Henry de Percy 1341-1408

Oldest of two sons of Henry de Percy, 3rd Baron de Percy of Alnwick and his first wife, Lady Mary Plantagenet. His brother, Thomas, would become the first and last Earl of Worcester while Henry became the 4th Baron de Percy and the 1st Earl of Northumberland. 

Henry married Margaret de Neville on July 12, 1358, the daughter of Ralph de Neville, 2nd Baron Neville de Raby and Alice de Audley. They were the parents of
Henry 1364-1403 Lord Percy m Elizabeth de Mortimer
Ralph 1365-1397 m Phillipa Atholl, no issue
Thomas 1366-1388 m Phillipa Atholl
Possibly Margaret and Alan

After Margaret died in 1372, Henry married again about 1383, to Maud Lucy, daughter of Thomas de Lucy, 2nd Lord Lucy and Margaret de Multon, but had no children.

Henry was loyal to Edward III, and held high positions in northern England's administration offices. in 1362, he was made Warden of the Scotland Marches, and given the supervision of all Scottish marches castle and fortifications in February of 1367. 

When his father died in 1368, Henry succeeded him as the 4th Baron de Percy of Alnwick Castle, where he was born. 
Kind Edward died in 1377, replaced by Richard II, who Henry supported until Richard made Ralph de Neville the Earl of Westmorland in 1397, when Ralph and Henry, after Margaret's death, became rivals. Henry and his brother, Thomas, both turned their loyalties to Henry Bolingbroke, the son of John of Gaunt and Blanche of Lancaster, who would become King Henry IV. After Henry's coronation (and Richard's untimely and sudden death), Henry de Percy was appointed Constable of England and granted the Isle of Man, but given the task of quelling the Welsh rebellions led my Owain Glyndwir. By this time, Henry's son, Henry 'the hotspur' was old enough to join forces with his father. 

Then in 1403, Henry turned against Henry IV in favor of Edmund Mortimer who conspired with Owain, as he laid claim to the throne through his father as a direct descendant of Edward. Henry would lose his brother, Thomas, at the Battle of Shrewbury July 21, 1403 (his son Henry Hotspur would lead the battle against Henry IV), and Henry would meet his end only five years later at the Battle of Branham Moor in 1408, invading Northern England and well defeated.

His son, Henry Hotspur, met a similar fate, killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury, buried on Henry IV's orders, but later exhumed as rumors proclaimed Hotspur still alive. He was impaled on a spear, then cut into quarters to be sent all over England. His head was placed on a pole at York's gates.

The Percy line would continue into the twenty first century, still living at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland. 

Henry de Percy 1320-1368

Third Baron de Percy of Alnwick

The oldest son of ten children of Henry de Percy, the 2nd Baron de Percy of Alnwick and Idoine de Clifford. Grandson of Sir Henry de Percy and Eleanor de Arundel FitzAlan, Sir Robert Clifford and Maud de Clare.

In September of 1344 at Tutbury Castle, Staffordshire, Henry married Lady Mary Plantagenet, the daughter of Henry Plantagenet, 3rd Earl of Lancaster and Matilda de Chaworth. They had two sons:
Henry 1341-1408 the 4th Baron de Percy and 1st Earl of Northumbria
Thomas 1343-1403 1st and last Earl of Worcester

Mary died in 1362 and Henry married Joan de Orreby, daughter of John, Lord Orreby in 1365. Their children were a son who died early and Mary 1360-1394, who married John de Ros, 5th Lord de Ros of Helmsley.

Henry fought under Richard FitzAlan, the Earl of Arundel, at the Battle of Creicy August 26, 1346 in northern France, then transferred to Gascony under Henry of Grosmont, the Earl of Lancaster. He was made joint warden for the Scottish marches July 1352, the same year he came into his inheritance following his father's death. Henry was also the keeper of Roxburgh Castle and sheriff of Northumberland in 1355, which he served for two years. 
For the next five years, Henry would fight in France and Scotland under Edward III, from the Scottish marches to the capture of Rheims. When Edward Balliol's surrendered of the kingdom and crown of Scotland to Edward III in 1356, Henry participated in the ensuing invasion of Scotland. 

His oldest son, Henry, would succeed him, and his second son, Thomas, who would become and first and last Earl of Worcester. Both sons would join the rebellion against King Richard and then King Henry IV, Thomas would be captured at the Battle of Shrewsbury, Henry at the Battle of Branham Moor, both executed by beheading and their heads on display on London Bridge, thus ending the Percy rebellion.

Sir Henry de Percy 1301-1352

9th Baron Percy and 2nd Baron Percy of Alnwick. Oldest of two sons of Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Alnwick, and Eleanor Fitz Alan, daughter of Richard Fitz Alan, 8th Earl of Arundel.

