  Henry Plantagenet, 3rd Earl of Leicester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Plantagenet, 3rd Earl of Leicester ( 1281 – September 22, 1345) was an English nobleman, one of the principals behind the deposition of Edward II.
Henry's elder brother Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster succeeded their father in 1296, but Henry was summoned to Parliament on February 6, 1298 / 99 by writ directed Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis, by which he is held to have become Lord Lancaster.
But Henry, who had not participated in his brother's rebellion, petitioned for his brother's lands and titles, and on March 29, 1324 he was invested as Earl of Leicester, and a few years later the earldom of Lancaster was also restored to him.

 Britannia Biographies: Henry Plantagenet of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster
Henry's first military essay appears to have been in the Scottish expedition in 1336, in which he manifested proofs of valour and martial skill, which obtained for him in the following year, as "Henry de Lancaster, Banneret," the appointment of Captain-General of the King's forces in Scotland, with extra-ordinary powers.
In 1342, Henry accompanied Edward on his expedition into Brittany, having in his retinue five bannerets, fifty knights, with a proportional number of esquires and archers; and, during the Siege of Vannes, was constituted one of the commissioners to conclude a truce for three years.
In this document the accusation of Duke Henry is declared to be false, and he is invited to prove it, corps-à-corps, in the castle of Guisnes, at St. Omer, or wherever else the King of France should think fit to appoint.
