My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Henry de Ferrers

Second Lord Ferrers of Groby, (1303-1343 he served King Edward III.

Married to Isabel de Verdun (1315-1349) before 1331.
Summoned to Parliament 1330-1338.   Accompanied the King to Ireland in 1331, but was among the disinherited who took part in Edward de Baliol's invasion of Scotland in 1332. He received a pardon in 1338 for all offenses, including the capture of Roger de Mortimer. He was with the King at the Battle of Sluys in 1340.
I don't know yet how, but ancestry includes links to the first 2 Anglo Saxon Kings and the early Kings of Scotland.




All that remains of Groby Castle is the Great Hall, the brick building pictured here.

 The link to the first 2 Kings of Anglo Saxony is something I haven't yet followed.


So this ancestor will take some more time and attention.
