Sir Henry Green, Lord of Boughton,[1] (died 6 August 1369) was an English lawyer, and Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 24 May 1361 to 29 October 1365. He was speaker of the House of Lords in two Parliaments (1363-64).[2] Although no formal records exist to confirm it, he almost certainly was the son of Sir Thomas de Grene, Lord of Boughton and Lucy la Zouche, daughter of Eudo la Zouche and Millicent de Cantilupe.[2] Early in his career he served both Queen consort Isabel and her grandson, Edward the Black Prince. He was made justice of the Court of Common Pleas in 1354, and knighted by King Edward III. In 1357 he was excommunicated for non-appearance at the trial of Thomas de Lisle, bishop of Ely, in Avignon.[3] In 1365, while Chief Justice, he was arrested along with Sir William de Skipwith, the chief baron of the exchequer, and stripped of his office. The charges were probably corruption; both Green and Skipwith were fined for their offenses. There is no evidence of permanent disgrace and although he was never again employed by the courts, he kept his considerable estates. Green married Katherine Drayton, daughter of Sir Simon Drayton.[1][2] Their descendants include Queen Catherine Parr, the last consort of King Henry VIII. He died in 1369, and was buried in the church in Boughton in Northamptonshire. At his death his possessions descended on his two sons Henry and Thomas. Henry Green the younger was executed in 1399 at Bristol Castle by the Duke of Hereford (the future Henry IV) for his role as a councillor of Richard II.[3] During his life he is credited to have bought the village of Greens Norton, in Northamptonshire for a price of 20 shillings.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henry "6th Lord of Boketon" De Grene (wikipedia) was born 1310 in Boughton (Boketon). He had the title of Sir Henry de Green, Lord of Broughton. In 1345 he was sergeant-at-Law at England. In 1354 he was Justice of the King's Bench at England. He was excommunicated by the Pope for pronouncing judgement against the bishop of Ely. Between 24 May 1361 and 28 Oct 1365 he was Chief Justice of England (appt. by King Edward III) and between 1363 and 1364 he was Speaker of the House of Lords in two Parliaments. He was one of King Edward III’s most trusted advisors and the foremost lawyer of his day. Sir Henry's rank would not permit his pleading before the bar, but he put all his mental acumen and legal knowledge at his royal master's command. He was a Commissioner to examine certain abuses of which there was great complaint. He held several positions, titles and appointments and always remained employed with special trust and authority under the ministers that the king had left to govern the land in all the wars he had made in France in 1364 and finally became the King's nearest Counsel(State Cabinet). And such was his good fortune, he left to his posterity one of the most considerable estates of that age. He died possessed of his ancient manor of Buckton, of Greene's Norton, East Neaston, Heydmon Court, Heybourn, Ashby Mares, and Dodington, with lands in Whittlebury, Paulsbury, and Northampton; the lordships of Drayton, Luffwich, Pesford, Islip, Shipton, Wolston, Wamingdon, Chalton, Houghton, Boteahaseall, with lands in Harringsworth, Harrowden, Hardwich, Raunds, Ringstead, Titchmarsh, Warrington, and sundry other places. His second marriage was to Katherine Drayton, daughter of Sir Simon Drayton of Drayton. He purchased Norton Davey for 20 shillings in 1359 which became Greens Norton. He died August 6, 1369 and was buried in the church in Boughton in Northamptonshire.
