- Thomas le Despenser, 2nd Lord (Baron) le Despenser of both the 1295 and 1314 creations, also 2nd and last Lord Despenser of the 1357 creation and 1st and last Earl of Gloucester, so created in Parliament 29 Sep 1397 (in which same Parliament he got the forfeiture of his great grandfather and great-great grandfather (the Elder and Younger Hugh le Despensers) lifted, thereby becoming rightful holder of their baronies--also presumably the Earldom of Winchester of the 1322 creation, though he seems not to have been referred to under such a title), KG (1399); and was beheaded 13 Jan 1399/1400 (after an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Henry IV following the latter's usurpation of the throne from Richard II the previous year (when Thomas was degraded from his Earldom), so that when Parliament met in Jan 1400/1 all his remaining titles were declared forfeited inasmuch as he had been a traitor).
