Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds
Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds, KG (20 February 1632 – 26 July 1712), English statesman (commonly known as Lord Danby and (of ) Carmarthen when he was a prominent political figure),〔Also by his earlier and then subsidiary titles of 2nd Baronet, of Kiveton, in the Baronetage of England, 1st Viscount Osborne, in the Peerage of Scotland, and 1st Baron Osborne, 1st Viscount Latimer, 1st Earl of Danby and 1st Marquess of Carmarthen in the Peerage of England.〕 served in a variety of offices under Kings Charles II and William III of England.
==Early life, 1632–1674==
He was the son of Sir Edward Osborne, Bart. of Kiveton, Yorkshire, and his second wife Anne Walmesley, widow of Thomas Middleton; she was a niece of Henry Danvers, 1st Earl of Danby. Thomas Osborne was born in 1632. He was the grandson of Sir Hewett Osborne and great-grandson of Sir Edward Osborne, Lord Mayor of London, who, according to the accepted account, while apprentice to Sir William Hewett, clothworker and lord mayor in 1559, made the fortunes of the family by leaping from London Bridge into the river and rescuing Anne (d. 1585), the daughter of his employer, whom he afterwards married.〔 Cites ''Chroicles of London Bridge'', by R. Thomson (1827), 313, quoting Stow.〕
Thomas's father was a staunch Royalist who served as Vice President of the Council of the North. Thomas's elder half-brother Edward was killed in an accident in 1638, when the roof of the family home collapsed on him; according to a family legend, Thomas survived because he had been searching for his cat under a table at the time of the disaster. Their father, a loving parent, is said never to have fully recovered from the loss.
Thomas Osborne, the future Lord Treasurer, succeeded to the baronetcy and estates in Yorkshire on his father Edward's death in 1647, and, after unsuccessfully courting his cousin Dorothy Osborne, married Lady Bridget, daughter of Montagu Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey, in 1651.
