The above-noted 1399 parliament was the brief gathering that, in September, confirmed the abdication of Richard II and, six days later, met again as the first parliament of Henry IV. This was his last parliamentary service, but the last decades of his life were busy nonetheless:

From The Parliamentary Representation of the County of York, 1258-1832 (citation details below):

On 30 Nov., as the Kg’s kt, he was granted an annuity of £50 and also received lett. of exemp. from jury serv. and appt as shf, esch. or cor.

However, he took an active part in affairs under the new sovereign; he was appd on comms. of array in Northumberland and the N.R. in Dec. 1399 and was several times commd to negotiate for peace with the Scots. He appears continuously in the comm, of the peace for Northumberland until Feb. 1406/7, and for the N.R. until Nov. 1416. He did not sit again in pari, but in 1401 he was summd from the bpric of Durham to att. a council held on 16 Aug. On 11 May 1402 he was among those appd to deal with the persons who were saying that the new Kg had not kept his promises to maintain the laws and customs of the realm. Most probably he fought at Homildon Hill, for the orders not to ransom any Scots prisoners were sent to him, and in Mar. 1402/3 he was commd to settle the dispute in court mil. between the retainers of the Nevilles and the Percies as to their rights in the captives.

With the outbreak of the Percy rising he was ord with others to assemble the men of Yorks, and Northumberland to resist the rebels and he appears on the comms. of array in the former co. and in the N.R. later in the yr. Afterwards as a recompense for his expenses he was granted the reversion of the man. of Newsom. On 13 Aug. 1403, he was included in a comm, of o.t. in the N.R. for all offences against the Kg's subjects since the time when Hen. IV left Leicester for the North, and on 1 Mar. 1403/4 was included in another regarding certain treasons committed in the bpric of Durham, while in Jul. 1405 he was appd to keep the peace and suppress unlawful assemblies in the lordship of Alnwick.

In 1404 and again in 1412, he was commd to conduct inquiries with a view to the assessment of the subsidy. On 28 Jun. 1406, he was appd to inquire about the peculation of shfs, eschs., and other royal officials in the N.R. and as to the value of royal grants made by the Kg or his predecessors, and was also empowered to bori ow money in the Kg’s name. Upon the provision of Thos de Langley to the see of Durham in this yr, Eure was appd one of the keepers of the temporalities for him. He was appd on a gen. comm, of o.t. for treason and felony in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland in Aug. 1407, and in Apr 1408 was commd to treat with certain rebels who wished to return to their allegiance.

Eure acted as lieutenant to the Marshal of England and an appeal was made against one of his judgements in that capacity in May 1411. Three yrs later his lett. of exemp. of 1399 were confirmed. He was once more appd commr of array in the N.R. on 28 May and on 11 Dec. was appd to negotiate for the exchange of Murdac, s. of the duke of Albany, for young Hen. Percy. Except for the comm, of the peace mentioned above he received no further charge, and as he would be now 65 he probably retired from public affairs.

Subject: Re: Looking for primary source documents on Idonia [Imania] de Clifford
Reply-To: Douglas Richardson

Dear Steve ~

The correct name of Henry de Percy's wife is Idoine de Clifford. "Idonia" or "Idonea" are the Latin forms of her name and should be avoided.

The parentage of Idoine de Clifford is hardly elusive as you imagine. There are no less than five separate visitations/medieval sources which name Idoine, wife of Sir Henry de Percy, as a Clifford, or the daughter of Lord Clifford:

1. Archaeologia Aeliana 3 (1844): 40 (Chronicles of Alnwick Abbey: "Iste Henricus disponsavit idoneam filiam Domini de Clyfford et genuit ex ea Anno Domini 1320 Henricum quartum et tertium Dominum de Alnewyk et alios plures filios et filias inter quos erat Thomas qui postea fuit Episcopus Norwicens ...").

2. Atkinson, Cartularium Abbathiæ de Whiteby 2 (Surtees Soc. 72) (1881): 690-696 (Percy ped.: "The fourth Henry Lord Percy ... gat on Idonea Clyfford Henry, William, Richard, Maude, Alianour Fitzwater, Roger, and Margarett that was maried to the Erle of Angus Sonne and his heire.").

3. Flower, Vis. of Yorkshire 1563-4 (H.S.P. 16) (1881): 241-244 (Percy ped.: "Henry 4 Lord Percy. = Ida doughter of the Lord Clyfford.").

This item is available online at the following weblink:

books.google.com/books?id=pjMEAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA242

4. Harvey et al., Vis. of the North 3 (Surtees Soc. 144) (1930): 18-20 (Percy ped.: "Henricus Percy = Idonea Clifforde").

This item is available online at the following weblink:

www.uiowa.edu/~c030149a/northern/surtees144text.pdf

5. Harvey et al., Vis. of the North 4 (Surtees Soc. 146) (1932): 17-24 (Lassels ped.: "Idonæ [Clifford] mar: to Henry lord Percy").

This item is available online at the following weblink:

www.uiowa.edu/~c030149a/northern/surtees146text.pdf

Given that we know that Sir Henry Percy was born in 1300 or 1301, and given that Henry's son and heir, also named Henry, was born about
1322-5, the birth of Idoine de Clifford would necessarily have to fall about 1300-1310. Given the chronology, Idoine de Clifford can be placed as a daughter of Robert de Clifford (died 1314), 1st Lord Clifford, and his wife, Maud de Clare, which Robert and Maud were married in 1295. Idoine de Clifford was surely named for her father's maternal aunt, Idoine de Vipont (died 1333), wife of Roger de Leybourne, Knt., and John de Cromwell, Knt., Lord Cromwell.

For interesting references to Idoine, wife of Sir Henry de Percy, see the following weblinks:

The tomb at Beverley Minster, Yorkshire which is now attributed to Idoine de Clifford, wife of Sir Henry de Percy, bears shields with various coats of arms, among them Clifford.

So far, I have been unsuccessful in locating any primary or contemporaneous records, documenting the parentage of Idonia [Imania] de Clifford, as the daughter of Lord Robert Clifford (killed in battle Bannockburn 24 Jun 1314) and Matilda de Clare. Idonia was also the wife of Sir Henry Percy (1301-1352).

I would sincerely welcome any assistance.

Thanks!
