  General Notes:

"Henry Balliol was the youngest son of Eustace de Hélicourt (de Balliol) (d.c.1208). He had three or four elder brothers, Hugh Balliol (d.1229), lord of Barnard Castle in Durham, Bernard (d.1212), Ingram (d.1239×44) and possibly Eustace........ He held lands in Hertfordshire and Roxburghshire. He was chamberlain of Scotland from 1223 to 1230 and again from 1241-46. Henry is often called 'of Cavers' to distinguish him from Henry Balliol, a Nottinghamshire baron, as well as his nephew (son of Ingram) and this Henry's son. He had three sons, Guy (d.1265), Alexander (d.c.1311), who succeeded him as chamberlain, and William, a clerk, and two daughters, Ada and Lora. Henry died shortly before 15 October 1246 and was buried in the chapter house of Melrose Abbey. G.P.
