Henry Hussey, son of Matthew Hussey and Agnes de Saunford Hussey, was born August 1, 1240, according to "Complete
Peerage." He was married three times, firstly to Joan Le Fleming who bore him three sons :
i . Henry Hussey , Baron of Standen b: 21 DEC 1265 in Hussey Manor, Standen, Berkshire, England
ii. John Hussey b: 1266 in Hussey Manor, Standen, Berkshire, England
iii. Peter Hussey b: 1267 in Hussey Manor, Standen, Berkshire, England

The title granted to Henry, lord Hoese expired upon the death of Henry, second lord Hoese, 21 July 1349.
An Henry Hoese is found on the list of Lord Wardens of the Cinque Ports for a period between 1236-1241, this date would indicate he was nether the first nor second lord, but an ancestor of the same.

Henry Hussey, son of Matthew Hussey and Agnes de Saunford Hussey, was born August 1, 1240, according to "Complete Peerage." He appeared as a 13-year-old on August 1, 1253 at the Feast of St. Peter ad vincula, "the son and heir of Matthew Hoese who held Harting manor, Sussex and who was son and heir of Cecily Hoese, deceased, who held lands at Eling, Hampshire."

On March 3, 1252-53 the lands and marriage of Henry Hussey were granted in custody to John Maunsell, "provost of Beverly and treasurer of York," shortly after the death of his father. On January 9, 1252-53 there had been a ratification of covenants made between John Maunsell and Matthew Hussey regarding a marriage between Henry Hussey and Joan le Fleming, daughter of Alard le Fleming and Emma Maunsell le Fleming, sister to John Maunsell, according to "Honors and Knights' Fees." Alard le Fleming held Pulborough manor in Sussex and Sapperton manor in Gloucestershire. There was also included in the agreement an arrangement where John Maunsell would find a suitable husband for an unnamed daughter of Matthew Hussey.

Henry Hussey witnessed a land charter October 8, 1259, according to "Knights of Edward I." He and some friends were arrested for hunting in the king's private domain in Bernwood Forest. They received a pardon for their trespass February 14, 1262-63. On September 16, 1264 he received orders with others to come with horses and arms to Pevensy, Sussex to guard the coast during the Barons War. After the Battle of Evesham in Worcestershire fought on August 4, 1265 Henry Hussey led forces which captured Belaune manor, Hampshire and restored it to Sir Nicholas de Vaux, according to "Knights of Edward I." After the defeat of the barons under Simon de Montford, Earl of Leicester, "the king's enemy," Henry Hussey seized Chauton manor at Finchesdon, Hampshire "for the use of Prince Edward." He was ordered to "cede Porchester Castle" in the service of King Edward I November 24, 1265. He was listed as the owner of lands near Winchester, Hampshire February 27, 1266.

On April 9, 1266, at the instance of Prince Edward, he had license to enclose a place at Harting manor "with dike and wall of stone and lime and to crenellate the same." Henry Hussey was listed as the owner of lands at Winchelsea, Sussex February 27, 1266. On January 30, 1267-68 he and Robert de Rogate, the king's serjeant, an officer below the rank of knight who enforced the commands of the court, received a grant of a yearly fair at Rogate, Sussex.

In 1270 he held Standen Hussey manor, according to "History of Wiltshire." On December 12, 1270 he witnessed the charter of Queen Eleanor. On August 29, 1271 he had a grant of a weekly market at Harting manor and a yearly fair there. At that time he and his heirs received free warren in his demesne lands in Harting Manor, Sussex; Freefolk Manor, Hampshire; Tidworth Manor, Hampshire and Wiltshire; South Moreton Manor, Berkshire; Missenden Manor, Buckinghamshire; Chiggeshul Manor, Chilteston Manor, Deane Manor and Stourmouth Manor in Kent and Standen Manor in Berkshire and Wiltshire.

