You can read an excellent biography of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster, at English Monarchs.

Henry (Plantagenet) was born about 1281 at Grosmont Castle, Monmouthshire. He was the son of Edmund Earl of Lancaster (son of Henry III King of England) and his 2nd wife, Blanche d'Artois, widow of Enrique 1, King of Navarre.^[1]

In 1297, he was called Lord of Monmouth. In 1299, he was called Lord Lancaster. His older brother Thomas succeeded his father as Earl of Lancaster, but Thomas was executed by King Edward II and his title and lands were forfeited. Henry called himself Earl of Lancaster in 1326, the title was restored to him in 1327 by Edward III.^[2][1]

Henry married Maud de Chaworth before 2 March 1297. She was the daughter of Patrick de Chaworth and Isabel Beauchamp. (She was born 2 Feb 1282 and died before 3 Dec 1322.)^[1]

m.1 ante 2 Feb 1282 or ante 02 Mar 1296/7 (02 Feb 1282 - ante 03 Dec 1322).^{[citation needed]}

Henry and Maud had 7 children:^[1][3]

• Henry "of Grosmont", b. ca. 1300 at Grosmont Castle, Monmouthshire, d. Leicester Castle 24 Mar 1361; m. Isabel Beaumont. When he died he was Duke of Lancaster Earl of Derby, Lincoln and Leicester, Steward of England, Lord of Brigerak and Beaufort
• Blanche of Lancaster, b. ca. 1305, d. 10 Jul 1380, m. Thomas Wake, Lord Wake
• Maud/Matilda of Lancaster, b. ca. 1310, d. 05 May 1377, m1. William de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, m2. Ralph de Ufford
• Joan of Lancaster, b. ca.1312, d. 07 Jul 1345, buried Byland Abbey, Yorkshire, m. John de Mowbray (The profile showed that Joan was b. Norfrolk.^{[citation needed]})
• Isabel of Lancaster, b. ca. 1317, d. after 01 Feb 1347. Prioress of Amesbury. (FMG quotes Weir: perhaps married Henry de la Dale in her youth.^{[citation needed]} (Richardson sates that the identification of Isabel as the wife of Henry de la Dale is erroneous.)
• Eleanor of Lancaster, b. ca. 1318, d. 11 Jan 1371/2 at Arundel Castle, m1. John de Beaumont, m2. Richard Fitzalan Earl of Arundel
• Mary of Lancaster, b. ca.1320, d. 01 Sep 1362, m. Henry Percy at Tutbury Castle

The following children were also included in this profile, with no specific source:

• John
• Ella
• ____ Morieux
• Alice

An article by Moriarty states that Henry married second to Alix de Joinvile, widow of Jean, Seigneur d'Arcise-sur-Aube et de Chacenay.^[4] This is incorrect. Alix married Henry's brother John.^[5][6]

Henry died on 22 Sept 1345 and was buried at Newark Abbey, Leicester.^[1] The profile also stated that he died at the Monastery of Cannons, Newark Abbey, Leicester.^{[citation needed]}
