Notes par Thomas BELASYSE

Thomas Bellasis (1577-1653), who became successively Baron Fauconberg of Yarm (1627) and Viscount Fauconberg (1643). Educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he was recorded about 1592, Thomas entered political life in 1597 with his election as MP for his father's former seat of
Thirsk. He went on to represent the borough in the parliaments of 1614, 1621, and 1624. In 1601 he married Barbara, the daughter of Sir Henry Cholmley of Roxby in Whitby Strand, thus forming an alliance with a family noted for its strong recusant connections. While outwardly conforming in religion, he retained links with Roman Catholicism and had converted to the Catholic faith by the time of his death. He was knighted by James I at York in 1603 and later served as a JP for the North Riding. In the 1620s he became embroiled in the power struggle for political control within Yorkshire between Sir John Savile, the custos rotulorum of the West Riding, and Sir Thomas Wentworth. It was probably as a consequence of his support for Savile, a client of the duke of Buckingham, that in 1627 he was raised to the peerage as Lord Fauconberg of Yarm. Animosities between the Bellasis family and Wentworth deepened after the latter's appointment as president of the council of the north in 1628. In 1631 Fauconberg's son Henry was called before the privy council and suffered a brief imprisonment as a result of his insolent behaviour towards the lord president. In 1633 Fauconberg too was forced to make apology to the council at York for behaviour that culminated in his being arrested for contempt of court.

The Bellasis family's enmity towards Wentworth and towards the arbitrary government with
which the latter was associated continued until his fall in 1640. Nevertheless, during the civil
war Fauconberg and his sons were staunch supporters of the royalist cause. In January 1643,
in recognition of his loyalty, he was created Viscount Fauconberg of Henknowle (his second son,
John, was made Baron Bellasis of Worlaby in 1645). After taking part in the battle of Marston
Moor in 1644 he fled abroad. His estates were subsequently sequestered for delinquency, with
his fine for compounding being set at £5012 18s. He returned to the North Riding in 1649 but
refused to swear to the oath of abjuration and was convicted of recusancy. He died on 18 April
1653 at Coxwold and was buried in the church there. His eldest son having predeceased him,
his title and estates passed to his grandson Thomas, whose political loyalties, unlike those of
the other members of his family, had lain with parliament, and who subsequently married Mary,
daughter of Oliver Cromwell.
