Thomas Clifford, 6th Baron Clifford

On 25 June 1386, Northampton, the herald, was allowed to carry a challenge from 'Thomas de Clifford, chivaler l'eisne Fitz-Rogeri, Sire de Clifford,' to Sir Bursigande, eldest son of 'le Sire Bursigande,' in France.

Rymer has preserved a document, dated 28 January 1387, in which the king licenses 'our very dear and loyal knight, Sir Thomas Clifford, to perform all manner of feats of arms' on the Scotch borders.

[1] In 1384, he was granted the custody of Carlisle Castle for life jointly with John Neville, and in 1386 was appointed a warden of the west march.

His name occurs in the council minutes for 28 April 1390; and according to Dugdale, he received summonses to parliament in 1390-2.

Clifford, overcome by remorse, set off for Jerusalem and died in 1391 on an unidentified Mediterranean island.