In 1275 the heirs of Henry le Fleming, brother of Alard le Fleming, were named as Henry Hussey and Joan le Fleming Hussey and Walter de L'Isle and his wife, Florence le Fleming de L'Isle, sister to Joan le Fleming. Joan le Fleming Hussey died about 1278 "when liberties at Rudgwick Manor in Sussex were claimed by Walter de L'Isle and Florence de L'Isle and Henry Husee," according to "Honors and Knights' Fees." This Henry Hussey was the son of Henry Hussey and the heir to his mother's property. Queen Eleanor, the Spanish wife of King Henry VIII, was holding half of the inheritance because Henry Hussey was under age. In 1281 Walter de L'Isle acknowledged a debt of 11 pounds yearly to Queen Eleanor during the minority of Henry Hussey. The queen apparently had the warship of Henry Hussey so far as the administration of the succession to Henry le Fleming was concerned.

Henry Hussey was summoned for military service from December 12, 1276 to June 14, 1287 probably in the service of King Edward I in his invasion of Wales. He was summoned "to serve against the Welsh and will serve in person" July 1, 1277. He was summoned again in 1282, "but being infirm, makes fine." He was summoned to Parliament at Shrewsbury, Shropshire and "attended the king" at Shrewsbury June 18, 1283. On July 16, 1287 he "had a protection on going to Wales on the king's service," according to "Complete Peerage." On May 17 he was constable of Porchester Castle.

It is believed that Henry Hussey was remarried in 1279, wife's name Margaret. On August 3, 1279 there was "a commission touching persons who assaulted Margaret Husee and her men at Figeldean, Wiltshire while they and their possessions were in the king's special protection."

On February 25, 1279-80 the sheriff of Wiltshire was ordered to deliver Henry Hussey from prison, "the King for 100 pounds pardoned his trespass in taking a doe; but this order was vacated, Henry having been charged therewith on justice-roll in Hampshire. On June 4, 1280 Henry Husee was pardoned 50 marks of the 100 pounds for which he was lately amerced for trespass of the forest out of regard for his dear wife, Margaret, and was ordered to pay 100 marks to the Friar Preachers, London, towards the building of their new church." On November 5, 1280 Henry Hussey "had a protection on going beyond seras," according to "Complete Peerage." On October 16, 1288 "Henry Husee was to be acquitted 50 marks of the 100 marks fine by the justices of Hampshire for trespass of the forest, as the King in the 8th year acquitted Henry of 50 marks in consideration of the King's kinswoman, Margaret, Henry's wife."

Apparently Margaret Hussey died in 1279, perhaps as the result of the assault upon her party. Henry Hussey was remarried almost immediately, for the third time, on November 5, 1280, wife's name Agnes. He was "summoned to council at Gloucester" July 15, 1280.

On March 17, 1289 Henry Hussey, as constable of Porchester Catle, was "to have the needful timber for repairs of the houses of the castle and renewal of the King's mill from Porchester Forest." He was ordered to go overseas November 5, 1280. "He and another were ordered to place Missenden Abbey in secure financial position," November 26, 1281.

"Having made fine for service in 1282 to King Edward I, he had his scutage [commutation of the military service due from the holder of a knight's fee] in Sussex, Wiltshire and Berkshire, February 28, 1286," according to "Knights of Edward I." He went to Wales for the king July 16, 1287.

Henry Hussey died July 23, 1290, "Sunday, the morrow of St. Mary Magdalen, in the 8th year of the reign of King Edward I," according to "Complete Peerage." He held manors of Standen, Berkshire; Sturmore, Denbighshire, Wales; Childestone and Checkeshille, Kent; Tuedworth, Wiltshire and lands in Buckinghamshire, according to "History of Buckinghamshire." It is believed that he also held property in Sussex. An inquisition held July 23, 1305 revealed that Henry Hussey "died seized of Hascombe Manor and of the advowson [right to make appointments] of the church of Hascombe," according to "History of Surrey."

