He married (1st) ELEANOR ___. They had four sons, Richard, Knt. [2nd Lord Grey of Codnor], Nicholas, Thomas and Henry, and two daughters, Lucy and Joan (nun). He fought in Wales in 1282. In 1294 he was going to Gascony in the retinue of Edmund, the king's brother. He was again on service in Gascony in 1295 and 1297. He presented to the church of Heanor, Derbyshire in 1298 and 1304. He was constantly employed in the Scottish wars of King Edward I. He was summoned to Parliament from 6 Feb. 1298/9 to 16 August 1308, by writs directed Henrico de Grey, whereby he is held to have become Lord Grey. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Dominus de Codnore. In 1306, in consideration of his services in Scotland and elsewhere, he had a pardon for all debts due from him or his ancestors to the Exchequer. He married (2nd) shortly before 6 June 1301 JOAN DE SOMERVILLE, widow of Ralph de Cromwell, Knt., of Cromwell and Lambley, Nottinghamshire (died before 2 March 1298/9) [see CROMWELL 5], and daughter of Robert de Somerville, Knt., of Wichnor (in Tatenhill), Staffordshire, by Isabel, daughter and co-heiress of
