Thomas Clanvowe (died 1410) was a British landowner, Member of Parliament and Sheriff of Herefordshire. He was probably the son of Sir John Clanvowe (died 1391) of Hergest, Herefordshire. The surmame is an Anglicised Welsh name, presumably Llanfawr. In 1391 he entered the service of King Richard II as one of the Kings' esquires. In 1392 he married Perryne, the daughter of Sir Robert Whitney of Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire and one of Queen Anne’s ladies-in-waiting. They had no children. He was knighted in 1394/5 after taking part in a military expedition to Ireland and in 1400 took part in an invasion of Scotland under Richard, Lord Grey of Codnor. He was elected Knight of the Shire (MP) for Herefordshire in 1394 and January and September 1397. He was a Justice of the Peace (JP) for Herefordshire from 1397 to 1399 and appointed High Sheriff of Herefordshire for 1397–1399. In 1401 he accompanied Queen Isabella back to France after the overthrow of Richard II. In 1402 he accompanied Sir Edmund Mortimer on his campaign against the rebel Welsh leader, Owen Glendower, but the English were defeated at the Battle of Bryn Glas near Knighton, Radnorshire, and Clanvowe captured (but later released). He was a member of a group known as the Lollard knights after their heretical (Lollard) beliefs. ==References== *(【引用サイトリンク】CLANVOWE, Thomas (d.1410), of Hergest and Yazor, Herefs. ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Clanvowe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
