• Notes

  A powerful Earl and knight under Edward I (Longshanks) of England. When Edward II, his first cousin, became king he was a staunch supporter, at first. But he, and other English nobles, hated the confidant of Edward II, Pier Gaveston, and ultimately had him killed. Edward II eventually did the same to Thomas.
