Sir Thomas Bryan (died c. 30 January 1517) was an English courtier during the reign of Henry VIII.
He was the son of Sir Thomas Bryan, and became vice-chamberlain to Catherine of Aragon.
[1] His wife, Lady Margaret, was governess to the King's four acknowledged children, Mary, Elizabeth, Edward and his illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset.
[citation needed] She impressed the King so much that he made her Baroness Bryan in her own right.
But it was not only Thomas Bryan's nieces by marriage who attracted the King, but also his daughter, Elizabeth Carew; Elizabeth was linked to Henry from 1514 and was said to have been given jewels by Henry VIII that technically belonged to the queen, Catherine of Aragon.
