  3. 4.  Sir Thomas Swynford, Sheriff of Lincoln Descendancy chart to this point (1.Katherine1) was born in 1366/67; died in 1432/33.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • History: birth to death

    Notes:

    History:
    By 1382, Sir Thomas had taken his father's place in John of Gaunt's retinue.

    In the struggle for the throne between Richard II and his cousin, Henry of Derby (future Henry IV), he supported his step-brother, Henry, and is said to have acted as constable of Pontefract Castle where Richard was kept in custody before dying under mysterious circumstances.

    Before 1402, he became the Sheriff of Lincoln.

    In 1402, his household wine provision was curtest of Henry IV.

    By 1404, he was captain of Calais. For the next few years he was on official duty for Henry IV as one of the two people negotiating a treaty with France and Flanders.

    But this overseas engagement is the beginning of troubles that were to plague Thomas to the end of his life. His reports and dealings in Calais were apparently the cause of some international concern due to Thomas' lack of fluency in French and, one might infer, his abilities as a diplomat. His father was not retained for diplomacy, and there is no evidence that Thomas, as his father's heir, received the education necessary to succeed in this role. Additionally, Thomas' term as sheriff of Lincoln was marred by the
    escape of at least one prisoner, for which he was fined. The fine was forgiven; perhaps a realistic assessment of Thomas' financial condition, smoothed by his familial relationship with Henry IV and his half-brothers. That Thomas Swynford suffered financial problems is also suggested by a 1409 notice of his outlawry on account of indebtedness to a London draper. In this same year, he is also only late sheriff of Lincoln and as such is pardoned by the king of £116 of the £135 he owed as sheriff. Is it any surprise, then,
    that in 1411 he is making a desperate bid to try to obtain a reputed inheritance in Hainault?

    In 1411, he tried to retrieve an inheritance in Hainault that had come to him through his mother.

    At his death, his inquisition post mortem shows he had alienated Coleby and Kettlethorpe as he held no lands in Lincoln.

    Thomas married Joan Crophill on 1383 - 1393. Joan died on 1416 - 1421. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
