c 1368 Henry was named in the will of his father, Thomas Booth. [1] [2]: "Shortly before his death at the hands of a group of local men, [Henry's father] Thomas Booth drew up a will in which he divided all the livestock and provisions on his Lancashire estates between his three sons, as well as leaving each of them £20 in cash. Henry, the youngest, must still have been a mere child, and no more is heard of him until the late 1390s, by which time he had moved to Derbyshire." [3]. Roger Bothe, who died in 1478, was named as a brother-in-law of Nicholas Fitzherbert [4]
1388 Henry Bothe was associated with one of the leading Lords Appellant of 1388 (who was murdered during the political reprisals of 1397). [5]
1390's Henry Bothe "had moved to Derbyshire. It was almost certainly through marriage that he acquired the manors of Sinfin and Arleston together with holdings in the villages of Littleover, Eckington, Twyford and Normanton. He was living at Littleover when, in June 1398, he obtained a royal pardon; and two years later he sued out a fine in the court of common pleas confirming his ownership of property there." [6]
1395 In January, Henry Bothe was awarded royal letters of protection for a period of six months to be spent in Ireland with Thomas, duke of Gloucester. [7]
1399 When Henry of Bolingbroke (another Appellant) landed at Ravenspur in July 1399, intent on reclaiming the inheritance which King Richard had confiscated from him, Henry Booth was among the contingent of Derbyshire gentry who travelled to meet him. [8]
1399 In November Henry Booth was assigned a sum of £12 to cover his expenses as a bodyguard both then and at the Parliament which met later at Westminster. [9]
1400 onwards Henry Booth was a trustee and witness to Derbyshire property transactions. He performed these services for a wide variety of people, including (Sir) Roger Leche and his daughter, Denise, his in-laws, the Fyndernes, and two of Sir William Dethick's* sons. He occasionally appeared as an attorney at the assize courts in Derby, usually on behalf of friends or relatives. [10]
1401 "Grant from Henry de Maunsfeld to Sir Nicholas de Longeford, Sir Thomas de Wendesley, Sir Nicholas de Gausehill, and Sir John Cokeyn, knts., Roger Leche, and Henry de Bothe, "scutiferi," William Ingram, and William Frele, chaplains, and John de Maunsfeld, of all his lands, etc., in Chestrefeld, Boythorpe, Dronfeld, Walton, Haseland, and Brampton. Witn. Sir Ralph Frecchevile, knt., Robert de Plumley, etc. Dat. Fr. a. F. of Tr. of St. Thomas, M. [7 July], 2 Hen. IV. [1401]. (Foljambe.)" [11]
1404 "Grant from Thomas fitz-Herbert of Rossyngton to Sir Nicholas Montegomery, knt., John de Fynderne, Henry Bothe, John Fitz-Herbert of Rossyngton and John Vernay of lands in Rossyngton, Hultone, and Egynton. Witn. John Blount, John Cokayn, knts., William de Lemystre of Snelston, etc. Dat. S. b. F. of SS. Tiburtius and Valerian [14 Apr.], 5 Hen. IV. [1404]. (Woll. x. 18.)" [12]
c1405 Henry Booth offered his elder brother, John, a bond in £20, perhaps as a result of dealings over the family inheritance. [13]
1408 Spring Henry Booth represented his future father-in-law, John Fynderne, and was also engaged then and in the following year by members of the Fitzherbert family. [14]
1400-09 It is not clear to us which of the two wives of Henry Bothe was mother to the children shown here. "Not long afterwards, he moved to Arleston, which became his principal seat. In the summer of 1408 he and his wife, Elizabeth, bought property in Derby, but she died soon afterwards leaving him in sole possession. [Harl. 2112, ff. 167, 176][15] [16] Although Cox states that Isabel Fynderne was the mother of Booth's children, it is evident on chronological grounds that they must have been the issue of his first wife. He remarried almost immediately [to Isabel, daughter of John Fynderne], conveying the tenements in question to his own trustees." [17]"At Norbury, is a slab to Alice, daughter of Henry Bothe, of Arleston, and first wife of Nicholas Fitzherbert, of Norbury. This Alice was most probably daughter of Henry de Bothe and Isabella de Fynderne his wife, whose slab has just been discovered." [18]
