Thomas Blanke
Sir Thomas Blanke was a 16th-century English politician who served as Lord Mayor of London. He was the son of a London haberdasher, also named Thomas Blanke, and the brother-in-law of John Altham, one of the Sheriffs of London in 1557.〔Burke, Bernard, and Burke, Ashworth Peter () "A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I" pg. 248〕〔() "The Visitations of Essex" pg. 538〕 Like his father, Thomas Blanke followed the trade of a haberdasher. He became an alderman in 1572 and served as one of the Sheriffs of London in 1574.〔City of London Corporation () "Analytical Index to the Series of Records Known as the Remembrancia" pg. 153〕 He was elected Lord Mayor of London in 1582. He had the misfortune to be elected during a severe outbreak of the plague;〔Radcliffe, John Netten () "The Pestilence in England: An Historical Sketch" pg. 37〕 due to the pestilence, there was no pageant celebrating his election, and he was not presented to the queen until the next May.〔Withington, Robert () "English Pageantry: An Historical Outline, Vol. II" pg. 22〕 Much of his mayoralty was spent dealing with the effects of the plague, and his efforts earned him the appellation of "The Good Knight".〔() "The European Magazine and London Review, Vol. 52" pg. 12〕 He died in 1588, at the age of 74, and was buried at St Mary-at-Hill;〔Thornbury, George Walter, and Valford, Edward () "Old and New London" pg. 41〕 his wife lived until 1596, being buried in the same tomb.〔Targoff, Ramie () "Posthumous Love: Eros and the Afterlife in Renaissance England" pp. 25 - 26〕 As he had died without issue, his estate at Abbott's Inn passed into the Altham family, who retained it until it was destroyed in the Great Fire of London.〔() "Archaeologia: Or Miscellaneous Tracts Relating to Antiquity" pp. 408 - 410〕
