Henry de Audley (1175 – 1246), or Henry de Aldithel and Alditheley, was an English 
baron.[1]

Biography[edit]

Audley was a royalist baron, born about 1175 to Adam de Alditheley, who held 
Alditheley (Staff.) from the Verdons in 1186. He began his career as constable to 
Hugh de Lacy (whose first wife was a Verdon) when Earl of Ulster, and, on Hugh's 
disgrace (1214), attached himself to Ranulph, the great royalist Earl of Chester, and 
was rewarded by the crown with a forfeited estate (1216). He endowed the nearby 
Cistercian Abbey of St. Mary at Hulton in 1223, and donated to it a large amount of 
land, some of which was an inheritance from his mother and some of which was 
purchased.[2]

He served as sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire 1227 and 1229, as deputy for the 
Earl of Chester, from whom he obtained large grants of lands. On acquiring Heleigh 
Castle he made it his chief seat, but was entrusted by the crown, with the 
constableship of several castles on the Welsh borders from 1223 to his death, which 
took place shortly before 11 November 1246, when his son James de Audley did 
homage
