| Henry de Percy Birth: 1449 - Leconfield, Yorkshire, England Death: 28 Apr 1489 (aged 39–40) - Topcliffe, Yorkshire, England Burial: Beverley Minster Churchyard, Beverley, Yorkshire, England Memorial ID: 69493007 Earl of Northumberland, Lord Percy, Warden of the East and Middle Marches. Steward of Knaresborough, Sheriff of Northumberland. Son and heir to Sir Henry Percy and Lady Eleanor Poynings, grandson to Sir Henry Percy and Eleanor Neville, Sir Richard Poynings and Eleanor de Berkeley. Husband of Maud Herbert, daughter of Sir William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke and Anne Devereaux, descendant of King John. They were married about 1476 and had four sons and three daughters: * Henry Algernon, Earl of Northumberland * Sir William de Percy * Alan de Percy * Joscelin de Percy * Eleanor, wife of Edward Stafford * Anne, wife of Sir William Arundel, Earl of Arundel * Elizabeth de Percy Sir Henry's father was loyal to the House of Lancaster, and killed in the Battle of Towton in 1461. The earldom of Northumberland was taken by the Yorkists, young Percy was imprisoned in the Fleet Prison, removed to the Tower of London in 1464. In 1465, John Neville was made Earl of Northumberland, Percy swore allegiance to King Edward IV and was released in 1469, requesting the return of his father's titles and estates. With Edward IV's support, John Neville had to relinquish the title and was named Marquess of Montagu in stead, in 1470. Sir Henry commanded the Yorkist reserve at the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485, but never committed his forces to the battle, which action was considered to be desertion and a contributingfactor to the defeat and death of King Richard. Henry VII imprisoned Percy, along with Ralph Neville, 3rd Earl of Westmorland and Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. King Henry released him under surety, eventually restoring him to his titles and offices. Two theories abound regarding his inaction: he favored Henry, or he was unable to take part in the battle proceeding the death of King Richard. In April 1489, Percy held temporary residence in his estates of Yorkshire, where he was assigned to levy unpopular tax increases created by warfare. Sir John Egremont of Yorkshire led a riot in protest at the high taxation, known as the Yorkshire rebellion. Percy was one of the targets and killed on 28 April, buried at Beverley Minster with Maud who had died just a few years beforel. Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
