Henry Percy, 2nd Baron Percy

Henry Percy, 2nd Baron Percy (1301–1352), was thirteen when his father died in 1314 and left him the Alnwick barony, first held in custody by John de Felton. In 1316 Edward II granted him lands in Northumberland, and in 1322 made him governor of Pickering and Scarborough castles.

He joined the barons who removed the king's favourites, the Despensers. After a disastrous war with the Scots, he and William Zouche negotiated the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton, so unpopular in England that the peace lasted only five years.

A member of Edward III's council from 1327, he received Skipton and then Warkworth Castle in 1328. He fought at Halidon Hill, and at Neville's Cross in 1346 commanded the English right wing. He married Idonia Clifford and was buried at Alnwick in 1352.
