Josceline (or Joceline) Percy, 11th Earl of Northumberland, 5th Baron Percy (4 July 1644–Turin, 31 May 1670) was an English peer.[1]
Percy was the eldest son of Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland and his second wife, Elizabeth Howard, daughter of Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. He served as a Page of Honour at the coronation of King Charles II on 23 April 1661 and became a member of the Inner Temple on 4 November that same year.[1]
On 23 December 1662, he married Lady Elizabeth Wriothesley (the third daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Wriothesley, 4th Earl of Southampton)[1] and they had two children:
- Henry Percy, Lord Percy (1668–1669)
- Lady Elizabeth (1667–1722)
Upon his death in 1670, without a male heir, the earl's titles became extinct and his estate passed to his only daughter, Elizabeth. She married Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, becoming one of the most wealthy couples in England.[2]
