  • Sir Thomas Frowyk KS (c.1460 – 7 October 1506) was an English justice.
  • Born at Gunnersbury, Middlesex, Thomas Frowyk was the son of a London mercer, Sir Thomas Frowyk, by his second wife, Jane Sturgeon, daughter of Richard Sturgeon.[1] He had a sister, Isabel Frowyk, who married Sir Thomas Haute (d.1505), and a brother, Sir Henry Frowyk. His grandfather, Henry Frowyk, was also a mercer, and an alderman and Lord Mayor of London. Frowyk was mentioned in the 1464 will of his grandmother, Isabella Frowyk.[1][2][3]
  • Frowyk is said to have been educated at Cambridge.[1] He was admitted to the Inner Temple, .... etc.
  • Frowyk married firstly Joan Bardville, by whom he had a son, Thomas, who appears to have died young.
  • He married secondly, by 1498, Elizabeth Carnevyle, daughter of William Carnevyle of Tockington, Gloucestershire. At the time he made his will, Frowyk had a daughter, Frideswide, aged 9 on 2 February 1507;[5] it is not known whether she was the child of his first or second marriage. Frideswide Frowyk was the first wife of Sir Thomas Cheyney, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.[6][7][8]
  • After Frowyk's death, his widow married Thomas Jakes (d.1516), Clerk of the Warrants of the Inner Temple, and one of Frowyk's executors. Frowyk's niece, Elizabeth Frowyk, married Sir John Spelman, Justice of the King's Bench.[1]

  • From the 13th century onwards, if not before, members of the Frowyk family were prominent as London merchants and Middlesex landowners. With a father and grandfather who had both represented the county in Parliament, it was inevitable that Thomas Frowyk would be called upon to play his part in local government, although he clearly lacked the driving ambition which made his younger brother, Henry†, such an important figure in the City.2 .... etc.
  • .... His close connexion with (Sir) Thomas Charlton*, the son of his mother’s second marriage, was already well established, however, and the two men remained on intimate terms for the rest of their lives, sitting together for Middlesex in the Parliaments of 1422 and 1427, as well as becoming involved in each other’s property transactions. Frowyk was often made a feoffee-to-uses by his brother, Henry, who invested a substantial proportion of his commercial profits in land: both of them also acted in the same capacity—many times with their half-brother, Charlton— .... etc.

In an earlier section, he shows also the marriage to Margaret Leigh and reference to a manuscript which shows his children (Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary, Henry & Grace) as possibly by Margaret. Visitation (Bedfordshire) mentions only Joan Danvers and her daughter Margaret. Visitation (Sussex, 1530+1633-4, Ford) shows Margaret as mother of Thomas, Henry, Mary & Elizabeth.
