No reason was given and a great deal of speculation is associated with the cause. In 1365, he and Sir William Skipwith, the chief baron of the exchequer, were arrested and on 30 October Green was ordered to hand over to John Knyvet all the records associated with his office of chief justice. Green also presided over sessions of his court in Yorkshire in 1363 and the eastern counties (where it sat for three successive sessions) in 1364. On he was appointed to succeed Shareshull as chief justice of the king's bench, and in that capacity made the opening speech in the parliament of Michaelmas 1362. The ex-communication did nothing to hinder his career. Green's involvement in the violent dispute between Bishop Thomas Lisle of Ely and Blanche, Lady Wake, led to his being excommunicated by the pope in 1357. In February 1354 he was appointed a justice of the bench and knighted. In “Calendar of the charter rolls preserved in the Public Record Office, 1341-1417”, page 124, 25 Edward III, of 28 February 1351 there is a grant, by the King, allowing Henry Greene (Grene) and his heirs, the right of a yearly fair at Bukton, to be held, “on the vigil, the day and the morrow of the Nativity of St. He also appears to have served Queen Isabella, who in 1346 gave him the lease for life of the manor of Brigstock, Northamptonshire, and he became a member of the council of Edward, the Black Prince (son of Edward II). In 1337 he was appearing as counsel in the bench, and he was created serjeant-at-law in 1342. His name appears in the company of lawyers including William Shareshull, Robert Sadington, and Roger Hillary, suggesting he was collaborating with them. He is first recorded in any legal context in April 1331, when, presumably of age, he witnessed an indenture. It does, however, seem likely they were related, possibly with Joan, the stated wife, being a sister. This latter lineage is provided in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Amongst the Calendar of Patent Rolls of Edward III, dated 12 February 1364, is a Charter of obligation relating to the advowson of the church of Whytrothyng (White Roding, Essex) where it provides “remainders to Henry son of Henry Grene of Isham, in tail, and to his father Henry Grene, the elder, and his heirs.” This provides that Henry Greene, of this profile, was the son of Henry Greene of Isham, the wool merchant, who was the son of another Henry Greene, the elder.
Īlthough Halstead surmised that the Henry, that bought Boughton, was a son of Sir Thomas of Boketon this is clearly not the case.
Sir Henry Greene of Isham was a wealthy wool merchant and is discussed in "A History of the County of Northampton", Volume 4. See also a discussion on the Boughton estates in The Victoria History of Northampton. It clearly implies that Henry Green was the son of a Henry Green of Isham and that Henry Green, junior, the buyer, was not related to Sir Thomas de Boughton and his wife, Joan.
These details are supported within the Charter record. Three years afterwards (1340), however, Sir Thomas de Boughton and Joan his wife (not Lucy) sold the reversion of the manor to Henry Green of Isham, junior,” further it provides the same “Henry Green was knighted in 1354 and in 1361 was appointed chief justice of the King's Bench, from which he was removed in 1365”, assuring us that it is the same Henry Greene. Wandrille was absolved by the Pope from the penalty it had incurred by selling the Boughton estate without licence from the bishop, and the tenure of the Boughton family was thus rendered more secure. It goes on to provide that “In 1337 the abbey of St. A History of the County of Northampton, of which Boketon, Buckton or, now, Boughton, provides that the property of Boughton, in the time of Edward I, was held jointly by a John de Boughton and as part of the English holdings of the Benedictine Abbey of St Wandrille de Fontanelle. However this supposition is not supported by the original Rolls. This supposition has been followed by later genealogists of this line and, at times, elaborated on but without proof. Henry Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough, writing under the name of Robert Halstead, in his work “Succinct genealogical proofs of the house of Greene that were Lords of Drayton” asserts that Sir Henry “was the son of Thomas de Boketon” where he proposes that a Sir Thomas of Buckton, in the time of Edward I, was actually a Sir Thomas Greene of Buckton and thus the origin of the line of Greene of Buckton. There is some debate regarding his lineage.
Sir Henry Greene was a knight, judge of the common pleas and Chief Justice of the King's Court on. Sir Henry Greene was a member of the aristocracy in England.
