He was the son of

, 1st Earl of Northumberland.
His father and grandfather were killed in different rebellions against Henry IV in 1403 and 1408 respectively, and the young Henry spent his minority in exile in Scotland.
Only after the death of Henry IV in 1413 was he reconciled with the Crown, and in 1416 he was created Earl of Northumberland.
In the following years, Northumberland occasionally served with the king in France, but his main occupation was the protection of the border to Scotland.

The conflict culminated in the first battle of the Wars of the Roses, at St Albans, where both Somerset and Northumberland were killed.
Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
Motherland (disambiguation)
Motherland is the place of one's birth, the place of one's ancestors, or the place of origin of an ethnic group.
Motherland may also refer to:
Teresa Freeman-Grenville, 13th Lady Kinloss
Teresa Mary Nugent Freeman- Grenville, 13th Lady Kinloss( born 20 July 1957) is a Scottish peer.
She is the heir- general of Lady Catherine Grey, sister of Lady Jane Grey, briefly Queen of England after the death of King Edward VI, and has thus been suggested as a claimant to the throne of England.
Lady Katherine Percy
Lady Katherine Percy (18 May 1423 –) was the daughter of Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland and Lady Eleanor Neville.
Her maternal grandparents were Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland and his second wife Joan Beaufort, a legitimized daughter of John of Gaunt.
She married Edmund Grey, 1st Earl of Kent and had seven children:
Katherine Grant, 12th Countess of Dysart
Katherine Grant of Rothiemurchus, 12th Countess of Dysart( 1 June 1918 – 8 November 2011) was a Scottish peer.
She was born Katherine Greaves, daughter of Wenefryde Agatha Greaves, who succeeded as 10th Countess of Dysart( 1889 – 1975) in 1935 and Major Owain Edward Whitehead Greaves.
On her mother's death Lady Katherine's elder sister, Lady Rosamund Agnes( 1914–2003) became the 11th Countess of Dysart, but never married or had issue, on her death in December 2003 Lady Katherine succeeded to the titles of Countess of Dysart and Lady Huntingtower.
Under the Scottish peerage tradition, it is a title that goes to an eldest daughter if there is no male child.
It has moved from earl to countess for centuries.
Hence, after Lady Katherine ’s death, her son Johnnie( John Peter Grant) took on the title 13th Earl of Dysart while his son James became Lord Huntingtower.
The Huntingtower title, which also shifts between male and female offspring, is more of a nominal one chosen by one of Lady Grant ’s ancestors, none of whom, it seems, ever lived at Huntingtower, on the western edge of Perth.
During the Second World War, the Countess married an outstanding soldier, Lieutenant- Colonel John Peter Grant younger of Rothiemurchus in 1941( 1915 – 1987) who succeeded his father as 15th Grant of Rothiemurchus.
They had two children:
She died in 2011, aged 93.
