Note

'Tom of Ten Thousand' succeeded to Longleat on the death of his uncle, Sir James Thynne, in 1670. He attached himself first to James, Duke of York , and then to the Duke of Monmouth. He was removed from command of the Wiltshire Militia for hostility at Court. "A man of the worst character", his wife, Lady Elizabeth Percy, hated him. She fled to Holland and Thomas’s love rival, Count Konigsmark (the Swedish adventurer). Thomas was murdered but the Count was acquitted of being an accessory at the trial. His epitaph reads: Here lies long Tom, of Longleat Hall, Longleat, Wiltshire, includes the first Safari Park outside Africa (opened in 1966). |
