Henry FitzHugh, 3rd Baron FitzHugh KG (c.?1363 – 11 January 1425) was an English 
administrator and diplomat who served under Henry IV and Henry V.
Royal service[edit]

Summoned to parliament in 1388, FitzHugh became active in public affairs following 
Henry IV's succession. He was engaged in Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, taking part in 
the Battle of Humbleton Hill in 1402 and negotiating the surrender of his uncle, 
Archbishop of York Richard le Scrope, in 1405. The next year he travelled to Denmark 
as part of the escort of Philippa, Henry's daughter, for her marriage to Eric of 
Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.[1]

At the coronation of Henry V in 1413, FitzHugh was Constable.[2] During Henry's 
reign, he served as Chamberlain of the Household (1413–1425, into the reign of Henry 
VI), and Treasurer of England (1416–1421). He participated in the Battle of Agincourt 
in 1415 and subsequent diplomacy with the French, which led to the Treaty of Troyes 
in 1420. He travelled with the king to France, and he escorted the king's remains 
back to England following his death in 1422. He was an executor of Henry's will and 
was a feoffee of lands in the will.[1]

He became a Knight of the Garter about 1409.[3]

After his death on 11 January 1425, FitzHugh was buried at Jervaulx Abbey in 
Yorkshire at his request.[1]

Religion[edit]

During his travels to the Scandinavian Peninsula in 1406, he visited the Bridgettine 
Vadstena Abbey in Sweden, where he volunteered to help establish a Bridgettine 
community in England, including the promise of a manor at Cherry Hinton in 
Cambridgeshire. An English order was established in 1415 at Twickenham with the 
assistance of Henry V.[1][4] He also attended the Council of Constance in 1415.[1]
