  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY: Henry FitzCount did not succeed his father's Earldom of Cornwall because he was illegitimate. However, he became Governor of Porchester Castle in 1211, and in 1215 was appointed Sheriff of Cornwall, Constable of Launceston Castle, and Warden of the Stannaries (tin Mines). Also in 1215, King John gave him the farm of Cornwall until the realm should be at peace. This grant did not confer the earldom on him, but left him to administer the county in time of civil war. It was renewed by Henry III in 1217. In 1222 Henry resigned the county to the king, took the cross, and died as a Crusader. www.my-ged.com, howery2 gedcom: pg 16319.
