==Biography==
At Edgehill, the first pitched battle of the First English Civil War, Thomas Strickland commanded the regiment of foot while his father Sir Robert Strickland commanded a regiment of horse. For his gallantry Thomas Strickland, was made knight banneret by King Charles I in person, on the field at Edgehill, 23 October 1642.
After the restoration Sir Thomas was Member of Parliament for the county of Westmorland in the Cavalier Parliament of 1661 until 1676 when he was expelled as a Popish recusant. However he had not been active in the house speaking only once (against the impeachment of Clarendon) and declined to speak up in his own defence during the Common debate on whether to expel him. As rewards for his loyalty to the Crown he was granted the salt duty for twenty years, and by the post of Sub-Commissioner of Prizes. Also he shared with Sir John Reresby a fourteen-year monopoly on the production of steel. The anonymous author (but probably Andrew Marvel) of ''Flagellum Parliamentarium'', a contemporary publication which listed many of the pensioners of the Cavalier Parliament, described these rewards as bribes, given not for previous loyalty, but for supporting the court party in the post-restoration parliament.
Sir Thomas, was privy purse to Charles II and one of the privy councils to James II, and following the fortunes of James went into exile with him, dying in France on 8 January 1694. He was buried at Rouen. Sir Thomas was succeeded by his eldest son Walter.〔〔〔
