| m2. (mcrt 18.07.1474) Cecilia (dau of William Bonville, Lord Bonville and Harrington) | |||||||||||||||
| Not sure which wife was the mother of Thomas's eldest sons. His successor Thomas (and younger sons) is reported by BP1934 to have been by Cecilia and his daughter Cicely (shown by BE1883 as his eldest daughter) is reported by TCP (Dudley) also to have been by Cecilia. | |||||||||||||||

| m2. Frances Brandon (dau of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk) | |||||||||||||||
| Frances's mother was Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII of England. This meant that her daughter, Jane Grey, was in line for the throne of England, albeit certainly not at the top of that line. Nevertheless, apparently at the instigation of the dying King Edward VI who was keen that his Protestant reforms would not be undone by his Catholic half-sister Mary and who suspected that his other half-sister Elizabeth would not support a coup against Mary, Henry Grey conspired with the Duke of Northumberland (father of Jane's husband Lord Dudley) to put Jane on the throne of England after Edward's death. The 'reign' lasted only 9 days before Jane was replaced by Edward's half-sister Mary. The various parties involved in the conspiracy were beheaded and the Dukedom of Suffolk was forfeited. | |||||||||||||||
