Henry Percy, 9th Baron Percy of Topcliffe, 2nd Baron Percy of Alnwick (6 February 1301 – 26 February 1352) was the son of Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Alnwick, and Eleanor Fitzalan, daughter of Sir Richard FitzAlan, 8th Earl of Arundel, and sister of Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel.




Life


Henry was thirteen when his father died, so the barony was placed in the custody of John de Felton.
In 1316 he was granted the lands of Patrick IV, Earl of March, in Northumberland, by King Edward II of England. In 1322, was made governor of Pickering Castle and of the town and castle of Scarborough and was later knighted at York. Henry joined with other barons to remove the Despensers, who were favourites of Edward II.
Following a disastrous war with the Scots, Henry was empowered along with William Zouche to negotiate the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton. This was an unpopular treaty with the English, and peace between England and Scotland lasted only five years.
He was appointed to Edward III's council in 1327 and was given the manor and castle of Skipton. Edward III granted him the castle and barony of Warkworth in 1328. He was at the sieges of Dunbar and Berwick and the Battle of Halidon Hill, and was subsequently appointed constable of Berwick-upon-Tweed. In 1346, Henry commanded the right wing of the English, at the Battle of Neville's Cross.
In 1329, he founded a chantry, to celebrate divine service for his soul.
