  • Name Thomas Of GLOUCESTER  [1, 2, 3
    • He was summoned to Parliament on 1 Dec 1376, and created Earl of Buckingham on 16 July 1377 at the Coronation of King Richard II when he acted as Constable, and Duke of Gloucester on 6 Aug. 1385. He was Earl of Essex 'jure uxoris', but not of Herreford or Northampton, and was recognised as Constable of England 'jure uxoris'. He was active in the French and Scottish wars, and was the leader of the opposition against the autocratic rule of his nephew King Richard II. After ten years of quarreling with Richard, he was said to have conspired to imprison the King. Thomas Of Gloucester, Duke of Gloucester, was arrested at Pleshey, taken to Calais where he was murdered by suffocation, it is said in a house called the Prince's Inn, on 8 or 15 Sep 1397 according to the confessions of his murderers, and was buried at Westminster Abbey.
