Sir Thomas de la Dale (c.1317-1373) was an English-born judge and landowner who held the office of Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He was born at Little Barford, Bedfordshire, son of Thomas de la Dale, who married the heiress Isabel de Leyham in 1316; in 1346 "Thomas, son of Isabel" is listed as the owner of Barford; he also inherited lands at Everton, Bedfordshire. In 1358 he was exempted from the usual feudal duties of a landowner. He went to Ireland in 1361 as part of the entourage of Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and was in Ireland, apart from short intervals, until 1369. He was made Lord Chief Justice in 1365, and was also described as "Governor"; he became Custos Rotulorum of Ireland in 1366. He died in 1373. His son, also Sir Thomas de la Dale (died 1396), was a senior member of the household of Lionel's younger brother, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster; he sometimes went by the alternative surname Fulthorpe, and was "a man of substance". Fulthorpe was succeeded by his son, yet another Thomas de la Dale. The de la Dales owned Barford until the male line of the family died out in the sixteenth century. The last of the Dales, Anne, married Alexander Fettiplace in 1537. ==References== *Balll, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 *McFarlane, K.B.
