1st Lord Grey of Codnor, Derbyshire, Essex, Kent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_de_Grey
"Henry campaigned in Gascony 1294-1297 and was with Edward Longshanks at the 
siege of Carlaverock in 1300. Henry campaigned in Scotland as late as 1306.

Henry was called to Parliament and was therefore later deemed to have been the 1st 
Baron Grey of Codnor, but this claim was disallowed on review in 1989. Henry married 
Eleanor de Redvers, daughter of Hugh de Courtenay, the 1st Earl of Devon. Their 
daughter Lucia married a son of Roger de Somerie."

Sir Henry de Grey saw military service under Edward I, was summoned to Parliament 
by writ in 1299, and before that on the Gascony campaign of 1294-97. He campaigned 
with Edward I at the Siege of Caerlaverock, and may have been with him on his last 
and fatal campaign across the Solway Firth in 1306-07. He seems to have been 
summoned to the Model Parliament as one of the King's great nobles. His first wife 
was Eleanor Courtenay, sister of the 1st Earl of Devon, a fellow officer. After her 
death he married Joan, daughter of Sir Ralph de Cromwell by 6 June 1301. He only left 
three children before he died in September 1308. His eldest, Sir Richard (1282-1335) 
was one of the Lords ordainer who rebelled against the Despencers, favourites of 
Edward II, but was subsequently pardoned in 1321. His son, Sir John took his mother's 
FitzPayne lands in Nottingham, distinguished himself on the battlefield in Scotland and 
was appointed a Knight of the Garter. Lord Grey was at the Battle of Crecy and Siege 
of Calais. He was appointed Keeper of Rochester Castle, and married Alice, daughter 
of Sir Warren de Lisle, himself a distinguished soldier. His son, Sir Henry married the 
daughter of one of the most distinguished generals of Edward III's court, Sir Reynold 
de Cobham KG, a brilliant commander, victorious in many battles and ancestor of the 
Viscounts Cobham. Grey married Joan de Cobham who gave birth to Richard, 1st 
Baron Grey de Codnor.[2]
