Henry was 16 years of age at his father's death, yet already renowned for his skill in tourney, and the promise he gave of becoming a stout and fearless captain, and in the records of Alnwick. "He became beyond all his forebears the most famous and powerful." In 1322 he was knighted and accompanied the king on an expedition to the walls of Edinburgh. Against Edward II favorites, Hugh le Despenser, Sr. and Jr., Percy made a firm stand, and he was of the party of Queen Isabel until after the murder of the King (Edward II), her behavior and that of Roger Mortimer set all that was honest in England against them. It was then that the Lord of Alnwick drew his sword for the young King, Edward III, and his name was in the list of Peers who passed sentence upon Mortimer. He was made Governor of the Castles of Pickering and Scarborough, Guardian of Portre Castle in Northumberland 1326, Warden of Skipton Castle and of the Scotch Marches 1327. Summoned to Parliament 1322-1351. He died suddenly at Alnwick Feb. 17, 1352.