1411 Dated at Markeaton, Friday after St Dunstan, 12 Hen. IV [22 May] "Grant by Nicholas Montgomery, knight, John de Findern, Henry Bothe, Thomas de Mackworth and James de Hulme, to Alan Chamberlain of Markeaton and Elen his wife, of a messuage and ½ acre of arable in Markeaton, for their lives with remainder to Alice, widow of William Ribbyt of Ewell, in fee simple. Witnesses: Richard Touchet, William Touchet, Robert del West" [19]
1412 "Grant by Richard Wydowesone of Stretton, chaplain, and Roger Loret, executors of the will of Ralph Loret, to John Cokayne, knight, John Findern and Henry Bothe, of all the lands in Seal which they acquired by the feoffment and will of Ralph Loret jointly with Thomas of Stretton, and Roger Taylour, chaplain" Dated February 1, 1411/12. [20]
1412 Dated at Egynton' on feast of St Nicholas the bishop 12 Hen IV [6 Dec] "Grant by William de Rolleston of Swerkeston' son of Richard de Rolleston of Swerkeston' To John Danbriggecourt knight, John de Brynnesley clerk, Robert Danbriggecourt senior Of all property in of Egynton' given by Richard de Rolleston his father. Witnesses: John Cokayn knight, Aluered Lathbury knight, John Bradeshaugh', Henry Bradeshaugh', Henry Bothe" [21]
1413 "When Margery Clitheroe was planning to divorce her husband Richard in 1413, she sought Bothe's advice at a meeting at Calwich Priory in Staffordshire on how to safeguard her portion of the estate and Henry then traveled to London to arrange the settlement. [22]
1413 "Henry Bothe of Littleover, Derbyshire [and his brother-in-law] were both summoned to appear before Henry V in Chancery in October 1413, probably because of a violent dispute which had recently erupted between them, but possibly for other reasons. Originally of Lancashire, Henry Bothe was also a lawyer who had married Isabel Fynderne ..." [23]
1413 Henry Booth maintained the Lollard [not Roman Catholic] chaplain Walter Gilbert in his house. Booth was said to have publicly preached heresy. [24]
1413 (1 Henry V) On 2 May, "Sciant presentes et futuri quod ego Johes de Fydern dedi, concessi, et hac presenti carta mea confirmavi Petro de Melborne, Roberto Tillot, et Johi Draycott capellano de eadem, Manerium meum de Repyndon cum omnibus suis pertinenciis in comitatu Derb. ac etiam omnia alia terras, tenementa, redditus, servicia, et reversiones, cum omnibus suis pertinenciis, que quidem manerium, terras, tenementa, redditus, servicia, et reversiones, cum omnibus suis pertinenciis ego prefatus Johes de Fyndern, Richardus de Longford chyvaler, Johes Cokayn, nuper Capitalis Baro Scaccarii Dominii Regis, Petrus de Pole, et Henricus de Bothe, simul cum Johe Curson de Ketulston et Johe Foliambe jam defunctis, habuimus ex dono et feoffamenti Robti London Epi et Gerardi de Braybroke chevaler, in Repyndon, Meleton et Tykenhale, prout in quadam carta feoffamenti nob. per prefatos Epum et Gerardum inde confecta plenius ... Dat. vicessimo secundo die mensis Maii, Anno Regni Regis Henrici quinti post conquestum primo." [25]
1413 Henry Booth (along with another Derbyshire MP, Sir Thomas Chaworth) was committed to the Tower of London after the failure of a coup d'état staged by the heretic, Sir John Oldcastle, and his supporters late in 1413. "Several of the ringleaders were hanged immediately, while Booth and his fellows were held in custody under sentence of death. On 8 Feb. 1414, Booth's elder brother, John, and one of his nephews joined with his father-in-law to offer securities of 1,000 marks as a guarantee that he would not attempt to escape from prison if 'irons and other distresses' were removed. His