Person:Thomas Wentworth (24)

In 1528, he obtained a license from Henry VIII to remain covered in Henry's presence, by reason of his infirmity due to old age (although John Wentworth notes some skepticism about the true reason, given that he lived another 20 years)^[1].

2. ↑ Birth year estimated based on the fact that his father died in 1477, and he was the eldest of 4 sons, and on his death date and his license in 1528 mentioning his old age (although there is some skepticism about the true reason for the license). Note that it is also possible that a generation is missing and he was actually born later than 1470.
