Lord Chancellor of England, Chief Justice of the King's Bench
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Green_(justice)
Sir Henry Green, Lord of Boughton,[1](died 6 August 1369) was an English lawyer, and 
Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 24 May 1361 to 29 October 1365. He was 
speaker of the House of Lords in two Parliaments (1363–64).[2] Although no formal 
records exist to confirm it, he almost certainly was the son of Sir Thomas de Grene, 
Lord of Boughton and Lucy la Zouche, daughter of Eudo la Zouche and Millicent de 
Cantilupe.[2] Early in his career he served both Queen consort Isabel and her 
grandson, Edward the Black Prince. He was made justice of the Court of Common 
Pleas in 1354, and knighted by King Edward III. In 1357 he was excommunicated for 
non-appearance at the trial of Thomas de Lisle, bishop of Ely, in Avignon.[3]

In 1365, while Chief Justice, he was arrested along with Sir William de Skipwith, the 
chief baron of the exchequer, and stripped of his office. The charges were probably 
corruption; both Green and Skipwith were fined for their offenses. There is no 
evidence of permanent disgrace and although he was never again employed by the 
courts, he kept his considerable estates.

Green married Katherine Drayton, daughter of Sir Simon Drayton.[1][2] Their 
descendants include Queen Catherine Parr, the last consort of King Henry VIII.

He died in 1369, and was buried in the church in Boughton in Northamptonshire. At 
his death his possessions descended on his two sons Henry and Thomas. Henry Green 
the younger was executed in 1399 at Bristol Castle by the Duke of Hereford (the 
future Henry IV) for his role as a councillor of Richard II.[3]

During his life he is credited to have bought the village of Greens Norton, in 
Northamptonshire for a price of 20 shillings.
