Knighted, after 3rd Crusade by King Richard the Lionhearted.
I don't think his father is Henry. DSP
Fowlers went to England with William the Conqueror in 106
6 and their names appear on the taxation and military recor
ds. In 1191 Richard Fowler of Foxley, Co. of Buckingham, ac
companied Richard the Lionhearted in the 3rd Crusade. It wa
s said that his services was so brilliant that King Richar
d bestowed upon him the crest with our family's present coa
t of arms and a grant of land in Abbey-Cwyn-Hir.
From this Sir Richard Fowler we are direct decendents, Si
r William Fowler of Oxford was 4th in decent from Sir Richa
rd and the father of the 2nd Sir Richard who was knighted b
y King Edwafrd IV. The 2nd son of Sir William was Thomas, a
nd his 2nd son was William, a poet in the court of James V
I in 1560.
