This article appears in Volume V08, Page 432 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THOMAS GREY, 2ND MARQUESS OF DORSET (1477-1530) , the
eldest son of the 1st marquess, fled to Brittany with his father in 1484; after receiving several marks of the royal favour and succeeding to the title, he was imprisoned by
Henry
  VII., and remained in prison until 1509. He was on very good terms with
Henry
  VIII., who in 1512 appointed him to command the English army which was to invade France in conjuhction with the Spanish forces under Ferdinand of Aragon. In spite of the failure which attended this enterprise, Dorset again served in France in the following year, and in 1516 he was made lieutenant of the order of the Garter. Later he was at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and he was warden of the eastern and middle marches towards
Scotland
  in 1523 and the following years. He received many other positions of trust and profit from the king, and he helped to bring about the fall of Cardinal Wolsey, under whom he had probably been educated. He was famous for his skill in the tournament. He died on the loth of October 1530.
His eldest son Henry Grey, 3rd marquess of Dorset, was in 1551 created duke of Suffolk (q.v.). A younger son, Lord
Thomas
  Grey, was beheaded in April 1554 for sharing in the rebellion of Sir
Thomas
  Wyat; another son, Lord John Grey, was also sentenced to death for his share in this rising, but his life was spared owing to the efforts of his wife Mary, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne. Under Elizabeth, Lord John, a strong
Protestant
 , was restored to the royal favour, and he died on the 19th of November 1569. In 1603 his son Henry (d. 1614) was created Baron Grey of Groby, and in 1628 his
great
 -grandson Henry was made
earl
  of Stamford.
