Henry FitzRoy
(1105 - 1157)
== Biography ==
The Henry II project gives the conventional weighing up concerning his parentage::"Son of Nest ferch Tewdwr, wife of Gerald of Windsor. The B manuscript of Annales Cambriae, in the account of his death, calls him son of Gerald, stating that some would wish him to be a son of Henry I [AC (s.a. 1157: "... Henricus filius Geraldi occisus est, velut alii volunt, filius Henrici regis ..."], suggesting that the author of the annal did not believe the connection to Henry, but this is the only known indication of doubt in the early sources. The Welsh vernacular annals call him a son of Henry I with no indication of doubt. Since Giraldus was a relative, his word has greater weight, and it seems highly probable that he was Henry's son."
Richardson in Royal Ancestry says he had 2 sons and "presumbly" 1 daughter. *Genealogics only mentions the daughter Amabilis. Richardson explains that a charter of Walter de Ridelisford to St Mary's Dublin was granted with consent of his wife Amabilis fitz Henry and witnessed by Meiler fitz Henry.*MEDLANDS and the Henry II project only mention the 2 sons, Meiler fitz Henry and Robert fitz Henry. MEDLANDS names sons of the 2 sons. Meiler in particular is very well known for his role in the new attempts of England to rule part of Ireland.
MEDLANDS mentions that "He was killed during King Henry II’s invasion of Anglesey".
