  Biography
  Henry de Braybroc aka of Braybrooke
  
  Henry was the son of Robert of Braybrooke.
  
  Henry and Christiana had three children:
  1.) Wischard Ledet, their heir, died on crusade in the Holy Land in 1241 with Christiana's second husband, Gerard de Furnival;
  
  2.) John of Braybrooke;
  
  3.) Margery Braybrooke, who was married to Simon of Pattishall, son and heir of Walter.
  
  Henry and his father were listed by Roger of Wendover among King John's evil counsellors; when his father, Robert, died in 1211, Henry succeeded him as sheriff, and was later also a justice.
  
  Henry of Braybrooke died in 1234; he had bequeathed his body to Bushmead Priory, Bedfordshire, of which he was a benefactor.
  
  On 25 October, 1241, because the king [Henry III] had heard by an inspection of the charter that John, formerly the king, his father, made for Henry of Braybrooke concerning the manor of Corby, which Wischard Ledet […] held of the king in socage, he ordered the sheriff of Northamptonshire that, having accepted security from Mary [sic], the widow of Wischard, for £10 [for the relief of Walter], son and heir of Wischard, he was to cause her to have full seisin of the aforesaid manor with appurtenances until the legal age of the heir, Walter.
  
  An Inquisition for Henry de Braybroc was taken in Northamptonshire on an unknown date, which found that the two daughters of Walter Ledet, aged 12 and 11, were Henry's heirs, and Henry held Coreby manor in fee and inheritance and by the king's charter, which was the king's ancient demesne before he gave it to Henry and his heirs, who held it at fee farm for 10l. yearly. It was in the king's hands because Robert Peche, who was in the Isle of Ely with the disinherited, had the wardship of the manor through his wife, the widow of Walter Ledet with whom she had two daughters who are the heirs of Coreby manor.