detention lasted for several months until the two powerful Derbyshire knights, Sir Richard Stanhope and (Sir) Roger Leche (his former client) bailed him out, probably on the condition that he should purge himself of heresy. ... These events cast an interesting light on Booth's religious and political beliefs, especially as he was further accused, in 1414, not only of receiving, supporting and maintaining a lollard priest named Walter Gilbert at his home, but also of preaching heresy himself at Littleover on various occasions. ... Fynderne knew Sir John Oldcastle, and, in 1418, offered securities for one of his adherents." [26]
1416 Henry Bothe and John de la Pole and others arranged the marriage of Nicholas Fitzherbert. [27] [28] "obtained the wardship and marriage of the young Nicholas Fitzherbert, for which they agreed to pay £40 as well as pledging themselves to safeguard the financial provisions made upon his sisters. Booth eventually arranged a marriage contract between his daughter, Alice, and the boy, whose main estates lay in Norbury in Derbyshire. In 1424 and 1437, Henry Bothe presented to the local parish church in the place of his son-in-law, in whose affairs he was closely involved. This wardship had belonged initially to Henry V, who, in his capacity as duke of Lancaster, sold it to the two men. Henry V had evidently by then forgiven Booth for his part in the unsuccessful lollard rising of 1413-14. [29]
1417 (5 Henry V) On 12 April, "Omnib's & c. q'd ego Johannes Fynderne Armigero comitatis Darbie &c. nov itis me dedisse &c. dilecto consanguineo meo Johni Tooke Armigero unu am el quidam reddit.

1415-1428 The Booth family of Lancashire contested the lease of estates in Lancashire, seised much earlier, in 1403, from the rebel Geoffrey Bulde, who fought to recover his confiscated property. Booth was in the House of Commons in 1420, having previously attended the Derbyshire elections of 1413 (May), 1416 (Mar.) and 1417. Henry Bothe and his friend, William Pirton, were in conflict with John Legh of Cheshire and Sir Sampson Meverell and his wife. Meverell retaliated by trying to intimidate the jury with a band of 'divers malefactors and outlaws'; and then, once orders for his arrest had been issued, he laid plans for a murderous assault upon his principal adversaries. He finally retired to his manor house at Bobenhull, where, 'in a defensible manner and with a strong hand', he put up a spirited resistance against the local sheriff who had been sent to attach him. Booth and Pirton also began litigation against William Handesacre of Staffordshire. [35]
1420, 23, 25, 27 Henry Booth was a Member of Parliament from Derbyshire. [36]
1422 (9 Henry V) On 28 February, "A Henry de Bothe appears ... in an assize of novel dis-seisin brought by the Prior and Convent of Repton, of two parts of the manor of Potlack". [37]

1424-28 Henry Booth and his friends were involved in several lawsuits. "In February 1424 the Bedfordshire landowner, William Atterworth, offered them both a bond worth £200, and some five years later they were charged by Richard Mynors with failing to discharge their duties as the trustees of (Sir) Roger Leche. Booth established other important connexions during this period, not least as a feoffee-to-uses of Sir John Cockayne's* manors of Harthill. At about the same time, in 1421, he and (Sir) Thomas Blount II* appeared together as plaintiffs in a lawsuit (which was probably collusive) brought by the prior of Repton; and not long afterwards he was called in to settle a local dispute involving Ralph Hussey*. He acted as a mainpernor for the King's knight, Sir Richard Vernon, as well as being employed, in a professional capacity, in taking depositions preparatory to the divorce of Sir Nicholas Longford's mother from her second husband. By 1428, when he gave evidence before a royal commission set up to reassess taxes in Derbyshire, he had settled his manor of Arleston upon his son, John, although it was not until 1439 that a formal entail of the manor was drawn up, naming Humphrey, earl of Stafford (steward of the honour of Tutbury, and thus the Booths' feudal overlord) as remainderman." [39]

