Sir Henry de Grey was in great favour with Richard, Coeur de Lion, as is manifested by the grant which that prince made to him of the manor of Turrock, in Essex, afterwards called Thurrock Grey, whereof also he had a confirmation by King John, with whom he continued in great estimation. In 8th of Richard I, William de Brewere, Sheriff, gave account of 100 s. of Henry de Grey scutage for 5 knights' fees, because he was in the King's service beyond the sea. In 1st of Henry III, 1216, he had a grant of the manor of Grimston, County Nottingham, from Robert Bardolph, for his support of the King's service. This Robert Bardolph died 9th of Henry III, 1225, when the said Henry Grey, having married Isolda Bardolph, daughter of Hugh and niece of the said Robert, shared with Maud Bardolph and others all the lands of the said Robert. They had six sons; Richard, whose principal seat was at Codnor, County Derby, John, Justice of Chester, ancestor of the Greys of Ruthven and Wilton, William, of Nottingham and Derby, Robert, of Rotherfield, Walter, Archbishop of York, and Henry.
The manor of Thurrock, in the County of Essex, was conferred upon this Henry de Grey by King Richard I, in the sixth year of his reign (1194). The grant was afterwards confirmed by King John, who vouchsafed, by special charter, to permit said Henry de Grey to hunt the hare and fox in any land belonging to the crown, save the king's own demesne parks. In 1216 King Henry III gave him the manor of Grimston, in the County of Nottingham