"History of Surrey" describes Hascombe manor:
"It was a small parish adjoining to Bromley and Dunsfold on the east, to Godalming on the west, to Bramley on the north and to Dunsfold on the south. The church and manor-house are near together in a valley or 'comb'from which it may have taken its name. The manor was inventoried as "1 messuage, 1 mill, 1 toft, 1 carucate and 85 acres of land and 30s rent, with the appurtenances in Bromley, Danhurst, Hannedon, Faune and Godalming, with the advowson of the church of Hascombe, which he had of the gift of Joan, wife of Walter de Huntingfield with remainder to Catherine, his wife, who was then living, for her life; remainder to Henry, son of the said Henry Husee and the heirs of his body. Henry, son of Mark Husee, is said to be his next heir, then of the age of six years. The manor of Hascombe was held of Thomas de Brewos and Thomas de Wintershull, paying 40s per annum, and was worth beyond reprises 20s. The other tenements were held of the Dean and Chapter of Sarum, and were worth beyond reprises 13s 4d. 35 Edward I [1307] the King granted to Henry Husee and his heirs free warren in his manors of Danhurst, Hascombe and Godalming."

"On an inquisition taken after the death of Henry Husee, it was found that he died on Friday before the feast of St. Peter in Cathedra in the 5th of Edward III, anno 1332, seised jointly with Isabel, his wife, then living, of the manor of Hascombe with the appurtenances, held of Thomas de Brewos and Thomas de Wintershull, by the service of 60s. per annum, worth above reprises 26s, which they had with other lands in Godalming of the feoffment of John de Wintershull and others to hold for their lives, remainders to the heirs of Henry; and that Henry Husee was his son and heir, of the age of 30 years and more. Richard II, anno 1384, John Huntercomb was seised of this manor, probably as a trustee; for in 10 Henry IV, anno 1409.

Sir Henry Husee was found to be seised of it, and of the advowson of the church. Nicholas Husee presented to the church in 1463. It appears by the Bishop's Register, in February 1501-02, that Nicholas Husee left two daughters his co-heirs, viz. Catherine, married to Reginald Bray, and Alice Bray, widow."

At Salisbury, Wiltshire in 1298 it was disclosed in an inquisition that Henry Hussey had held Standen Hussey manor from Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, brother of the king, "by the service of one knight's fee which was worth 20 pounds per annum," according to "Hussey Record."

An inquisition was held at Tudeworth, Wiltshire "on Sunday next before the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Mary, 18 Edward I [1290] of the lands and tenements which were of Henry Husseye:"

"The said Henry Huseye did not hold any lands or tenements of the king in chief in Wiltshire, but he held the Manor of Standene Huse of the Earl of Ferrariis for one knight's fee by knight's service. And the capital messuage, with the garden, is worth by the year half a mark. The dove cote is worth per annum 4s, sum 10s 8d. There are there 300 acres of arable land and each acre is worth by itself by the year 4d, sum 100s. Also 10 acres of meadow, and each acre is worth by itself by the year 18d, sum 15s. There is there a certain several pasture for oxen, which is worth by the year 10s. There are there three free tenants who pay by the year one pound of pepper viz. at the Feast of St. Michael, by equal portions.

Also one free tenant, who pays by the year one pound of pepper, viz. at the Feast of St. Michael. There are fifteen customars, who pay by the year 38s 6d. at three terms of the year, viz. at Easter, at the Gule of August and at the Feast of St. Michael, by equal portions. There are there two cotters, who pay by the year 3s. at the said terms. The pleas and perquisites of the Court are worth by the year half a mark. Sum 9 pounds, 19s 2d and one pound of pepper. The said Henry Huseye held the Manor of Tudeworth of the Earl Marshall for the third part of one knight's fee by knight's service. The capital messuage, with the garden is worth by the year 4s. There are there 210 acres of arable land, and each acre by itself is worth 3d, sum 52s 6d. There is there several pasture, which is worth by the year 3s. There is there a certain free tenant, who pays by the year 8s. at the four principal terms of the year. There are five customars, who pay by the year 40s. at the said terms. Also three customars, who pay by the year 12s at the said terms. The pleas and perquisites of the Court are worth per annum 4s. There is there a certain windmill which is worth by the year 20S, sum 7 pounds, 3s 6d. Henry, son of the said Henry Huseye, is his next heir and is aged 25 and more."

