Son of Sir Knight Phillip Dymoke and Joan CONYERS Dymoke. Married Margaret WELLES June 13, 1457 at Grimsby, Lincolnshire. He was Champion of King Edward IV. He was executed at Queens's Cross, Stamford before the Battle of Stamford when Warwick withdrew support from Edward IV sending King into exile for a year.
From Wilipedia Encyclopedia: "Sir Thomas Dymoke (1428?-1471) joined a Lancastrian rising in 1469, and, with his brother-in-law Richard, Lord Willoughby and Welles, was beheaded in 1471 by order of Edward IV after he had been induced to leave sanctuary on a promise of personal safety. The estates were restored to his son Sir Robert Dymoke (died 1546), champion at the coronations of Richard III, Henry VII, and Henry VIII, who distinguished himself at the Siege of Tournai and became treasurer of the kingdom. His descendants acted as champions." Father of Sir Knight Lionel Dymoke.
