• Notes

  Fifth surviving son and youngest child of Edward III, he is most remembered for having been the leader of the Lords Appellant, the alliance of nobles that, in 1388, succeeded in wresting power from Richard II. In 1397, with help from his uncle John of Gaunt, Richard succeeded in overthrowing the Lords Appellant. Thomas was imprisoned in Calais, where he was murdered, probably by a group led by Thomas de Mowbray, first duke of Norfolk.
