Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormonde, P.C., was born 1426 and died on 3 August 1515.

He was the son of James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormonde and Joan Beauchamp.

He was attainted, but restored by Henry VII' s first Parliament, November 1485, and the statutes made at Westminster, by Edward IV, which declared him and his brothers traitors, were utterly abrogated. He was afterwards sworn of the Privy Council of England, and had summons to Parliament, 14 November 1495, as "Thomas Ormond de Rochford.”

He married firstly, Anne Hankford, daughter of Sir Richard Hankford, and had two daughters and co-heiresses, who inherited the English estates:

Anne Butler (b. c. 1453), married Sir James St. Leger, and had a son.

Margaret Butler (b. c. 1455-bt 1539/40), married Sir William Boleyn, and had issue. Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII, was their granddaughter. Queen Elizabeth I was, therefore, their great-granddaughter.

He married, secondly, Lora Berkeley, daughter of Sir Edward Berkeley, and widow of 3rd Lord Mountjoy and by her had another daughter.
