 Britannia Biographies: Henry Plantagenet of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster
This heroic prince, called "of Grosmont" after the castle in Monmouthshire where he was born in the early fourteenth century, was the only son of Henry, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, and great-grandson of King Henry III.
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.
