Family
Richard, 1 Dec 1202-8 Sep 1271, was the eldest surviving son of Henry de Grey of Thurrock, an Essex landowner owning the manors of Codnor in Derbyshire and Grimston in Nottinghamshire; and Isolda de Bardolf.
In the 6th year of the reign of King Richard I Henry de Grey was granted the manor of Thurrock in Essex, which was confirmed by King John. By 1201 he held the Manor of Codnor in Derbyshire, and in 1216 had been further granted the Manor of Grimston. He married, in about 1185, Isolda, a daughter of Robert Bardolf.
Richard de Grey married Lucy, the daughter and heir of John de Humez.
His eldest son John, b. about 1225, who died shortly after his father in 5 Jan 1272, married Lucy, the daughter of Sir Reynold de Mohun of Dunster.
John's eldest son was Henry de Grey ca. 1255-1 Sep 1308, of Codnor, Derbyshire; Grays Thurrock, Essex; Aylesford; and Hoo, Kent.
Henry campaigned in Gascony 1294-1297 and was with Edward Longshanks at the siege of Carlaverock in 1300. Henry campaigned in Scotland as late as 1306.
Henry was called to Parliament and was therefore later deemed to have been the 1st Baron Grey of Codnor, but this claim was disallowed on review in 1989. Henry married Eleanor de Redvers, daughter of Hugh de Courtenay, the 1st Earl of Devon. Their daughter Lucia married a son of Roger de Somerie.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Our civility, England determines the style of, inasmuch as England is the strongest of the family of existing nations, and as we are the expansion of that people. It is that of a trading nation; it is a shopkeeping civility. The English lord is a retired shopkeeper, and has the prejudices and timidities of that profession.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
