Biography
Thomas Bryan was son of Sir Thomas Bryan and his wife, Isabel.[1][2] He was born abut 1457 probably at Cheddington in Buckinghamshire.
He was knighted in 1497 on the occasion of the King, Henry VII, entering London after the Battle of Blackheath. [3]
He married Margaret Bourchier, daughter of Sir Humphrey Bourchier and his wife, Elizabeth Tilney at some time before 1495. [2] Margaret, soon after the birth of the Princess Mary in 1516, was made Lady Mistress to the baby. [4]
Thomas died late in 1516 or early in 1517, the will that he had written on 1 October 1508 being proved on 30 January 1517. [4][5][6]
Research notes
- This profile has been detached from parents Edmund Bryan Alice Bures. Ongoing discussions in G2G have indicated that this profile represents Sir Thomas Bryan husband of Margaret Bourchier who is synonymous with Margaret Bowsey.
- Thomas DOB was given as 1 June 1457. So many of the profiles of the family have the same 1st June date that it has become a byword for unbelievable information. 1st June has been removed from this profile, about 1457 being used instead.
- The person noted as the questionable John Bryant once given here as son has been identified and sourced.

- Visitation of Essex 1552, 1558, 1570, 1612, 1634 Page 3: Barnes This names his wife as Margaret Bowsey which appears to be synonymous with Bourchier. She is however given as sister, not daughter, of Henry Bowsey (Bourchier), which is an obvious error.
