DNB Main notes for Thomas de Umfreville
Co-subject: Umfraville, Sir Thomas de
Dates: d. 1386
Active Date: 1366
Gender: Male
Of these, the elder Robert de Umfraville died before his half-brother the earl, so that his half-brother Sir Thomas de Umfraville d. 1386 now inherited Redesdale under the entail. This Thomas was never summoned to parliament, either as earl or baron, a fact which his poor and scanty estates will sufficiently explain. It is thought, however, that he acquired the Kyme property (Notes and Queries, 2nd ser. xi. 330-31), though how this happened it is not easy to see. He married Joan, daughter of Adam de Rodom, and had by her two sons. The elder son, Sir Thomas de Umfraville (1362-1391), who actually sat in the commons in 1388 as member for Northumberland, was the father of Gilbert de Umfraville (1390-1421) [q.v.], ‘Earl of Kyme.’ The younger son, Sir Robert de Umfraville (d. 1436), was knight of the Garter [see under Umfraville, Gilbert de,1390-1421]
