Lord Bardolph


Thomas Bardolf, 5th Baron Bardolf (died 19 February 1408) was a baron in the Peerage of England, Lord of Wormegay, Norfolk, of Shelford and Stoke Bardolph in Nottinghamshire, Hallaton (Hallughton), Leicestershire, and others, and was "a person of especial eminence in his time".

He was an armiger, his Arms being: Azure, three cinquefoils, or. A supporter of the rebellion of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland against King Henry IV after the death of Percy's son Harry Hotspur, he died from wounds received at the Battle of Bramham Moor.

The eldest son of William 4th Lord Bardolf, Knight, of Wormegay, Thomas Bardolf de Wormegay, 5th Baron Bardolf, was summoned to parliament from 12 September 1390 to 25 August 1404.

He took part with Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, and others, in their insurrection against King Henry IV, and being pursued by the Royal army in great force, was obliged to flee to France. But about three years after returning to England, he resumed his alliance with the Earl of Northumberland, Thomas Mowbray (Earl Marshall), and Richard le Scrope (Archbishop of York), only to be defeated again in Yorkshire by John of Lancaster and the Earl of Westmorland. The king ordered the execution of Mowbray and Scrope, who were subsequently beheaded at York.
