Henry Fitzcount

The grant of Cornwall was confirmed by John's successor Henry III but Fitzcount also incurred his displeasure and the county was taken into possession of the Crown in 1220.

[5] Fitzcount received the barony of Totnes in Devon from John in 1209, it may have been seized by the king from Loretta de Braose, Countess of Leicester.

[1] After Henry III succeeded John, Fitzcount received a further grant of the entire county including all demesnes.

[1] He was reappointed as high sheriff on 7 February 1217 by Henry III in recognition of his loyalty to John during the First Barons' War.

[10] Henry III commanded the new sheriff of Cornwall, William Lunet, to oversee the returning of all lands held or given out by Fitzcount to the crown, with the exception of those which had been given to Robert de Tintagel.
