  • Name Thomas "Of Brotherton" of NORFOLK  [1, 2, 3, 4
    • Thomas of Norfolk (of Brotherton), Knt., fifth son, was born at Brotherton, co. York, on 1 June 1300. He was assigned the estates of Roger Bigod, late Earl Norfolk (with his brother Edmund jointly) by their brother King Edward II, and was created Earl of Norfolk on 16 Dec 1312. He was summoned to Parliament on 3 Jan. 1312/3, and was created Marshal of England on 10 Feb 1315/6. He was married for the first time about 1316, or about 1320 to Alice De Hales, daughter of Roger de Hales, Knt., of harwich, Essex. Earl Thomas gave unhesitating support to the opposition by Queen Isabel, and met her in 1326 at her landing on his own property at Orwell, but in 1329 joined the alienated magnates against her and Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March, and had charge of Mortimer's execution (though his son was married to Mortimer's daughter).
