FROWYK, Thomas II (d.1485), of London and Gunnersbury, Mdx.

Family and Education
s. and h. of Henry Frowyk I* by his 2nd w.; nephew of Thomas I*. A.F. Sutton, Mercery of London, 203, 303, 621; eadem, A Merchant Fam. of Coventry, London and Calais, 8. educ. appr. mercer, London 1438/9-1446. Med. Acct. Bks. of the Mercers ed. Jefferson, 525, 643. m. by 1447, CIPM Hen. VII, i. 58. Joan (d. Apr. 1500), da. of Richard Sturgeon (d.1456) of Westminster, Mdx., by Joan, da. of Walter Cotton of London and Landwade, Cambs., 2s. 1da. Ricardian, x. 91-92; Corp. London RO, hr 183/4; M. Richardson, The Med. Chancery under Hen. V (L. and I. Soc. special ser. xxx), 98. The family’s practice of naming its male members either Henry or Thomas has led some authors to confuse the ‘interminable Henries and Thomases of this formidable family’ (HP Biogs. ed. Wedgwood and Holt, 358). For their ped. see F.C. Cass, South Mimms, 19-88; S.L. Thrupp, Merchant Class Med. London, 342-3. Dist. 1465; Kntd. 17 Jan. 1478. W.A. Shaw, Knights of Eng. i. 138.

The first comm. of the peace for Mdx. after the Readeption was not issued until Sept. 1472, but it is likely that the justices who had ben rendered suspect by their service under the Lancastrian regime did not act after Edw. IV’s return. 18 Dec. 1473–d. KB9/1000/25. CPR, 1461–7, p. 567 erroneously omits Frowyk from the comm. of 18 Sept. 1461: E371/226, rot. 144.

Steward of the lordship of Isleworth for Syon abbey by 1453–1484, Ricardian, x. 92; KB9/329/72. of the estates of Westminster abbey by Jan. 1454-aft. Jan. 1477. KB9/272/62; 286/12; 313/63; KB27/880, rex rot. 20.

Mdx., Surr., Suss. Dec. 1483 (treasons); to assess subsidies, Mdx. July 1463, Aug. 1483; of sewers Apr., Oct. 1467, Oct. 1474, Essex, Herts. Feb. 1477, Mdx. May 1480, July 1483; to distribute tax allowances June 1468; of kiddles, Mdx., Surr., Oxon., Bucks., Berks. Dec. 1476, [June 1478]. Although the commr. of June 1478 was not styled a knight, it was probably he rather than one of his yr. kinsmen who was the intended appointee: CPR, 1476–85, p. 144.
