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).

Notes

It is unlikely that he was the John Breton who served the Black Prince and his son Richard II in the capacity of a yeoman of the chamber. In the course of his career, between 1374 and his death in 1398/9, that John was granted annuities amounting to 25 marks, charged mostly on the duchy of Cornw. He discharged the offices of bailiff-itinerant of the honour of Wallingford (1382-6), porter of Wallingford castle (1385) and forester and tin bailiff of Dartmoor (1392); and he shared with Richard Breton (who also filled posts by appointment of the Black Prince) a grant of the houses within the Tower of London.
