Henry Grey
Edit Profile
Career
His only known paternal half-brother was Richard Grey, 3rd Earl of Kent. A good part ended up in the crown"s hands. Historians disagree regarding what this says about the relationship of Henry VII of England with the aristocracy.
When Richard died childless, Henry inherited the title of Earl of Kent and what was left of the associated property.
Henry tried, with little success, to reacquire the property Richard had sold, and had to live as a modest gentleman, never formally taking title as earl. They had two children:
Henry Grey (1520–1545).
Katherine Grey. Uncertain if she had descendants.
Membership
She is mentioned to have married twice, to unnamed members of the Slayton and Spencer families.
