Henry de Percy, 9th Baron Percy and 2nd Baron Percy of Alnwick (1299–1352) was 
the son of Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Alnwick, and Eleanor Fitzalan, daughter 
of Richard FitzAlan, 8th Earl of Arundel.

Henry was sixteen when his father died, so the Barony was placed in the custody of

Zouche to negotiate the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton.[4] This was an unpopular 
treaty and peace between England and Scotland lasted only five years.

of Skipton. Was granted, by Edward III, the castle and barony of Warkworth in 1328. 
He was at the siege of Dunbar and the Battle of Halidon Hill and was subsequently 
appointed constable of Berwick-upon-Tweed.[5] In 1346, Henry commanded the right 
wing of the English, at the Battle of Neville's Cross.[6]
