[22045] See "The Spencers: A Personal History of an English Family," Charles Spencer (NY: St. Martin's Press, 1999), p. 6. which states Geoffrey "was the first founder of Marlow Abbey in Buckinghamshire, and was a witness to Henry II's Confirmation of Lands to Bungey Abbey in Suffolk. Letr in Henry II's reign there is record of the donation by Geoffrey Despencer of the Church of Boynton to Bridlington Priory. When he died, in 1251, Geoffrey left a son and heir, John, who was a minor. When he came of age, four years later, he was knighted by Henry III. This John was influential enough to obtain , in 1256, the Bull from Pope Alexander, which directed the Bishop of Salisbury to agree that John Despencer be allowed to build a chapel, and have a chaplain in his manor of Swalfeld . . ."

[1209] Madeline Hopton (see under Sir John Hopton, Thomas' grandfather, p. 6) surmizes that Thomas had poor health which prevented him becoming a Knight. Thomas married into the powerful Mortimer house ("his suzerain's family") which owned vast estates in Herefordshire, with their seat at Wigmore Castle.