Percy's father died in 1314 when Percy was only sixteen, and John de Felton was selected as regent for the Barony.

During his reign, King Edward II of England gave Henry lands previously belonging to Patrick IV, Earl of March, in Northumberland, made Henry governor of Pickering Castle and of the town and castle of Scarborough. Henry was later knighted at York. Henry joined in the removal of the Despensers, the family that influenced Edward against his son, Edward III.

Percy, along with Sir William la Zouche, helped bring about the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton, signed by Robert the Bruce in 1328, ending the war ongoing since 1296. The treaty, which recognized Scotland as an independent country run by Bruce, lasted only five years. Edward III would end the treaty and plunge the two countries back into war. 

Edward III appointed Percy to his council in 1327, and given the manor and castle of Skipton, as well as the castle and barony of Warkworth in 1328.

In 1329, Percy established a chantry to assure safe passage to heaven and to celebrate his divine soul. 

When the Scottish wars resumed, Percy was at the on Battle of Halidon Hill at Berwick, July 19, 1333, where the Scots took a heavy toll, and Percy was appointed constable of Berwick. Percy also commanded the right wing of the English forces at the Battle of Neville's Cross, October 17, 1346, where the Scotland's King David II was captured.

Percy married Idoine de Clifford, daughter of Robert de Clifford, 1st Lord Clifford and Maud de Clare, in 1314 in Yorkshire, England. He was the father of the following children, all born at Alnwick Castle:
Margaret 1318-1375 m Sir Robert de Umfreville & Sir William Ferrers

Jeremiah Percival and Ebenezer Percival

Newspaper clipping from ancestry:

You are hereby notified that Jeremiah Percival, Administrator of the estate of said deceased, will present his account for allowance at the Probate Court to be holden at Barker's Hotel in Woodstock on the first Wednesday in June next, at which time and place you will appear, if you see fit, and shew cause, if any you have, why the account of said Administrator should not be allowed.
Given in Probate Court at Hartford, this 21st day of March, A.D. 1821.
By order of the Court
Norman Williams, Register

Jeremiah is listed as a Sergeant, in the book "History of Norwich, VT - Roster of the Revolutionary Soldiers at Norwich."

1810 - Jeremiah is listed in New Hampshire with 8 household members

The family of Ebenser, Sr., lived in the Northwestern part of E. Haddam near the adjoining town of Colchester and they attended church in the West Parrish of Colchester. The gravestones of his parents James and Elizabeth Percival are in the old cemetery at West Chester. Ebenezer and Lucy were members of the church at West Chester and baptized there though born in the limits of E. Haddam. On June 1, 1766, Ebenezer and Lucy were dismissed to the church in Ellington, Ct., (a parish in East Windsor, the church records at Ellington are all lost.) Mr. Brainard thinks without doubt that Warren and Roswell were born to them in Ellington. In 1778 Ebenzer and Lucy were back in Westchester and did not move to Vt. until after that date, but as his name appears on the Revolutionary Rolls of Vt. in 1780 it was not long after this date.
Ebenezer Percival appears on the payroll of Capt. Timothy Bush's company under the direction of Col. Peter Olcott at the time the enemy came to Royalton. Dated Oct. 16, 1780. Vermont Pay Rolls by Goodrich, Page 259.

Ebenezer and his wife died within five days of each other. The spring seasons of New England of 1812 and 1813, many fell victim to what was called "spotted fever" and then "malignant fever" but what is now thought to have been cerebro-spinal-meningitis. Two sons, Ebenezer and Stephen died the same spring.

Pepin I of Landen

Advisor to Dagobert, son of Lothiar, son of Clovis I
Married the daughter of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz
Founded the Frankish Carolingian line

Pippin of Landen (or Pepin; Fr. Pépin), also known as Pippin I, Pippin the Elder, or Pippin the Old (580–February 27, 640), was the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia under the Merovingian kings Clotaire II, Dagobert I, and Sigebert III from 615 or c.623 to 629, when Dagobert retired him. He took the post again at Dagobert's death in 639 until his own on February 27, 640. Along with Arnulf of Metz, he was one of the leaders of the revolt against Brunhilda, which saw her tortured to death at the hands of her enemies.

His byname comes from his birthplace of Landen, Belgium. His name gave itself to the Pippinids, for he was their first ancestor with that distinguished name.

Though Pippin was never canonised, he is listed as a saint in some old martyrologies (feast day: 21 February).

