Notes
The Audleys, of Anglo-Saxon ancestry, took their name from their Staffo r d s h i re manor of Audley, or Heleigh (Aldith elegh and many variants), g r a n t e d to Henry's great-grandfather by Nicholas de Verdon in Stephen's r e i g n . H enry's elder brother Adam was the constable of Hugh de Lacy, ear l o f U l s t er (d. 1242), and Henry may also have served the earl since bo th b r o t h ers received lands in Ulsster . Audley had succeeded both his f ath e r a n d h is brother by 1212, and in 1217 he married Bertred, daughter o f R a l p h M ainwaring, county justice of Chester. During the civil war of 1 2 1 5 ? 1 7 he served the powerful royalist Ranulf (III), earl of Chester (d . 1 2 3 2 ) , who granted him lands in Cheshire and Staffordshire. Between 1 21 7 a n d 1 2 20 Audley was sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire as the e a r l ' s d eputy.
