Thomas Frowyk

Sir Thomas Frowyk KS (7 October 1460–1506) was a British justice. He was the son of Sir Thomas Frowyk, a Mercer, and grandson of Henry Frowyk, who had served as Lord Mayor of the City of London. He was educated at Cambridge University and joined the Inner Temple and gave readings in 1492 on the Statutes of Westminster and in 1495 on the Royal Prerogative, both of which were later commonly cited. He was made Common Serjeant of London in 1486, Serjeant-at-law in 1496 and King's Serjeant in 1501. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on 30 September 1502 and knighted the same year. He died on 7 October 1506 in his mid-forties, and was buried in Finchley, although parish registers report that his memorial was later defaced and replaced on October 14th 1760.
