Thomas de
Hotham II, the second son of Thomas de Hotham I, was probably born between 1200
and 1210. He died before 1260, when his widow's name was Alice.
On 29
September 1227, Thomas de Hotham and Walter de Hotham were witnesses to an
agreement between Sir Marmaduke de Thwenge and William son of Robert the
Constable of Holderness, concerning land in Kilham which William had given in
frank marriage with Cecily his daughter [1].
In 1253 Alice
widow of Robert de Hotham sued Peter de Welton for one third of 80 acres of
land and 22 acres of meadow in Cranswick and Hutton, and one third of 4 bovates
and 6 acres of land and 16 acres in Scorborough which she claimed as dower.
Peter called to warrant Thomas de Hotham, brother of the said Robert, and with
regard to Scorborough, John son and heir of the said Robert, now under age and
in custody of Peter de Mauley [2].
In 1260,
Alice, widow of Thomas de Hotham sued Geoffrey Aguillon concerning one third of
three tofts and two bovates in Beswick which she claimed as dower, and the
defendant called to warrant Geoffrey, son and heir of Thomas de Hotham, now
under age and in custody of John de Hotham [3].
On 26 July
1267, John de Cresacre was pardoned for the death of Thomas de Hothum, of which
he is indicted [4].
