Thomas de Muschamp, 3rd of Wooler

SIR THOMAS DE MUSCHAMP. Occurs in a list of Northumberland knights in 1324. Descents for one of the same name occurs in the Harleian M.I. 294 no. 2188 of which we have no extract. In a petition to Edward III he showed that Sir John de Tilburne having been taken prisoner by his enemies in Northumberland and carried off into Scotland, he the said Thomas as his ally become hostage for him for three weeks and that he would render his body within that time or pay 100 marks but though this was done on Tilburne's covenants and oath, these pledges were by him altogether neglected and broken contrary to the order of chivalry, that which all knights and gentleman ought to have kept inviolable, so that by reason whereof there is risen a scandal and infamy to the English nation by the Scots. John de Copland, the celebrated Northumberland knight, gave him a bond for two hundred pounds dated at Barmoor in 1331. On 17th May 1341 Thomas de Musco-Campo had a licence from the crown to build a wall of stone and time to kernelate and strengthen his mansion of Barmoor. Also in the same year Thomas de Musco-Campo, Lord of Barmoor, entailed upon himself an annuity of thirty pounds for his life out of the manor of Middleton near Milford, with the remainder to Robert, his son and heir, male and failing them to his son William and his heir male. In 1348 he witnessed a deed respecting property in Hetherlaw and in 1352 he had a receipt from Prestwick, deputy of Kendel Strother, late Sheriff of Northumberland.
