Notes for THOMAS (THE ELDER) TYNDAL: The Elder Sir Thomas Tyndall Kt., the son and heir of Sir John by Amfelice Coningsby born about 1505, for he was 34 years of age when he had livery of his father's lands on 29th Oct. 1539. (32)

He was one of the Esquires attired in a gown of velvet with a chain of gold' who attended the Duke of Norfolk on New Year's-eve 1539-40, when he met Anne of Cleves near Rochester and conducted her to the King; (57) and he was one of' the Knights of the Carpet who were dubbed by the Earl of Arundel in the presence of Queen Mary on the day after her coronation, 2d Oct. 1553. (58)

Sir Thomas had special license from the Crown on 15th Nov. 1556 to aliene and convey to William Tyndall, his son and heir apparent, on the occasion of his marriage, the manors of Ilsington and Clenchwarton with lands in Wigenhale and Tylney in Norfolk, and in 1570 he conveyed his manor of Hockwold and all his other estates in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, to William Lainbarde, Humphrey Windham, and Sampson Leunard Esquires, to hold the same, subject to his life interest therein and to certain powers of charging the same by his Will, to the use of his son and heir apparent 'William Tyndall, and John Tyndall brother of William, and their heirs absolutely. (60)

It is the proverbial fate of old men who abdicate in favour of their children that they live long enough to regret it, and Sir Thomas seems to have been no exception to the rule, for he carefully excludes from all share in the execution of his Will the two sons to whom he had made over the absolute reversion of his estates 13 years before. Whatever may have been his motive for making these arrangements, it is certain that his intellectual faculties were in now is decayed, for we hear of him in 1579 writing with success to his old friend Lord Burghley, the Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, to beg the Mastership of Queen's College for his son Humphrey Tyndall.

Sir Thomas had two wives, and survived them both.

• By his first wife Anne, the daughter of Sir William Paston Kt. of Paston in Norfolk, he had an only son William, who succeeded him at Hockwold.
• By his second wife Amy, the daughter of Sir Henry Fermor Kt. of East Barsham, lie had five sons and four daughters, of whom a full account will be given hereinafter. The precise date of his second marriage is not known, but it certainly took place before May 1544, when Sir Thomas sold the manor of Helpston, the last remnant of the Tyndall estates in Northampton shire, for the dower of his wife Amy was reserved from the sale. (6 i) Sir Thomas died about Christmas 1583, in his 79th year.
