He was appointed to Edward III's Council in 1327 and was given the manor and castle of Skipton. Was granted, by Edward III, the castle and barony of Warkworth in 1328. He was at the siege of Dunbar, the siege of Berwick and the Battle of Halidon Hill and was subsequently appointed constable of Berwick-upon-Tweed.[5] In 1346, Henry commanded the right wing of the English, at the Battle of Neville's Cross.[6]
He married Idonia, daughter of Robert Clifford, 1st Baron Clifford,[7] and had the following children;
Henry, b.1320, succeeded his father as 3rd Baron Percy of Alnwick
Thomas Percy, Bishop of Norwich
Roger
Maud Percy, married John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville

Margaret married in 1340 Sir Robert d'Umfraville of Pallethorp, Hessle, Yorks; she married as his 2nd wife before 1368 William Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Groby (1332-1370) son of Henry Ferrers of Groby by Isabel de Verdun. Margaret died 1375 at Gyng, Essex.[10]
