Can I ask who is running this page and why they are not adding the right parents for this person and seem to be deliberately adding wrong information to this page. This page is for Thomas de la Poles am I right? Why are you saying his grandmother Katherine Wingfield is his mother when that is totally the wrong information. His father was Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk which makes his mother be Katherine Stafford who was the daughter of Hugh Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford and Philippa Beauchamp.

As you will see, below, I only recently adopted this profile. I agree that his parents are the second Earl and Katherine Stafford. I am attending to this.

This Thomas was the son of Michael, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, and he died in France while a hostage, not at Grafton.

Michael, 1st Earl, did have a son Thomas but he was in Holy Orders, a Prebendary at St.Paul's Cathedral, London.

"Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk (c1361-1415) had a son, Sir Thomas de la Pole, who had a daughter Katherine, married to Sir Miles Stapleton (d.1466). Sir Thomas died in 1433 while a hostage with the French for his brother William." Source: "The Dictionary of National Biography" (Compact Edition, Oxford, 1975).

You might want to change Thomas' mother because it isn't Katherine Wingfield. Katherine Wingfield is his grandmother. His mother is Katherine Stafford daughter of Hugh Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford and Philippa Beauchamp

Hello! Just making a note that the dates in the biography and the dates entered in the profile sketch above it don't match. I am guessing the biography dates have to be the more accurate ones if he is to be the son of his listed father? Though as Isabelle commented, maybe some research into if he is rather the son of the younger Michael, might be a good idea??

Either his birth date or his parents are incorrect (father died 1389). Medlands only gives one child, Michael, to Michael de la Pole and Katherine Wingfield. Thomas could be the son of the younger Michael. Or, he was born significantly earlier. See Medieval Lands

Katherine Wingfield is Thomas' grandmother. His father was Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk who was married to Katherine Stafford daughter of Hugh Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford and Philippa Beauchamp. Making Katherine Stafford Thomas' mother. I would really like to know why so many pages here on wikitree deliberately have the wrong information. Whether its someone's parents or the date of birth, date of death years.

I think it is a bit OTT saying that Wikitree has pages which "deliberately have the wrong information". Certainly we find occasional errors. If people raise them they will be checked and corrected.
