• Notes

  Sir Thomas de Greene, the son of John, was born in 1271. Halstead says of him: "Sir Thomas we find recited in an ancient catalog of the knights who accompanied Edward I against the Scots in 1296." Sir Thomas' wife was Alice, daughter and co-heir of Sir Thomas Bottisham of Braunstonl. Thomas fought with Edward I against the Scots. He used "de Boketon" at the end of his name in more formal situations; however, he was commoly known as "Thomas de Greene" and on some papers, he signed "Thomas de Greene". For a long time the full name of "de Greene de Boketon" was used in legal documents; in everyday speech it was shortened to "de Greene". Thomas deGreene is supposed to have perished in Palestine, leaving in far-off England a little son so young that his own heir was not born until twenty years after Prince Edward became king, which was in 1272. The old Lord, the child Sir Thomas' grandfather, died a few years after his crusading son. Sir Thomas we find recited in an ancient catalogue of the knights who accompanied Edward I against the Scots in 1296. Sir Thomas' wife was Alice, daughter ande co-heir of Sir Thomas Bottisham of Braunston. Sir Thomas de Greene was mentioned in the records of 1319 as then alive. (The Green Family and its Branches, from AD 861 to AD 1904 by Lora Sarah La Mance) When Prince Edward became King Edward I in 1272, he bestowed the title of Lord on the infant child, Thomas, in honor of the gallant service and friendship of Sir John. John de Boketon is considered the second heir in the de Greene family (the first being Sir Walter de Boketon. These facts are listed in a roll of the 7th year of Edward II (1314), repeating the name of Sir Walter and John de Boketon. As the fourth lord was certainly Sir Thomas, who received the title in his infancy, at the beginning of the reign of Edward I (1272). This Sir John de Boketon was doubtless the young crusading Knight who perished in Palestine in 1271.
