'''Thomas de Audley'''
  
He was born as a son of Nicholas de Audley (or Aldithelegh), tenant in chief to [[Edward I, King of England]].  Therefore, when Nicholas died while Thomas, his eldest surviving son and heir, was still a minor, Thomas person and marriage came to the hand of EdwardOn 23 Oct 1299, Edward granted the marriage to Hugh le Despencer "to the use of his daughter".  That grant states that Hugh and Nicholas had been negotiating for just such a marriage before Nicholas died.

He was born between 1296 and 1299. In CPR E1V3 p341 his marriage is granted so he was born by 23 Oct 1299, yet in CPR E2V1 p26 he is stated to have died while still a minor so he could not have been born before 7 Jul 1296His father, Nicholas de Audley died 28 Aug 1299 (citing [http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00177408&tree=LEO "Nicholas de Aldithley", Genealogics] which cites Burke's ''Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage'', London).
  
What happened to Thomas, has conflicting sources.  While CPR goes on later to state that Thomas died a minor and unmarried, it also later brings forth [[Eve de Clavering|Eva]] as "late the wife of Thomas de Aldithelegh, tenant in chief".

Whether Thomas was married, has conflicting accounts in CPR.  While it states that Thomas died a minor and unmarried (E2V1p26), it also later brings forth [[Eve de Clavering|Eva]] as "late the wife of Thomas de Aldithelegh, tenant in chief" (E2V1p72).
  
 
Unless there were two different persons living named Thomas de Aldithelegh, a possibility Rosie Bevan rejects, then it must be that CPR is in error on Thomas dying unmarried.
