In 1242 he and a number of other men of the town of Oxford were found guilty of murdering a student of the University. Henry and his accomplices were fined £80 by King Henry III in May 1242 and were made to leave Oxford

Seems he later paid off the king for forgiveness, but the faculty was not so forgiving.

Henry, son of Henry and grandson of Symeon, first appears in 1225.[2] He too was rich and owned multiple properties in the city.[1]

He sold an island to the King

So, 80 pounds back then was probably pocket change for Henry, son of Henry, grandson of Symeon, ex-owner of an island
