Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Henry Greene was born in of Boughton, Northamptonshire, England; died on 6 Aug 1369 in Northamptonshire, England; was buried in Boughton, Northamptonshire, England.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Alternate birth: of Greene's Norton, Northamptonshire, England

    Notes:

    The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says his father was "Henry Green of Isham." Wikipedia, referencing William Richard Cutter's 1915 New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial -- not a source we would rely on for medieval genealogy -- says 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." The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz, sensibly, gives his parentage as unknown.

    From Wikipedia:

    Sir Henry Green [...] 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). [...] 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.

    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.

    "A supporter of Richard II, he fell into the hands of Henry of Bolingbroke when Bristol Castle, to which he had fled for safety, was treacherously surrendered 29 July 1399, and was promptly beheaded along with the Earl of Wiltshire." [The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz, citation details below.]

    From Wikipedia:

    He became a close confidante of King Richard II. Along with Sir John Bussy and Sir William Bagot he was appointed one of the eccentric Richard's 'continual councillors' who gained an unsavoury reputation. At one point they advised the king to confiscate the lands of the exiled Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Hereford.

    When Bolingbroke returned from exile in 1399 to reclaim his inheritance, the three councillors decided flight was the best option. Bussy and Green sought sanctuary in Bristol Castle but were delivered up to Bolingbroke on 23 July 1399, who had them beheaded the following day.

    All three continual councillors (referred to as "caterpillars") feature in Shakespeare's historical play King Richard II, generally listed as "Bushy, Baghot and Green". Green also appears in the anonymous Elizabethan play Thomas of Woodstock.
