Notes:

Birth:
Edward I, his new young wife Margaret, who turned twenty-one that year and was pregnant with their first child, and the royal household, set out north from St Albans on 15 April 1300. The army had been summoned to Carlisle for mid-summer, for a new Scottish campaign. Queen Margaret parted company with the main household at Stamford on 5 May, and continued her own journey northward. Preparations had been made for her to use Cawood Castle, a residence of the Archbishop of York, for her confinement. She stopped in the village of Brotherton to hunt late that month, and went into labor, early and unexpectedly. Margaret had married Edward I on 10 September 1299 and, if conception occurred immediately, she was in her 38th week, but as she was apparently hunting and had not yet reached Cawood, she may have been a week or two earlier in her pregnancy. The labor was difficult, and Margaret reportedly called on St Thomas of Canterbury for assistance. The baby was delivered on 1 June, and named for the saint. Edward I rushed over to the village as soon as he was given the news, and stayed there until 9 June.

Military:
Thomas received a summons for military service in Scotland, but it was shortly afterwards remitted by the king (Waugh, 2004) and the young earl of Norfolk appears to have missed completely the disastrous battle of Bannockburn in June 1314.

Offices Held:
He was made the Marshal of England.

Offices Held:
He served as keeper of the realm while the king was on a Scottish military campaign.

Travel:
He accompanied the king to France in June and July, travelling with a large retinue.

Miscellaneous:
Thomas remained strongly supportive of Edward II during the baronial rebellion of 1321-1322, but failed in the one task he assumed on his own, an attempt to arrange negotiations with the earl of Hereford in March 1321. His other roles during that time were ceremonial and undertaken with fellow peers.

Legal:
Rigaud de Asserio, bishop of Winchester, wrote to Roger de Martival, Bishop of Salisbury, authorizing the latter to absolve Thomas of Brotherton from a sentence of excommunication. Thomas had incurred this by violently assaulting a clerk of the bishop - one Deodatus de Pyno - within the diocese of Winchester. Unfortunately the date of the assault is not mentioned, so it is not known how long Thomas was under excommunication. The assault could have happened shortly before the date of the letter, or possibly as early as the spring of 1319, when Thomas was acting as keeper of the realm and working in close conjunction with John de Sandale, the prior bishop of Winchester who was also chancellor of England.

Land/House:
He negotiated with the earl of Norfolk to take control for life of the lordship of Chepstow for a rent of £200 a year,20 and the following year, purchased the lordship outright for only £800. Chepstow was worth far more, so Thomas came out much the worse in this transaction, and many historians surmise he was forced into it, another victim of the Despenser tyranny. Yet the rest of the victims of the Despensers were widows, minor heirs, and those lower down on the social order. The earl of Norfolk was a young man in his early twenties, a peer of the realm and the brother of the king. The fact that Despenser was able to take such advantage of him is another indication of the low regard in which he was held

Offices Held:
The king confiscated the one office he was holding, marshal of England, because Thomas had failed to have someone execute the office on his behalf in Lancashire, when royal justices arrived there to hold the king's pleas. Thomas offered a fine of £100 to recover the office, which Edward II pardoned, but not without a public verbal rebuke, threatening his younger brother with punishment should he again fail to perform the duties of marshal properly.

Military:
On 24 September 1326, Queen Isabella and her son Edmund, landed on the Suffolk Coast. Thomas immediately joined them. While the usurpation was successful, he received little reward.

Miscellaneous:
He was granted the wardship and marriage of John de Segrave, the 12-year-old heir to the barony of Segrave.

Military:
In the Summer of 1328, Thomas participated in Edward Ill's disastrous Weardale campaign against the Scots.

Miscellaneous:
Thomas of Brotherton and Edmund of Woodstock led Edward III's young wife Queen Philippa to her coronation dressed as simple grooms.

Military:
Thomas commanded a contingent of royal forces in the Scottish campaign culminating in the battle of Halidon Hill on 19 July 1333.

Military:
He joined the King in the Scottish campaign, and was named the keeper of Perth. Yet he was not given a leadership position (there are no payments to him as a captain on the pay roll) which had to be humbling for the former Marshal of England.
