Henry de Baliol
Sir Henry de Baliol (died 1246) of Cavers was Chamberlain of Scotland. Life
Henry was a younger son of Eustace de Balliol and Petronilla FitzPiers. Although invited by King John of England to take his side shortly before the time of Magna Carta, it is probable that he, like his sovereign Alexander II, joined the party of the barons. He is mentioned in the Scottish records in the years between 1223 and 1244, and the appointment of Sir John Maxwell of Caerlaverock, who appears as Lord Chamberlain of Scotland in 1231, must either have been temporary, or Baliol must have retained the title after demitting the office, which George Crawfurd supposes him to have done in 1231. In 1234 he succeeded, in right of his wife as co-heiress, along with her sisters; Christina and brother-in-law Peter de Maule and Isabel, who married David Comyn, to the English fiefs of the Valognes family, vacant by the death of Christian, countess of Essex; it was a rich inheritance, situated in six shires. In 1241 he attended Henry III of England to the Gascon War, and dying in 1246, was buried at Melrose Abbey. Marriage and issue
Henry married Lora de Valognes, daughter of William de Valognes, lord of Panmure and had the following known issue;
