Notes for Thomas Basset
Keats-Rohan does not give his parents so I have omitted the father half-heartedly given him by J R Round in his DNB article.
________________
However John Ravilous reported in “Basset and Sandford” on 10 Sep 2005 that his father was Gilbert and his mother was Edith d’Oilly. This is not mentioned at all in Keats-Rohan’s DD.
________________
ODNB says his father was Gilbert, d. 1154, who was brother of Ralph Basset, d. c. 1127.