When King Sigebert III died in 656, Grimoald the Elder had Sigebert's son Dagobert II shorn of hair and packed off to an Irish monastery and then proclaimed his own son, Childebert the Adopted (or Adoptivus), king of Austrasia

Won territories of Austrasia and Neustria at the Battle of Tertry. Pippin of Herstal (or Pepin; Fr. Pépin), also known as Pippin the Middle, Pippin the Younger (as with his grandson), or Pippin II, (635 or 640–December 16, 714, Jupille) was the grandson of Pippin (I) the Elder through the marriage of Ansegisel and Begga, the daughter of the Elder. He was born in Héristal (now Herstal, Belgium), hence his byname. His other bynames and his ordinal number come from his position as the second "Pippin" (of three) in the Arnulfing dynasty. He was the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia from 680 and of Neustria and Burgundy from 687 until his death in 714. He gradually came to control the Frankish court.

With his wife Plectrude, he had the following issue:

Drogo (c.670-708), duke of Champagne and mayor of the palace of Burgundy

Grimoald II (d.714), mayor of the palace of Neustria

With his mistress Alpaida, he had the following issue:

Charles Martel (August 23, 686-October 22, 741), duke of the Franks

Childebrand (d.751), duke of Burgundy

More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippin_of_Herstal

He was also known as Quentin of Peronne. He was also known as Beringer de Bayeux. Pepin first appears in 834 as a count to the north of the Seine and then appears as same again in 840. In that year, he supported Lothair I against Louis the Pious.

Pepin's wife is unknown, but his heir inherited much Nibelungid territory and so historian K. F. Werner hypothesised a marriage to a daughter Theodoric Nibelung. He has a dtr named Cunigunda listed, but Stoyan lists Cunigunda as a daughter of Herbert, not Pipin.

Some people note Abigail's last name as Allen and make her the daughter of Samuel Allen & Mary French. Below is the source for Abigail Penniman. Possibly, the Allen connection has only been assumed.

Source for Penniniman, Abigail:

The will of her mother Lydia Eliot Penniman Wight bequeathed 10 £ "to my daughter Abigail Carie"

Her will was probated 2/12/1730 and administered by son Benjamin and son-in-law Samuel Howland (6:353). It mentions sons Eleazer, James, Benjamin and Josiah; only daughter Abigail Howland; Jemima Cary, daughter of Josiah Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary , daughter of John deceased; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Eleazer Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Jame s Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Benjamin Cary; granddaughter Abigail Howland, daughter of Abigail Howland; and grandson John, son of John Cary. )

Orderic gives Geoffrey a very high character. "This Count," he tells us, "was magnanimous, handsome, and strong; he feared God, was a devout friend of the Church, a staunch protector of her clergy and the poor. In peace he was gentle and courteous, and of most obliging manners; in war he was powerful and successful, and became formidable to the neighbouring princes who were his enemies. The nobility of his own birth and that of his wife Beatrice rendered him illustrious above all his compeers, and he had amongst his subjects warlike barons and brave governors of castles. He gave his daughters in marriage to men of the rank of counts: Margaret to Henry, Earl of Warwick, and Juliana to Gilbert de l'Aigle, from whom sprung a noble race of handsome children. The glory of Count Geofirey was exalted by such a progeny, and he maintained it by his valour and courage, his wealth, and alliances. Above all, having the fear of God, he feared no man, but marched boldly with a lion's port. Laying claim to the strong Castle of Domfront, which had belonged to his great-grandfather, Warin de Belesme, and other domains as his right, he endeavoured to dispossess his cousin Robert (de Belesme) of them. He was grieved to harass the unarmed and innocent, but he could not bring the public enemy (for such assuredly was Robert de Belesme) with whom he had a just quarrel to a fair field for deciding it. Towards the close of the year 1100, Geoffrey fell sick unto death, and having called about him the lords of Le Perche and Le Corbonnais, who were vassals to him as Count of Mortagne, he put his affairs in order with great wisdom, praying them to keep his lands and strong places for his only son Rotrou, who had gone in pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Then the brave lord having duly received all the rites of the Church, and assumed the habit of a Cluniac monk, died in his Castle of Nogent-le-Rotrou in October 1100, and was buried in the church of the monastery of St. Dionysius the Areopagite, founded in 1030 by his grandfather, Geoffrey 1, and which he richly endowed with lands and other possessions. At the close of the year his son Rotrou returned in safety from the Holy Land, and took possession of his estates. On the fifth day after reaching home, being Sunday, he paid his devotions at the Church of St Denis, at Nogent, where his father had been buried, and made his offering on the altar of St. Denis, with the palms he had brought from Jerusalem.

By his wife Beatrice, daughter of Hilduin, fourth Comte de Montdidier and Ronci, Geoffrey had besides Rotrou, who succeeded him, and the two daughters named above, a third, daughter named Mahaut or Mathilde, married first to Raymond l, Vicomte de Turenne, and secondly to Gui de las Tours, in Limousin.

From his daughter Margaret, Countess of Warwick, descended the celebrated Beauchamps and Nevils, Earls of Warwick, and many other illustrious personages.
