Notities over THOMAS OF BROTHERTON

Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk, Earl Marshal (1 June 1300 - August 1338) was the son of Edward I of England and Margaret of France and a younger half-brother of Edward II.

Thomas of Brotherton, born 1 June 1300, was the fifth son of Edward I, and the eldest son of his second marriage to Margaret (1279?-1318), the daughter of Philippe III of France (d.1285). He was born at the manor house at Brotherton, Yorkshire, while his mother was on her way to Cawood, where her confinement was scheduled to take place. According to Hilton, Margaret was staying at Pontefract Castle and was following a hunt when she went into labour. The chronicler William Rishanger records that during the difficult delivery his mother prayed, as was the custom at the time, to Thomas Becket, and Thomas of Brotherton was thus named after the saint and his place of birth.

Edward I quickly rushed to the queen and the newborn baby and had him presented with two cradles. His brother Edmund was born in the year after that. They were overseen by wet nurses until they were six years old. Like their parents, they learned to play chess and to ride horses. They were visited by nobles and their half-sister Mary of Woodstock, who was a nun. Their mother often accompanied Edward on his campaigns to Scotland, but kept herself well-informed on their well-being.

His father died when he was 7 years old. Thomas's half-brother, Edward, became king of England and Thomas was heir presumptive until his nephew Edward was born in 1312. The Earldom of Cornwall had been intended for Thomas, but Edward instead bestowed it upon his favourite, Piers Gaveston, in 1306. When Thomas was 10 years old, Edward assigned to him and his brother Edmund, the estates of Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk who had died without heirs in 1306.

In 1312, he was titled "Earl of Norfolk" and on 10 February 1316 he was created Earl Marshal. While his brother was away fighting in Scotland, he was left Keeper of England. He was known for his hot and violent temper. He was one of the many victims of the unchecked greed of the king's new favourite, Hugh Despenser the Younger and his father Hugh Despenser the Elder, who stole some of the young earl's lands. He allied himself with Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer when they invaded England in 1326, and stood as one of the judges in the trials against both Despensers. When his nephew Edward III reached his majority and took the government into his own hands Thomas became one of his principal advisors. It was in the capacity of Lord Marshal that he commanded the right wing of the English army at the Battle of Halidon Hill on 19 July 1333.

He died about 20 September 1338, and was buried in the choir of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds.

He was succeeded by his daughter, Margaret, as Countess of Norfolk. She was later created Duchess of Norfolk for life in 1397.

He married firstly, before 8 January 1326, Alice de Hales (d. before 12 October 1330), daughter of Sir Roger de Hales of Hales Hall in Loddon in Roughton, Norfolk, by his wife, Alice, by whom he had a son and two daughters:

Edward of Norfolk, who married Beatrice de Mortimer, daughter of Roger de Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, but died without issue before 9 August 1334.
Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, who married firstly John Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave, and secondly Sir Walter Manny.
Alice of Norfolk, who married Sir Edward de Montagu.

Alice Hales died by October 1330, when a chantry was founded for her soul in Bosham, Sussex.

He married secondly, before 4 April 1336, Mary de Brewes (died 11 June 1362), widow of Sir Ralph de Cobham, (d. 5 February 1326), and daughter of Sir Peter de Brewes (d. before 7 February 1312) of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, by Agnes de Clifford (d. before 1332), by whom he had no surviving issue.

THOMAS OF BROTHERTON, 1st Earl of Norfolk
Birth: 1 Jun 1300 Brotherton, Yorkshire
``The royal household set out north from St Albans on 15 April 1300. Queen Marguerite parted with it at Stamford on 5 May, and continued her own journey northward. Preparations had been made for her to use Cawood Castle, a residence of the Archbishop of York, for her confinement. She stopped in the village of Brotherton to hunt late that month, and went into labor early and unexpectedly. The baby was delivered on the 1st of June.´´

``In her difficult labor, Marguerite reportedly called on St Thomas of Canterbury for assistance. The baby was named for the saint.´´
Baptism: St. Edward the Confessor Church, Brotherton, Yorkshire

``On 4 August 1338, Thomas made his will at Framlingham, and he died, probably there, on 23rd August. Many sources relay a date of September 1338, for Thomas´s death, using testimony from a Proof of Age of his granddaughter Elizabeth de Segrave as a source (see CIPM 1352-1361, p.115). But G.W. Watson´s date of 23 August appears to be correct, for the king ordered the seizure of Thomas´s goods and chattels on 28 August.´´1
Death: 23 Aug 1338 Framlingham Castle, Suffolk
Burial: Bury St Edmunds Abbey, Suffolk

``He was laid to rest at the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds, the chief religious house in medieval East Anglia and a popular destination for pilgrims. The Abbey had suffered riots and destruction from disaffected townspeople in 1327, and tremendous rebuilding efforts were needed, towards which Thomas contributed. His coat of arms appears on the principal gatehouse, which still stands. His was the first royal burial at Bury St Edmunds since the Conquest.´´1

Occupation: 1st Earl of Norfolk 1312-1338
