appointed guardian of the new King Edward III. He was appointed captain-general of all the King's forces in the Marches of Scotland. He took part in the siege of Carlaverock in July 1300. 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. [Carol]

Following is a brief summary of Henry's entry from the "Dictionary of National Biography" :
He served with EDWARD I in Flanders in 1297 and 1298. He fought in Scotland several times between 1298 and 1305. In 1315 he, in common with the other lords of the Welsh marches, joined the Earl of Hereford in putting down the rebellion of Llewelyn Bren, and in 1318 he was ordered to bring his Welsh retainers to Newcastle to serve against the Scots. He was opposed to the Despensers, for the greediness of the younger threatened the lords marchers generally; but he does not seem to have had any violent feelings against the king, and was not involved in his brother's [Thomas, Earl of Lancaster] treason. In 1324 he was created Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, and Steward of England, dignities which had been held by his brother. It is evident that he was indignant at his brother's fate, and was resolved to avenge it, and was not appeased by these honors. In 1324 the King unsuccessfully had him tried for treason. He was, at this time, regarded as the foremost man in the kingdom. Henry supported Queen Isabel upon her return to England and he was instrumental in the downfall of the Despensers and had custody of King Edward II for a time during his imprisonment. He is said to have treated the King very humanely. Henry was the guardian of King Edward III during his minority and was the chief member of the council of government. In 1326 he took the lead in opposition to the rule of Queen Isabel and her paramour, ROGER MORTIMER, EARL OF MARCH (RIN 684). Early in the year 1330, following a slow degeneration of his vision, Henry became totally blind. Still, he persuaded the king of the necessity of getting rid of MORTIMER and was the mastermind of the plot which led to MORTIMER'S capture, trial, and execution late in the year. The Earl's blindness, which he bore with patience, forced him to retire from active life; he gave himself wholly to devotion. He was courteous and kindhearted, of sound judgement, religious, and apparently of high

Origins
He was the younger son of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, a son of King Henry III by his wife Eleanor of Provence. The Earl Henry's mother was Blanche of Artois, Queen Dowager of Navarre.
Henry's elder brother Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, succeeded their father in 1296, but Henry was summoned to Parliament on 6 February 1298/99 by writ directed to Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis ("Henry of Lancaster, nephew of the king", Edward I), by which he is held to have become Baron Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in July 1300.
Petition for succession and inheritance
After a period of long-standing opposition to King Edward II and his advisors, including joining two open rebellions, Henry's brother Thomas was convicted of treason, executed and had his lands and titles forfeited in 1322. Henry did not participate in his brother's rebellions; he later petitioned for his brother's lands and titles, and on 29 March 1324 he was invested as Earl of Leicester.
A few years later, shortly after his accession in 1327, the young Edward III of England returned the earldom of Lancaster to him, along with other lordships such as that of Bowland. He may have inherited the Barony of Halton.
Capture and custody of the King
On the Queen's return to England in September 1326 with Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, Henry joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the King's cause and overturned the power of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester, and his son Hugh the younger.
Henry was sent in pursuit and captured the King at Neath in South Wales. He was appointed to take charge of the King and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth Castle.
Full restoration and reward
Henry was appointed head of the regency council for the new king, Edward III, and was also appointed captain-general of all the King's forces in the Scottish Marches. He was appointed Constable of Lancaster Castle and High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1327. He helped the young king put an end to Mortimer's regency and tyranny, having him declared a traitor and executed in 1330.
Later life and death
In about the year 1330, he became blind (Prestwich states Henry was going blind around 1329).
Henry spent the last fifteen years of his life at Leicester Castle. There he founded a hospital for the poor and infirm in an extension of the castle bailey. It became known as the Newarke, and Henry was buried in the hospital chapel when he died in 1345. The King and Queen attended his funeral. He was succeeded as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester by his eldest son, Henry of Grosmont, later first Duke of Lancaster. Henry had his father's remains moved to the collegiate Church of the Annunciation of Our Lady of the Newarke, which he had built when he enhanced his father's foundation.
Nickname
According to Jean Le Bel, he was nicknamed Wryneck, or Tors-col in French, possibly due to a medical condition. Froissart repeated that statement in his Chronicles.
Issue
He married Maud Chaworth, before 2 March 1296/1297.
Henry and Maud had seven children:
Henry of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster, (c. 1310–1361)
Blanche of Lancaster, Baroness Wake of Liddell, (c. 1305-c. 1380) married Thomas Wake, 2nd Baron Wake of Liddell
Maud of Lancaster, (about 1310–1377); married (1) William de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster (died c.1333) and (2) Ralph de Ufford, Justiciar of Ireland (died 1346), and had descendants by both.
Joan of Lancaster, (about 1312–1345); married John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray and had descendants
Isabel of Lancaster, Abbess of Amesbury, (about 1317 – after 1347)
Eleanor of Lancaster, (about 1318–1371/72) married (1) John De Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont and (2) 5 Feb 1344/5, Richard FitzAlan, 3rd Earl of Arundel and had descendants.
Mary of Lancaster, (about 1320–1362), who married Henry de Percy, 3rd Baron Percy, and was the mother of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland and had descendants.
