Henry Beaumont, He is generally supposed to come from France, on the instance of Queen Eleanor, wife of King Edward I, for Isabel, his sister, (wife of John, Lord Vesci, of Alnewicke, one of the greatest Barons of the North), is styled in our records, kinswoman to that Queen; and the said Henry, himself, (in 1 Ed II) is styled, Consanguinens Regis; at which time, (in consideration of his eminent services to King Edward I.) he had a grant, in fee, of Folkingham, with several other manors, in Lincolnshire, and of all the knights’ fees, belonging to Gilbert de Gaunt, which was widow then held in dower. In 2 Ed. II. he was joined in commission with others, for guarding the marches of Scotland; and the next year, being made constable of Roxborough castle, he was again sent, with the Earl of Hereford, and Robert de Clifford, to guard the marches; likewise on the death of Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, the custody of the castle of Somerton was given to him for life, (being at that time constable of the castle of Dumfreeze); also the same year, he was made King of the Isle of Man, for life, by the same tenure its Lords usually performed to the Kings of Scotland. In 7 Ed. II he was a commissioner, to whom the seneschal of Gascoign was to attend, on matters agitated in the parliament of Paris, before the end of which year, being again employed in Scotland, he was at the siege of Strivelin, and the fatal battle of Bannocksborne. In 10 Ed II he was the King’s lieutenant for the North; and the next year governor of the castle of Montandre, in Gascoign; and the year following, joined with Andrew de Harcla, Earl of Carlisle, to restrain the incursions of the Scots. He married --, one of the coheiresses of Alexander, Earl of Boghan, in whose right he was constable of Scotland, and had the manor of Whitwicke, in Leicestershire, and some part of the estate there, has continued in the family ever since; though that manor together with Loughborough, and several others, were taken away by an attainder, 1 Edw IV, for the Lord Beaumont’s siding with Hen VI and granted to Sir William (afterwards Lord) Hastings, an ancestor to the late Earl of Huntingdon.
