- Prince of England
Henry of England was born 6 May 1268 in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England, United Kingdom to Edward I of England (1239-1307) and Eleanor of Castile (1241-1290) and died 14 October 1274 Merton, Surrey, England, United Kingdom of unspecified causes.
By his first wife Eleanor of Castile, Edward I of England had at least fourteen children, perhaps as many as sixteen. Of these, five daughters survived into adulthood, but only one son outlived his father, becoming King Edward II (1307–1327). Edward's children with Eleanor were:[1][2]

At the time of his birth, his paternal grandfather Henry III of England was still reigning. His father Prince Edward was the Heir apparent since his own birth in 1239. Second-in-line for the throne was his eldest son John. John was a year senior to Henry who thus became the third-in-line heir for the throne at birth.
On 3 August 1271, John died in the custody of their paternal granduncle Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall. His death left Henry the eldest surviving child of Prince Edward and second-in-line heir to the throne of England.
Henry III died on 16 November 1272. Edward became the new King of England and Henry his heir apparent. He would remain heir for the first two years of the new reign. He died of natural causes and was replaced as heir by his younger brother Alphonso. He was buried at Westminster Abbey.
