Thomas de Ros, 9th Lord de Ros of Helmsley
He died on 14 May 1464 at age 36, beheaded.
In consideration for his services to the king he was delivered his inheritance in March 1446, even though he was still a minor. He fought in France and was one of the hostages given to the French on the surrender of Rouen. From 1448 till 1457 he was summoned regularly to Parliament and also to several Great Councils. In September 1452 he had a commission to press crews for ships under his orders, and to go to sea in July 1453.
He fought in the first battle of St.Albans, 22 May 1455, and served on sundry commissions in the troubled years between 1457 and 1460 in Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. For his good services against the Yorkist rebels he received an annuity of £40 in March 1460. In January 1460 he was with the Duke of Somerset at Guines and on 30 December 1460 fought at Wakefield, then, on 17 February 1461, at the second battle of St.Albans. After the battle of Towton Field he fled with King Henry VI to Scotland and was attainted in King Edward IV's first Parliament on 4 November 1461.
In December 1462 he was in Bamborough when it surrendered to the Yorkists. In 1464 when he was with the Lancastrian army at Hedgley Moor, they were defeated and he was captured in a wood, taken to Newcastle, and executed.
He was attainted 4th Nov. 1461, for his attachment to his sovereign, H. VI. and his castle of Belvoir given to Lord Hastings.
