Biography

It's rather refreshing the amount of evidence and degree to which we can make conclusions about Henry. Rare to have so much early evidence.

In particular, to deduce two spouse's maiden surnames is quite rare in the 13th century.

7-Jun-1276, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, England^[1]

Maud, widow of Rich. Adynet (sells) Henry, son of John de Garscryke of Barton; 2 tofts and 4 bovates of land in Barton' for 40s/yr for the life of Maud, then Henry quit of payment, and holds for his heirs...(snip)...Henry has given her 1 sore sparrowhawk.

Note: a sore sparrowhawk is one less than one yr old; but it more likely refers to a 'token price' like 'dry bones' and other strange items sometimes given in ancient deeds.

This type of transaction should always suggest that there was a relationship, when something of great value is given for a token. Perhaps an inheritance. Perhaps even an earlier 1st marriage settlement undocumented

Research Notes
