A manuscript history of the Lacy family names “Henricus de Lacy comes Lincolniæ” as son of “Edmundum de Lacy comitem” and his wife.
He succeeded his father in 1258 as Earl of Lincoln.
An undated writ "48 Hen III", after the death of "Roger de Quency earl of Winchester", records that he died "on the day of St Mark the Evangelist" and names "Henry de Lascy aged 14 on the day of the Epiphany next, is his heir".
The Annales Londonienses record the death in 1311 of "Henricus Lacy comes Lincolniæ". The Annals of Crokesden Abbey, Staffordshire record the death in 1310 (O.S.) of “Dñs Henricus de Lacy, Comes Lincoln et Const. Cestrie” in London and his burial at St Paul’s. 1
