Thomas I de BERKELEY Lord Berkeley was born 1170 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. He died 29 Nov 1243 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. Thomas married Joan de SOMERY on 1217 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England.
Joan de SOMERY [was born 1193 in Dudley, Staffordshire, England. She died 22 May 1276 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. Joan married Thomas I de BERKELEY Lord Berkeley on 1217 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England.
They had the following children:
M i Sir Maurice II de BERKELEY Lord Berkeley was born 1218 and died 4 Apr 1281.

F vii Margaret de BERKELEY was born 1231.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas I. Fourth Lord. 1220 to 1243.
Thomas, the fourth lord de Berkeley, like his predecessors, gave largely to the church, and was an especial benefactor to the Abbey of Kingswood, and the church of Slimbridge, of which latter he was probably the builder.
King Henry III was at Berkeley Castle for three days in August 1220, being then on his way to be present at a great council at Bristol.
In 1242 war broke out with France, but was by no means popular with the English people, and Parliament refused to grant the king supplies for the purpose. Many of the royal vassals refused to go when summoned, amongst whom was Thomas lord de Berkeley, who was fined 60 marks in consequence. He afterwards however sent Maurice his eldest son, with three knights and a proportionate retinue, and his services were so acceptable that the king rewarded them by ordering the sheriff of Gloucestershire not to levy the interest due from lord de Berkeley on 100 marks which he had borrowed from David the Jew of Exeter, to fit out Maurice with for the wars, and that the unfortunate Jew should give up the bond on payment of the principal only.
Thomas de Berkeley died in 1243, aged 76, and was buried in St. Augustine's. His widow survived him many years, and obtained from her son, the next lord, a grant of a market and fair to the town of Wotton-under-Edge, where she resided, with many other privileges to the inhabitants, which were the foundation of the present Borough of Wotton, the old town having been destroyed by a fire in the reign of King John.

Thomas I, "the Observer," Lord of Berkeley, also went by the name of Thomas "the Temporizer."
Thomas obtained livery of his brother's lands, except for Berkeley, after 13 May 1220. He recovered the Castle of Berkeley in 1223. He was feudal Lord of Berkeley at Gloucestershire between 1223 and 29 November 1243. He gave his two nephews as pledges for his fidelity and gained restitution of Berkeley Castle in 1223/24.
Thomas was 73 when he died.
