Biography

Thomas Tyrrell was born in England.

John's heir, Sir Thomas [ii] Tyrell of Heron (c.1411–1476), followed his father into the king's service, and was a knight of the body by 1452. With the outbreak of war his sympathies remained Lancastrian. In 1460 he was among the supporters of Henry VI who held the Tower of London when the Yorkists entered the city, although he apparently suffered no recriminations after the Yorkist victory. Unlike his brother William of Gipping, who was executed for treason in 1462, Thomas co-operated with the new regime, at least to the extent of serving on the commission of the peace from 1463 until his death. His sudden appearance on other Essex commissions during the readeption suggests that he was still in some sense seen as ‘Lancastrian’, but he remained at least as active during Edward IV's second reign. His low profile outside Essex is likely to have been, at least in part, his own choice, for he had friends at the highest levels of the Yorkist establishment. The supervisors of his will included ‘my singular good lord’ Henry Bourchier, earl of Essex, Sir Thomas Montgomery (the doyen of royal household men in Essex), and the queen's kinsman Richard Haute.^[1]

With his wife, Anne, the daughter of Sir William Marney of Layer Marney, Essex, Thomas had four sons. The eldest, William, predeceased him and was buried with his wife, Alianore Darcy, at the Church of the Austin Friars, London, where Thomas's father and stepmother were also buried. Sir Thomas's heir was thus William's son Sir Thomas [iii] Tyrell(c.1453–1510?). This Thomas was an esquire of Edward IV's body by 1480, perhaps through the good offices of Sir Thomas Montgomery, for whom he was to endow prayers in his will. He transferred smoothly into the household of Richard III, and was confirmed as an esquire of the body in July 1483 at a fee of £40. He occupied the office of master of the horse at Richard's coronation, and although this is often taken as an error for James Tyrell of Gipping (d. 1502) there is no reason to assume that this was the case; Thomas is more likely to have been acting as his cousin's deputy.^[1]

Needs Development/Needs Re-review: The Magna Carta Project badged this profile in 2015, but a trail from Thomas to a surety baron has yet to be developed. In addition, this profile needs to be updated (see the project's current checklist). ~ Noland-165 15:02, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
