Notes

In EHR, lxxii. 674 he is wrongly identified with the Thomas Rothwell who m. bef. 1440, Elizabeth, da. of Sir William Beauchamp* of Powick, and wid. of Sir Thomas Swynford of Kettlethorpe, Lincs., and held office under his brother-in-law John, Lord Beauchamp of Powick, as under treasurer of England in 1450-2. Elizabeth Beauchamp, who when unmarried had been bequeathed land worth 300 marks under Henry V’s will, also held for life certain of the Swynford estates in Lincs. and at Hanworth, Mdx. Her second husband would in fact appear to have hailed from Northants.: VCH Beds. ii. 248; CPR, 1422-9, p. 455; 1436-41, pp. 364-6; 1441-6, p. 428; 1452-61, p. 330; CCR, 1454-61, p. 454; PRO List ‘Exchequer Offs.’ 197.
