[1437] Henry was the 9th feudal Lord, and purchased Alnwick in Northumberland from the Bishop of Durham 19 Nov 1309. He "was one of Edward I's most active agents in the subjugation of Scotland until the success of Robert Bruce drove him out of Turnberry Castle, and made him withdraw into England. Summoned to Parliament as a baron in the time of Edward I, he later, as one of the lords ordainer, supported the baronial opposition to the personal rule of Edward II. Hitherto the family had been mainly connected with Yorkshire, but Henry gave its fortunes a new direction by his purchase of lands in Northumberland from Antony Bek, bishop of Durham, among them the great lordship of Alnwick, which became the principal seat of the family. Henceforth the Percys, now the greatest landowners in Northumberland, became the principal guardians of the northeastern border against the Scots, and successive members of the family served regularly as wardens of the marches." {Encycl.Brit.,'56, 17:502}.
