Sir Henry de Grey of Grays Thurrock, Essex (1155 - 1219), was a favourite courtier of King John of England.
Sir Henry was the son of Richard de Grey (born Thurrock, Essex, c. 1148 and married c. 1175) and probably a great-grandson of Anchetil de Greye of Rotherfield Greys in Oxfordshire. He was certainly the ancestor of several English noble houses with the surname Grey or Gray.
In 1195 he had been granted the Manor of Thurrock in Essex which later then became known as Grays Thurrock (or simply Grays), which he bought from Isaac the Jew and his son Josce. Before 1201 he was also granted the Manor of Codnor, Derbyshire, and in 1216 was also granted by King Henry III of England the Manor of Grimston in Nottinghamshire.
Around 1199 he married at Thurrock, Essex, Isolda Bardolf (Hoo, Kent, c. 1168 - bef. 18 June 1246), also known as Iseaude, sister and co-heiress of Robert Bardolf of Codnor in Derbyshire, and daughter of Hugh or Robert Bardolf of Codnor, Derbyshire (son of Hugo Bardol, born in 1125), and Isobel Aquillion, by whom he had these sons:
Walter de Grey, Archbishop of York 1216-1255
Sir John de Grey of Shirland Derbyshire, ancestor of the Barons Grey of Ruthyn
Sir Richard de Grey of Codnor Derbyshire, ancestor of the Barons Grey of Codnor
William de Grey of Cavendish, Suffolk, of Landford, Nottinghamshire and of Sandiacre, Derbyshire, ancestor of the Greys of Merton, Norfolk and a remote ancestor of the Barons Walsingham
Robert de Grey, ancestor of the Barons Grey of Rotherfield
