Biography

Henry was son of Sir Gerald de Glanville and nephew to the celebrated Justiciary, and about 1216 he was in possession of one knight's fee of the honour of Dramele. The lordship of Wooton-Glanville is situated in the county of Dorset, and bounded on the south by Buckland Newton; on the west by Middlemurst; on the north-west by Holwell, and on the east by Holwell. Close to the southern boundary of this place is an old Roman fortification called Dungeon. The parish contains, by estimation, nearly 1700 acres of rich land, and the population about 300.^[1]

In the customary of Milton, under Knolle, Henry de Glanville held two virgates of land of the Abbot in Wolverne Wooton, paying yearly the sum of 18d. for all services. Tie also held lands in Somerset in 1213. #N00451 De Glanville and his wife Philippa, with consent of his heirs, granted to Osbert de Bradleia and his heirs, for the said homage and service, his lands in Church Cnolla (Knolle), which Robert, the son of Osana, held of the fee of Witona. For this donation, Osbert de Bradleia paid to Henry de Glanville, "in recognitionem," twenty shillings, to Philippa de Glanville his wife two shillings, to Galfrid de Glanville his son one shilling, and to John the son of Galfrid also one shilling. The witnesses to this deed were Henry de Stokes, Roger de Glanville, Richard de Stokes, Robert de Clavill, Will' Cl'ico de Stupel, etc. Henry de Glanville married Philippa, daughter of Lord de Gant. The arms of this alliance are still to be seen at Richard's Castle.

The issue of this marriage were Geoffrey (Galfrid) de Glanville and Margaret de Glanville.
