b. c.1356, 2nd s. and h. of Thomas, Lord Brewes (1301-61), of Manningford Bruce by his w. Beatrice (d.1383), da. of Roger Mortimer, earl of March (d.1330). m. Margaret (d. Aug. 1444), 1s. 1da. Kntd. by Dec. 1372.C136/86/7; CIPM, xi. 38; xii. 118; xv. 933-8; CPR, 1370-4, p. 227; CCR, 1381-5, p. 344; CP, ii. 308-10. Some doubt exists as to Sir Thomas’s exact date of birth, especially in view of his early knighthood. He was said to be 15 in 1367, although an inquisition of 1383 describes him as being ‘24 or above’ . We know, however, that he was still a minor in 1376 (CPR, 1374-7, p. 334).
