• Background Information. 863
Thomas de Lathom, son and heir Sir Robert, did homage in 18 Edward II, to the king as Lord of West Derby, on his succession to Lathom, and occurs in numerous rolls of summons and royal charters from that period to 1370, when he died.

~Parentalia, Genealogical Memoirs, p. 68
• Background Information. 920
Thomas at once entered into public life and the fulfilment of the duties imposed upon him by his position in the county [Dods. MSS. cxxxi, 33b.]. He had already (1322) been appointed a commissioner of array for Lancashire and in 1324 was one of the knights of the shire attending Parliament; in the following year he was appointed a conservator of the peace, and shortly afterwards again nominated a commissioner of array [Palgrave, Parl. Writs, ii, 1078]. In 1339 he obtained a charter of free warren in his demesne lands of Lathom and elsewhere [Cal. Pat. R. 1338'9640, 396]. In 1340 he was a commissioner for the taxation of the ninth of sheaves, &c. [Ibid. 1340'963, p. 27] and was frequently engaged in levying forces in the county to repulse the inroads of the Scots in the reign of Edward III [R. Scot. i, 282, &c]. He was one of the knight bannerets with the king in the French expedition of 1344 to 1347, his retinue being a knight, eight esquires, and twenty-three archers [Staff. Hist. Coll. xviii, pt. 2, passim, p.35]. The extent of the county made in 1346 records that he held the manor of Lathom [Ancient MS. copy in possession of W. Farrer, fol. 17.], and in the inquest taken after the death of Henry, duke of Lancaster (1361), it was found that he held of him a knight's fee in Knowsley, Tarbock, and Huyton [Inq. p.m. 35 Edw. III, pt. i, n. 122]. There are but scanty records of his management of his estates. He married Eleanor, daughter of Sir John de Ferrars, knight, by whom he had two sons. By his will (1369) he desired to be buried in the priory church of Burscough [Scarisbrick D. (in Trans. Hist. Soc. New Ser. xiii), n. 102].
