Information
has gloss	eng: Sir Thomas de Multon (Moulton) (d.1240) Lord of Multon, in Lincolnshire was a British landowner and judge. He fought as a knight in Normandy in 1202-3, in Wales in 1211 and in Poitou in 1214. He was an unlucky speculator under King John, owing over £800 when the Exchequer reopened after the end of the First Barons' War. In 1205 he purchased the office of High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, which he held until 1208. Unable to pay his debts, he was imprisoned in Rochester Castle until he had discharged them. He regained royal favour, and in 1213 was appointed to investigate extortions by the High Sheriffs of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. As a northern lord and debtor Multon sided with the Barons during the civil war, and was one of the rebels who mustered at Stamford in 1215. As a consequence he was excommunicated in 1216, having previously been captured by the King in 1215. He was entrusted to Peter de Mauley and his lands were confiscated, being restored in 1217.