Agnes Hussey had as temporary assignment of dower August 27, 1290 Standen Hussey Manor, according to "History of Berkshire." She was afterwards dowered in Tidworth manor, Wiltshire; Moreton Manor, Berkshire; Missenden Manor, Buckinghamshire and 1/3 of Freefolk Manor, Hampshire, having renounced her rights in Harting Manor and other manors. She had license June 6, 1300 to marry Piers de Brewes, "if she would."

Apparently Sir Piers de Brewes was the father of Sir Thomas de Brewes who was summoned to Parliament in 1348. In 1307 Piers de Brewes was shown as holding North Tidworth Manor "holding in the right of Agnes Husee, his wife" in an inquisition taken at Upavene, Wiltshire. She received an order May 3, 1324 to "replevy to her, her woods of Shottewode and Heywode in Savernake Forest, taken for trespass." Agnes Hussey de Brewes continued to live April 8, 1326 when she "had respite of scutage on lands held in dower" in Buckinghamshire.

During the conflicts of the mid 13th century Henry seems to have sided with the king against the "barons led "by Simon de Montfort as on September 12, 1264, he was one of those ordered to take horses and arms to Pevensey in order to guard the Sussex coast. After the Battle of Evesham (1265) he seized Belaune Manor, Hampshire, and restored it to its original owner. Sir Nicholas de Vaux - and also seized Chauton Manor fronr de Montfort for the use of Prince Edward.

In 1266 he was recorded as holding lands at Winchelsea, Sussex, and receiving a licence to fortify his home at Hertynge with a moat and wall of stone and lime - topped by crenellaticis. Four years later a grant (in which he was named as Henry de Husee) was made to him and his heirs to authorise a fair and market at Hertynges - and also the right of free warren there and at Frefork (Hants.), Tuddeworth (Wilts. & Hants.), Standen (Berks. & Wilts.), Morion (Berks.), Massenden (Bucks.), Den, Chiggeshul, Chilteston' and Stourmouth (Kent).

During the next few years he was summoned to serve against the Welsh on behalf of King Edward I (1277), to Shrewsbury (1283) and to the Council at Gloucester (1287). He was summoned again to serve against the Welsh in 1282 but this time was infirm and so obliged to pay a fine in lieu.

In 1280 he was fined ??100 and imprisoned for poaching deer in Pember Forest, but later pardoned. King Edward I, in regard for his wife Margaret, forgave him part of the fine, and ordered the balance to be paid to the Friar Preachers of London to help build their new church. The king's wife, Margaret, a daughter of Philips III of France, was said to have been a relative of Henry - it is through him, therefore, that some people named Hussey may he able to claim kinship with the Plantagenets and other early royal families of Europe.

Henry had apparently returned to royal favour "by 1287 when he travelled to Wales in the service of the king. Two years later he was appointed constable of Porchester Castle where he ordered timber for the renewal of its houses and the king's mill. He was dead by January, 1290, leaving a widow - named Agnes - and a son named Henry.

At the time of his death he held the Manors of Staunden (Berks), Sturmure, Dene, Childeston and Chekeshille (Kent), Morion (Derbys) Hertinge and Einestede (Sussex), Standene and Tudeworth (wilts) together with lands in Buckinghamshire.

His son was Sir Henry Husee who was created a baron by writ in 1295 (see Notes on Some Mediaeval Knights) and who, by Isabel, had a son, also named Henry, who was aged 30 and more at the time of Baron Husee's death in 1332. The first wife of this- Henry Husee was Maud, whom he married about 1314? "the second (married before October 16, 1347) was Katherine, daughter of Edmund Fitzalan, 2nd. Earl of Arundel, and sister of Richard, the 3rd. Earl. Henry died on July 1, 1349, and Katherine afterwards married Sir Andrew Peverell, dying in 1376.
