Sir Thomas Swynburne, Mayor of Bordeaux

Dear Newsgroup ~

There is a most interesting article on Sir Thomas Swynburne (died
1412), an Englishman who was Mayor of Bordeaux, written by X. Védère
entitled "Les Swynburne, maires de Bordeaux," which was published in
the French journal, Revue Historique de Bordeaux et du département de
la Gironde, 36 (1943): 5-15. The article correctly identifies Sir
Thomas Swynburne's father as Sir Robert Swynburne (died 1391), of
Little Horkesley, Essex, but errs in identifiying his mother as Sir
Robert Swynburne's second wife, Joan Botetourt. Sir Thomas was
actually the son of Sir Robert Swynburne and his first wife, Agnes de
Felton, daughter of William de Felton, Knt., of Edlingham,
Northumberland.

There is another interesting article on Sir Thomas Swynburne in the
French journal, Archives de l'Orient latin, 2 (1884): 378-388, which
may be found online at Google Book Search at the following weblink:

I note that the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography cites both
articles in its treatment of Sir Thomas Swynburne, but gives the date
for the Revue Historique article as 1993. The correct year of
publication is 1943.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
