[4] Thomas' brother Richard became Bishop of Bayeux in about 1108, holding the post till his death in 1133.
[1] On account of his refusal to profess obedience to the Archbishop of Canterbury, his consecration was delayed and formed part of the Canterbury-York dispute.
[10] He also created more prebends in his diocese, extending the work of his two predecessors in introducing the Norman system of ecclesiastical government.
He also endowed Hexham Priory, a house of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, with lands and books.
Hugh the Chantor relates the story that Thomas one time when ill was told by his doctors that he would only be cured by sexual intercourse with a young girl.
