(^) Two of the ancestors of this Sir Thomas had been sum. to Pari., but there is no proof of their sitting, which probably is the reason why the Barony has not been claimed. V.G. () He was knighted in 15 13, either at Flodden 9 Sep., or in Touraine 5 Dec. i^) The statement as to his being sum. after death is made on the authority of the Pari. Pawn, but there was no new Pari, in Mar. 155 1/2, merely a fresh meeting of the one elected in 1547. V.G. ('^) J. H. Round in his Peerage Studies, pp. 334-5 and 336, treats this as a new creation, and points out that the Barony was ranked in 1536 [Lords' Journals) after Hussey, Windsor, and Wentworth, which were all created I and 2 Dec. 1529. V.G. () Sir Edward Burgh, who d. v.p. and s.p. before Apr. 1533 (having m. about 1529, Katharine Parr, afterwards Queen Consort to Henry VIII), and Sir Thomas Burgh (whose children, he being then deceased, were, though born in wedlock, bas- tardised by Act of Pari. (1542-43) 34 Henry VIII) were his elder brothers. (') The statement that he is miscalled " Thomas " in the writs on and after II Jan. 1562/3, rests on the authority of Dugdale's Summonses, but all the lists of writs in that work from p. 519 to p. 529 are a mere fabrication, and absolutely worth- less as an authority.
