NEWLIN, MINOR LINES - 24th ggrandfather
Bro. of Queen Adeliza, 2nd wife of Henry I; son of Godfry Barbatus, Duke of Lorraine and Count of Brabant, who was descended form the Emperor Charlemagne. Lady Agnes only consented to marry him with the understanding that Joscelyn would adopt either the Percy surname or arms. He chose the former, so as to retain his claim to the principality of his father, should the line of the reigning duke become extinct. Queen Adeliza as a wedding gift granted them the honour of Petworth, Sussex, comprising 21 knights' fees. Henry, the eldest son of this illustrious alliance, was the ancestor of the Percys of Northumberland, whose fame on the field of battle and brilliant marriages occurred with each of the 18 succeeding generations, covering a period of nearly 500 years.
