Henry Hussey, 2nd Baron Hussey
Henry Hussey, 2nd Baron Hussey (1302 – 21 July 1349) was an English nobleman. He was the son of the 1st Baron Hussey and Isabel Hussey.[2] "Sir Henry Huse, knight", was returned as Knight of the Shire for Dorset at the age of 30 in 1331/2. He was married circa 1314 to Maud.[3] On their wedding day his father gave the bride and groom an estate in Kent. A son, named Mark Hussey, was born to Henry Hussey by Maud in about 1316.[citation needed]
He was later remarried to Katherine FitzAlan, daughter of Edmund FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel. Katherine was sister to Richard FitzAlan, later Earl of Arundel.[3]
The children born to Henry Hussey by Katherine FitzAlan-Hussey were Elizabeth Hussey (circa 1318), Henry Hussey (circa 1320), and Richard Hussey (circa 1323). Katherine died in 1375, according to History of Gloucestershire. Her will was proved in 1376.[citation needed]
In "Easter week, 1345" in Risley, Gloucestershire an inquisition determined that Henry Hussey held a moiety of Saperton manor and a moiety of Rusyndene manor in Gloucestershire, from the king by a knight's service. According to the Patent Records in 1348 Henry Hussey (with others) was commissioned "to determine whether a wall on a river flowing near the border of Kent and Sussex, near Knellesflote, should be dismantled."[citation needed]
Henry Hussey died on 21 July 1349 according to Complete Peerage. He left property in Gloucestershire, Sussex, Southampton, Surrey, Kent, and Wiltshire.[citation needed]
Henry Hussey, his grandson and son of Mark Hussey, was named as his next heir and stated to be aged six. His widow Katherine FitzAlan-Hussey later married Sir Andrew Peverell.[citation needed]
