Article
The fifth son, Thomas 1333-1369, was apparently at Rome when William Bateman [q.v.], bishop of Norwich, died in 1355, and was, at the request of Henry, duke of Lancaster, provided to that see by the pope, though only twenty-two years of age. He was consecrated at Waverley on 3 Jan. 1356. He had some dispute with the monks of his cathedral about the appropriation of certain tithes, and undertook extensive repairs in his church, to the cost of which he contributed four hundred marks. He was trier of petitions from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in the parliaments of 1363, 1364-5, 1366, and 1369, in which year he died on 8 Aug. His will, dated 25 March 1368 and proved 15 Nov. 1369, is preserved at Lambeth (Stubbs, Reg. Sacr.; Le Neve; Wharton, Anglia Sacra, i. 415; Rymer, iii. i. 341; Rolls of Parl. ii. 275 et seq.; Walsingham, Hist. Angl. i. 309; Leland, Collect. i. 182).
