Member of Parliament for Westmoreland 1558, East Grinst ead 1559, Aylesbury 1563. Justice of the peace, Kent, Sussex 1558/1559-dea th; feodary, duchy of Lancaster, Sussex 1561; joint lord lieutenant Suss ex 1569; Ambassador to France 1571-72, 1591, to the Netherlands 1586, 159 8; trier of petitions in the Lords, Parliaments of 1572, 1584, 1586, 158 9, 1593, 1597; custos rot. Sussex 1573/4-death; chief butler, England 159 0; high steward, Winchester c. 1590; joint commissioner of great seal N ov 1591-May 1592; chancellor, Oxford University 1591; Lord treasurer May 1 599-death.

His elder sister Anne (who he would in later years argue extensively wi th regarding the ownership of Sir Thomas More's estate Beaufort which s he did inherit from her mother, then Marchioness of Winchester, and Thom as had led average lives for children of their era and station and had al so survived the third sibling a second daughter who passed on at an ear ly age.

His education went as planned as his father would say, where upon at the a ge of fifteen; he was had been educated out of Hart Hall, in Oxford. Two y ears later in 1553 at the age of seventeen; he left his childhood home a nd took residence in London where he began pursuing his life as a poet a nd playwright.

He received the bulk his wealth from his father Sir Richard Sackville a we althy landowner whose acquisitiveness earned him the nickname of 'Fill Sac k' and was noted for reasons of his great wealth and vast patrimony. He co ntinue to live in such a manner as his father did, knowing how to spend h is moneys well and in such a way that he and his family could live in a co mfortable fashion.At nineteen years of age in 1555, he met, fell in love w ith and married the daughter of a member of the Privy Council under Que en Mary, Cicely Baker of Kent. His father's exclusion from office under Ma ry did not significantly delay Thomas Sackville's entry upon public life f or it was not long after his coming of age that he sat in his first Parlia ment. His election at the beginning of 1558 for East Grinstead, where h is father had wielded great influence, had the appearance of a safeguard a gainst his failing to carry off the knighthood for Westmoreland; aft er he had done so and entered the House as junior knight for that shire, t he vacancy at East Grinstead was filled by another Sackville nominee, Thom as Farnham. The circumstances of Sackville's election for Westmoreland a re not made easier of explanation by the damaged state of the return, on w hich the surname is represented only by the fragment 'sa...' A century a go the name was read as 'salkeld'. The accuracy of this reading is borne o ut by the appearance of that name, afterwards erased and replaced by 'sack vell', on one of the two remaining copies of the Crown Office list; the ot her and later copy has 'sackveld' alone. It is thus possible that a Thom as Salkeld, presumably of the prominent Westmoreland family of that nam e, was elected but was afterwards superseded by Sackville. What is more li kely, however, is that Sackville was elected and that instead of his unfam iliar name its near counterpart was entered on the return, to be copi ed on the Crown Office list and only corrected when Sackville appear ed in the House. Who procured his election is a matter of speculation. Nei ther he nor his fellow-knight Anthony Kempe, another Sussex man, had any s tanding in Westmoreland, but both could claim a marriage connection with H enry Clifford, 2º Earl of Cumberland, hereditary sheriff of the county, a nd with his father-in-law the 3rd Lord Dacre of Gillesland; Cumberland mu st also have had dealings with both Sackville's father, and ex-chancell or or augmentations, and his father-in-law Sir John Baker, one of whom dou btless made the approach. For Sackville, as for Kempe, a knighthood of t he shire was not to recur; he was to sit as a burgess in the first two Eli zabethan Parliaments and in the third he took his seat in the Lords.

Sackville had appeared on the pardon roll in Oct 1553 as of London. On 8 M ar 1557, together with Thomas Swynton, he purchased various properti es in Kent and Sussex for £1,221. In co-operation with Thomas Norton he wr ote "The Tragedie of Gorboduc" but he handed over his other literary proje ct "A myrroure for magistrates" to George Ferrers and William Baldwin aft er completing the 'Introduction'.

In 1558 upon the death of Queen Mary; her half sister Elizabeth Tudor, thi rd cousin on her mother Anne Boleyn's side; ascended England's throne.

In addition during the year of 1561 he received the title of "Grandmast er of the Order of Freemasons". In 1563 he was once again elected to Parli ament this time for Aylesbury. When he became thirty one years of ag e, he was knighted and raised to peerage as Lord Buckhurst which did ta ke place on the eighth day of Jun of that year. One year prior to receivi ng the title of Lord Buckhurst; Queen Elizabeth awarded a piece of proper ty to keeping known as Knole.

Much of the fabric of Knole dates from the second half of the fifteenth ce ntury. On 30 Jun 1456 William Fiennes sold the estate £266 13s 4d to Thom as Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury (and for a brief period in 1455- 6, Lord Chancellor of England). Between that date and his death in 1486, B ourchier built himself a substantial but relatively austere palace group ed around a series of courtyards, and containing all of the elements th at one would expect to see in the house of an important medieval prela te - a great hall with a day parlour and first-floor solar at one end a nd kitchens and domestic offices at the other, a chapel, and lodgings f or his large household.

When Bourchier died - at Knole - he left the estate to the See of Canterbu ry, and it functioned as an archiepiscopal palace until 1538, when Henry V III bullied Thomas Cranmer into presenting it to the Crown. The King consi derably enlarged the house by building three new ranges of lodgings a nd a turreted and crenellated gatehouse in the front of the Archbishop's o riginal gatehouse, thus forming what is now known as the Green Court, t he main entrance court at Knole. After his death, the house went throu gh a rather confused series of occupancies. Edward VI assigned it to Jo hn Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, who for some reason returned it two yea rs later. Mary he granted it to Cardinal Pole for life in 1556; when he di ed in Nov 1558 (on the same day as the Queen) it reverted to the Crown. El izabeth granted it to John Dudley's son, Robert, Earl of Leicester, who pr omptly sublet it, before returning it, still sublet in 1566. In Jun 1566 t he Queen presented the estate to his keeping, under whom Knole has final ly settled down to a more stable period of ownership. But throughout his c areer as one of her Majesty’s chief advisers, he had been unable to even l ive at Knole, in the stead he had managed replace the old Archbishop's pal ace with a Theobalds or a Holdenby for his Queen's entertainment. Althou gh he had been granted the house and estate in 1566, it currently occupi ed by the Lennard family, tenants who had moved in as the Earl of Leicest er handed the property back to the Crown.

In 1568 he had been commissioned to traveled to France on an official visi t, his mission was to persuaded the Queen Mother to make a motion for t he marriage of Elizabeth with her second son, the Duke of Anjou. In 15 69 at the age of thirty-three years old, he was honoured to be placed in t he office of Lord Lieutenant of Sussex. Two years later in 1571, he return ed to France to congratulate Charles IX on his marriage afterwhich he d id return to England bringing Paul du Foix along to continue the discussi on of the impending marriage. Also within that year he had been bestow ed a Master of Arts from Cambridge. In 1572, he became a member of her Maj esty's Privy Council and became employed as Commissioner at state trials.

As a member of her Majesty's Privy Council, he was considered a protég ée of William Cecil, Baron Burghley and he tends to agree with most of t he issues Burghley is in favor of.

His career took Sackville to the treasurership and an Earldom before he di ed at the council table on 19 Apr 1608.