Dated at Egginton." [50]
1434-1441 "It was, no doubt, because of his expertise as a lawyer that Booth attracted so many clients, some of whom retained him formally through the payment of a regular fee. Ralph, Lord Cromwell, Sir Richard Vernon and Henry, Lord Grey of Codnor, each awarded him annuities: indeed, in 1434, when Grey and Vernon were indicted on a charge of distributing liveries illegally, Booth's name was temporarily omitted from the list of jurymen serving at the sessions of oyer and terminer in Derbyshire because he, too, was involved in the case. He none the less remained active in Grey's employment until at least 1441, the date of an allocation of expenses made to him as a councillor for 'attending with his household servants' upon his patron. The last clearly dated reference to Booth occurs in December 1441, when he was a party to various financial transactions concerning the Stathum family. He is said to have died five years later, and to have been succeeded by his son." [51]

1461 Dated in feast of translation of St Thomas the martyr 4 Edw IV [7 Jul] "Grant by William Vernon' knight To John son of Henry Bothe, William son and heir of the said John Bothe, Henry son and heir of the said William Of rents granted in deed above" [59]

At the church of Findern is a monument: "At the four corners of the inscription were the Evangelistic symbols, and to the right of the figure a scroll bearing the words, "Jesu mercy." There were also four shields on the slab. The first bore Bothe (arg., three boars' heads erect and erased, sab., with a crescent for difference) impaling Findern (arg., a chevron engrailed between three crosses formee fitchee, sab.), the second, entirely defaced; the third, Bothe impaling Fitzherbert, of Norbury; and the fourth, Bothe impaling a defaced coat. The priest's effigy and the Bothe slab both, alas! disappeared in 1862." [61]
"The pedigrees of the ancient and important family of Findern, do not carry us back further than Robert de Fynderne, temp. Edward II [Harl. MSS. 1092, f. 76, etc.], but we have incidental allusions to them of an earlier date. Walter de Findern was one of the witnesses to a charter relative to Eepton Priory early in the reign of Henry III [62]; and Nicholas Findern was one of the eye-witnesses of a remarkable meteor that startled the good people of Alvaston, on September 18th, 1253, and which was thought of sufficient importance to be chronicled in the annals of Burton Abbey [Cott.MSS., Vesp. B. III.,f. 41]. Isabella seems to have been the daughter of John and Catherine Findern, who were living in the reign of Henry IV. Her husband was Henry Bothe, of Arleston, in the adjacent parish of Barrow-on- Trent, and their daughter, Alice, was the first wife of Sir Nicholas Fitzherbert, of Norbury [63]. Henry Bothe died in 1446 With respect to the Bothes, see the previous account of the church of Barrow-on-Trent, and the subsequent one of the church of Sawley." [64]
Research Notes:
Burke reports that Alice, daughter of Henry Booth [and his first wife Elizabeth, see below] of Harlaston, Derbyshire, England; married Henry FitzHerbert. [65]
The 1583 visitation of Staffordshire reports descent through "Nicholaus Fitzherb't de Norbury, sup'stes an'o 30 H.6." married to "Alicia, filia Henrici Boothe de Arleston". Ancestry is reported for "Raulf Fitzherbert of Norberye, Esq'r, eldest sonne." married to "Elizabeth, daughter and sole heir of John Marschall of Upton in the Com. of Leicester.". Raulf was the son of "Nicholas Fitzherberte of Norberye in the Countie of Derby" and "Alice, daughter of Henry Booth of Arleston." [66]
