This profile was developed for the Magna Carta Project 15 March 2021 by Thiessen-117 and reviewed/approved for the Project by Michael Cayley on 19 March 2021.

Thomas Palgrave Gent. is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Richard Palgrave to Magna Carta Surety Baron Roger Bigod (vol. I, pages 297-303 BRANDON). This profile has also been identified in trails from Richard Palgrave to other surety barons, including Robert de Vere, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare and John de Lacy. All these trails were badged on 19 March 2021. See the Magna Carta Trails section of Edward Palgrave's profile to view the profiles in these trails.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
