===Birth and Parents===Thomas was the son and heir of [[Dymoke-6|Philip Dymoke]][''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', entry by A J Musson for 'Dymoke [Dymmok] family', print and online 2004] and [[Conyers-47|Joan Conyers]].[Walter C Metcalfe (ed.). ''The Visitation of the County of Lincoln in 1562-4'', George Bell and Sons, 1881, p. 42, [https://archive.org/details/visitationofcoun00cook/page/n93/mode/2up?view=theater Internet Archive]] He was said the be 27 at his father's death in 1455, pointing to a birth date of about 1428.[A R Maddison. ''Lincolnshire Pedigrees'', Vol. IV, p. 1204, [https://archive.org/details/lincolnshirepedi04madd/page/1275/mode/2up Internet Archive]] He may have been born at Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire where his father had his main residence.[Douglas Richardson. ''Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families,'' 4 vols, ed. Kimball G.

Thomas inherited lands at Scrivelsby and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
===Marriage and Children===Thomas married [[Welles-516|Margaret Welles]], daughter of Lionel Welles
===Life===During the early years of the Wars of the Roses, Thomas was a Yorkist.[''Cracroft's Peerage'', entry for '[http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/dymoke.htm Dymoke, of Scrivelsby, co. Lincoln]'] Thomas was knighted on 10 July 1460 at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Northampton_(1460) Battle of Northampton].[W A Shaw. ''The Knights of England'', Vol. II, Sherratt and Hughes, 1906, p. 12, [https://archive.org/details/ShawWATheKnightsOfEnglandVol21906/page/n19/mode/2up Internet Archive]] The next year he was Champion of England at the coronation of Edward IV, a role which was hereditary in the Dymoke family.[[[Wikipedia: King's Champion]]]
In December 1461 Thomas was granted an interest in the lands of [[Tailboys-9|William Tailboys]] during the lifetime of William's wife [[Bonville-28|Elizabeth]]: these lands had been confiscated following the Battle of Towton.
By 1469 Thomas had switched allegiances to the Lancastrians, and he supported the brief restoration of Henry VI in 1469.
===Final Years and Death===Thomas and his brother-in-law [[Welles-7|Richard Welles]] engaged in a private feud with [[Burgh-304|Thomas Burgh]]. In the course of this Thomas Burgh's manor house at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire was attacked. In March 1470 Thomas and Richard were summoned to Westminster by Edward IV. By the time they reached London, Edward IV had gone on to Huntingdon to deal with a rebellion led by Richard Welles' son Robert. There Thomas and Richard were pardoned for the attack on Gainsborough, but were told that they would be executed unless they persuaded Robert Welles to give up his rebellion immediately. They failed in this, and were executed on 12 March 1470,[[[Wikipedia: Battle of Losecoat Field]]]
Thomas's wife survived him, going on to marry Robert Radcliffe.
==Research Notes==
===Alleged Daughter Margaret===Douglas Richardson and Maddison's ''Lincolnshire Pedigrees'' state that Thomas and his wife Margaret Welles were parents of the [[Dymoke-3|Margaret Dymoke]] who married Thomas FitzWilliam,[A R Maddison. ''Lincolnshire Pedigrees'', Vol. I, Harleian Society, 1902, p. 357, [https://archive.org/details/lincolnshirepedi01madd/page/n747/mode/2up?view=theater Internet Archive]] and this relationship has previously been shown on WikiTree. Dates make it impossible. Thomas FitzWilliam's and Margaret Dymoke's son [[Fitzwilliam-115|Thomas]] was old enough in the late 1450s to be exercising judicial functions, and was almost certainly in his 60s in the mid-1490s:[''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', entry by S J Hayling for "Fitzwilliam, Sir Thomas (d. 1497)", online 2006, revised online 290908, [https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/92985 web] (viewable on subscription or via some libraries etc)] so his father must have been born well before the about-1428 birth date of the Thomas Dymoke of this profile.
