Notes |
- Sir Henry de Greene, Lord Chancellor and High Commissioner of England, a remarkable lawyer. He married Matilda, daughter of Lord Thomas Mawdint. When Bolingbroke, Henry IV rebelled against King Richard II, Sir de Greene could had escaped, be he stayed behind to assist the helpless young Queen. Bolingbroke seized him and without a semblance of a trial or justification, had him beheaded July 30, 1399. All the rest of his life, Henry IV was in terror of his ghost. He thought he saw Sir de Greene again and again to reproach him. Every time he saw de Greene's ghost, he gave back some of de Greene's property to his family.--http://www.andymcarthur.com/

"Sir Henry (2) de Greene de Boketon, the second son of Sir Henry (1) de Greene de Boketon, was made the heir of his father in spite of the English law of primogenture through a special license given by the king. Sir Henry was a very rich man and possessed many estates. He married Matilda, sole heiress of her father, Lord Thomas Mauduit, who also had five lordships and other fair possessions. Sir Henry was a man of ability and became as prominent a statesman as his father had been. He was a member of the house of commons, and one of its leaders. He was knighted and became one of the king's near counselors. As a favorite of the king, he received many more manors and estates. Sir Henry was one of a commission appointed over King Richard H., whose eccentricity amounted almost to insanity, and as such counseled the king to confiscate the estates of the banished Henry Bolingbroke, duke of Hereford and Lancaster. After the overthrow of Richard, Sir Henry was taken prisoner by Bolingbroke and beheaded in the market square in Bristol, September 2, 1399. Shakespeare devotes much of Acts I. and II. of his Richard II. to Sir Henry Greene. The children of Sir Henry and Lady Matilda were Ralph, John, Thomas, Henry, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Mary.
