Henry FitzCount

Henry FitzCount

Henry Fitzcount was an English nobleman. He was the illegitimate son of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall. Dunstanville died with no legitimate heir and his earldom reverted to the crown upon his 1175 death. Fitzcount afterwards received several grants of land in Devon and Cornwall. A loyalist during the First Barons' War of 1215–17, he was appointed Sheriff of Cornwall in 1215. Fitzcount was stripped of the post within two months as he had assumed the title of Earl without the king's permission. John and Fitzcount reconciled and he was reappointed as sheriff in 1216, being also granted farming rights across the whole of Cornwall. 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. Fitzcount joined the Fifth Crusade around 1221 and died on that expedition in 1222.
