| Notes for Sir Thomas Berkeley |
Q Eliz was probably his godmother.
Smyth refers to him as "Thomas the short liver".
Made KB at Jas I's coronation.
He spent £1,500 a year more than his income of £600 a year; hence he got hopelessly into debt. After his death his debts were settled by his mother. |
