• Notes

  He was summoned to the Great Council to meet at Westminster, 15 August 1401, and to another (probably 1405). [8] Having proved his age and done homage, he had order for livery of his lands 17 January 1403/4; and the following June, as a knight, app[ointed] attorneys before going abroad. [9] He was summoned to Parliament presumably from 25 August (1404) 5 Hen. IV, certainly from 21 December (1405) 7 Hen. IV to 13 January (1444/45) 23 Hen. VI. [10] In June 1409 he was a commissioner to raise money in Somerset. [4] In January 1419/20 he was a commissioner to raise loans in Sussex and Hants; in April chief supervisor of the muster of men for the fleet at Southampton, and in June chief of the escort to conduct the Duke of Bourbon, the King's prisoner, to the King in France. [11] In February 1420/21 he served Queen Catherine at her Coronation feast in London. [12] In July 1423 he fought at Cravant under the Earl of Salisbury. [12] In February 1423/24 he had a command in the successful expedition for the recovery of Crotoy, at the mouth of the Somme. [12] He sailed again from Dover in June, and took part in the Duke of Bedford's victory at Verneuil in August 1424. [13] In July 1437 he was summoned to the funeral of Queen Joan, widow of Henry IV, at Canterbury. [14] In February 1440/41 he was joint commissioner for payment of the subsidy in Sussex. [14]

In reference to the presumed summonses, Cokayne wrote: "What is presumably his name being entered in the list of summonses to that Parl. as Thomas." In reference to the certain summonses, Cokayne notes that it means that he was summoned to every Parliament except that summoned 1 November 1433. On 22 December 1406 he attested the Acts for settling the Crown (Rolls of Parl., volume iii, page 582); in many Parliaments he was a commissioner to hear petitions from Gascony and overseas.
