Henry Vernon (died 1515)

Sir Henry Vernon, KB (1441–13 April 1515), was a Tudor-era English landowner, politician, and courtier.

He was the Controller of the household of Arthur, Prince of Wales, eldest son of Henry VII of England and heir to the throne until his untimely death.

[4] Though his answers to Clarence and Warwick do not survive, there is no evidence to suggest that he left his home at Haddon.

[3] His lackluster response does not seem to have harmed his standing with the Yorkist faction; he was made an esquire of the body to both Edward IV and Richard III.

The young prince's early death was a blow to the influence of the Vernons, depriving them of the opportunity for royal patronage.

Among their children were: Vernon died on 13 April 1515, and was buried in St Bartholomew's Church, Tong, near many of his family members.
