  VI. HENRY III. I have dated the death ofHenry II 1242-3 but it is not certain. In that year a Henry de Brailsford heldhalf a fee in Brailsford. (B.F. 994)., Henry f. Robert the father of Henry IIIpresented the church of Brailsford to Darley and between July, 1241 and February, 1245, a controversy arose over the presentation to this benefice between Walter, the abbot, and Henry, lord of Brailsford. The disputant must have been, one would imagine, the son of the donor. The date of this dispute is fixed by the intervention of Hugh de Pateshull, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1240-44. The matter was settled by the abbot agreeing that the right of presentation should remain to Henry and his heirs for ever. (C. Darley 137). In 1252-3 Henry acted as Escheator of Derbyshire. (R. Lit. Claus. 1251-53, 38, 213, 377). In1254 be gave a receipt for eight marcs which he had received from prior William of Tutbury out of the 16 marcs due to him for a fine and concord made betweenthem in the "County" of Nottingham after a duel waged, for services and customs which Henry claimed in the prior's manor of Ednaston. In August a receipt wasgiven for the full sum. (C. Tut. ccxxi). He is said to have married Isabel, sister and heir of Ralph Picot. (H. B. 94). He witnessed various deeds between 1250-58. (J. 332, 1561, and Radbourne Ch. 15). The date of his death is uncertain. In July, 1287 a Robert de Brailsford was sued by Adeline, widow of Atropius de Osmaston. It would seem that, although outlawed, he was not guilty of the murder. (C.I.M. 1416). In 1284 Laurence de Rolleston, Robert de Brailsford and other tenants of Etwall were sued by William f. Henry de Legh for lands which Ralph Pipard had given Robert de Legh in free marriage with his sister. The Thomas de Brailsford, rector of Brailsford, living in 1281-1337 may have been a son ofHenry, as well as the above mentioned Robert. (F.H.D. II. 317; C. Der. 137. d.; J. 366).
