Henry Edward Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey de Ruthyn (8 September 1780 – 29 October 1810) was a British peer. He was a tenant and sometime friend of Lord Byron. Life Yelverton inherited the title of Baron Grey de Ruthyn from his grandfather Henry Yelverton, 18th Baron Grey de Ruthyn, 3rd Earl of Sussex, who died in 1799, with no sons. The Grey de Ruthyn title therefore passed to the 19-year-old Henry.
