Thomas PAGET, 4th Baron Paget ca.1544-1590
Biographical Note
Younger son of William Paget, 1st Baron Paget; he inherited the title and family estates after the death of his elder brother Henry in 1568. He matriculated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in 1559, but did not graduate, and was admitted at the Middle Temple in 1561. He became an increasingly active supporter of Roman Catholicism and encouraged Jesuit missionaries; in 1583 he fled to France, having been involved in the Throckmorton Plot. He was convicted of treason and remained in exile in Europe, travelling around various countries before dying in Brussels.
