Sir Richard de Percy (c. 1166-1244), 5th Baron Percy, was a Magnate from the North of England, and a participant in the First Barons' War.[1] He was the son of Agnes de Perci, suo jure Baroness Percy, the heiress of the Percy estates, and her husband Joscelin of Louvain (1121-1180), who was styled "brother of the queen" (referring to Adeliza of Louvain, second wife of Henry I).[1] It is from this marriage descends the House of Percy, following the assumption of the name Percy by Louvain.[1][2] Percy was one of the twenty five barons appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Carta. Along with his nephew William (c. 1183-1245), latterly the 6th Baron Percy, he was amongst the lords who rose in arms against King John and his estates declared forfeit.[1] Upon John's death Percy immediately made his peace with Henry III, and had his lands restored to him.[2] Baron Percy died in 1244, and is buried at Whitby Abbey.[2] References "Percy, Richard de" .
