ABSTRACT
Thomas Paget was the second son of William Paget first Baron Paget. On 3 November Thomas Paget was permitted to occupy a place in Lord Stafford's chamber. He became the third Baron Paget in 1568, on the death of his brother Henry. Thomas Paget sold it to the Earl of Leicester in 1569-70. Both before and after the sale of Paget Place, Thomas had premises in the Charterhouse, where his residence may be reflected in his assessment for subsidy purposes in St Botolph's parish, in the Aldersgate ward. He became the third Baron Paget in 1568, on the death of his brother Henry. About 1570 he married Nazareth, the daughter of Sir John Newton and the widow of Sir Thomas Southwell. Their son William was born in 1572, but by 1578 they were living apart. Paget had grown up with musical instruments, and a variety was distributed among his homes.
