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.

About £110k if you account for inflation

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
