"The Burghs had been settled at Cowthorpe in the North Riding of Yorkshire from at least the thirteenth century, and only gained Lincolnshire interests in the fifteenth century. Richard Burgh, a retainer of Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marshal, Earl of Nottingham and later Duke of Norfok, left two sons, the eldest of whom, John, may have been the John Burgh who attested the Lincolnshire election of 1436. He died childless in 1438, and after the death of his wife, Isabel, in 1451, his lands passed to the Rouclyff family, the children of his younger brother, Thomas, who had married Elizabeth, widow of Sir William Lucy and the heiress of a junior branch of the Percy Earls of Northumberland. Their son, Sir Thomas, inherited only modest estates. He gained the manor of Couseby from his father, while his mother's lands consisted of the Northumberland barony of Mitford and the Lincolnshire manor of Gainsborough, which became his home. Sir Thomas joined the Yorkists from an early stage, possibly through his Stafford cconnections, becoming a friend and supporter of Edward IV, and the chief royal agent in Lincolnshire throughout Yorkist period. He was a prominent royal household officer, a Knight of the Body and Master of the Horse to Edward IV, was created a Knight of the Garter by Richard III, and was elevated to the peerage as Lord Burgh of Gainsborough by Henry VII in 1487. Sir Thomas died on 18 March 1496, and was buried at Gainsborough, where he built the famous Old Hall, probably as a replacement for the house destroyed prior to the 1470 Rebellion. He was succeeded by his son, Edward, but Thomas' successors failed to build upon his successful career, and the family died out during the sixteenth centry. John Burgh, escheator of Lincolnshire in 1463 and a Lindsey JP in 1470, may have been a brother of Sir Thomas, but there is no firm evidence...."
Reference Note: The "Stafford cconnections" mentioned above are referenced in the following two publications:
1) The above mentioned 1999 Thesis, which states the following: Page 284: "Sir Thomas Burgh of Gainsborough 1st Lord Burgh (c.1431-90)" married "Margaret Roos", and Page 60: the "Roos" family held "Staffordshire estates"; Page 188: "Burgh's personal associations lay elsewhere - Hastings, the Staffords, and even the Woodvilles"; Page: 209: "For Burgh's Stafford cconnections, see Rawcliffe, 'Staffords', pp.55-6, 200, 225" (see below).

Burgh's activities at court made it necessary for him to appoint a series of deputies.... Among their duties were the imposition and collection of entry fines, the inspection of ministers' accounts and the sale of timber; they were also expected to draw up leases and eal with a wide variety of legal business." Interestingly, an online account (http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/ThomasBorough(1BGainsborough).htm) of "Sir Thomas Burgh" also states the following: "Nothing for certain is known about his [Sir Thomas Brough's] early life, but he did serve in the great household of Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham (The Dukes castle of Kimbolton is enfeoffed to Sir Thomas in 1459), a senior but respected member of Henry VI’s government, from 1456/7, when he was paid ten marks per annum. Sir Thomas may have transferred to the Duchess Anne’s household, maintaining his Stafford cconnections even after his employment by the King, acting as a Surveyor General for the dowager Duchess (from 1461) and also as executor of her will in 1480. Sir Thomas also acted as feoffee for Henry, 2nd Duke of Buckingham. Sir Thomas appears in recorded documents in 1455, at the death of his mother, as being aged '24 or more...""Sir (Lord) Thomas Burgh" is described in the book, "History of Parliament, Biographies of the Members of the Commons House, 1439-1509", by Josiah C.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Burgh_of_Gainsborough
Sir Thomas Burgh (pronounced: Borough), KG (c. 1431- 18 March 1496) was an English gentleman. In records, the peerage, and genealogy books he is shown as being created 1st Lord Burgh, of Gainsborough [England by writ] on 1 September 1487. He was several times summoned to Parliament, but never sat; whether he held a hereditary peerage is debatable; fifteenth century records treat him as a knight. His son was never summoned to Parliament [because he was found insane in 1510]; his grandson was summoned and sat in the House of Lords, but sixteenth century records treat this as a new creation in 1529 after the death of his father. When the Burgh peerage was drawn out of abeyance in 1916, however, it was given precedence as of 1487. He had noble ancestors on both sides: his mother was one of the daughters of Sir Henry Percy, who was in turn grandson to Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland and to David of Strathbogie, Earl of Atholl, descended from the ancient Mormaers of Atholl.
The Burgh family [ancestry of Thomas Burgh of Gainsborough, 1431-1496)] sprang from Hubert de Burgh [1212-1243], younger son of Hubert de Burgh [1160--1243], 1st Earl of Kent, and his wife, Beatrice de Warrenne, daughter of William de Warrenne, Lord of Wormegay [in Norfolk county], and Beatrice de Pierrepont. The Burghs were rich, flamboyant and powerful people. Thomas was in great favour with the King as many offices, positions, land grants, and pensions were bestowed upon him. [Research Note: See BFO RIN# 53582 for ancestry of Hubert de Burgh, 1212-1243.]
Thomas was Esquire of the Body to King Edward IV of England and by Christmas 1462, Thomas was created a Knight by the King and a Privy Councillor. Sir Thomas slowly became the King's chief man in Lincolnshire where he held manors, land, tenemants from Northumberland (from his mother's inheritance, which he shared with her sister Margaret, Baroness Grey of Codnor through Westmorland, Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire, down to his wife’s dower lands in Somerset. Thomas became a rich man who was backed by the King and soon found himself giving advice and legal help to the people of Lincolnshire as well as becoming their Sheriff in 1460 and their representative in Parliament. It was Sir Thomas Burgh with Sir Thomas Stanley who rescued King Edward IV from the Earl of Warwick whom the Earl had kept prisoner in his castle of Middleham. In 1471, when Edward IV came to reclaim his throne it was Sir Thomas who was first to rally to his side. Sir Thomas fought at the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury.
After the unexpected death of Edward IV, Sir Thomas was courted by King Richard III of England. Thomas initially supported King Richard, but was more interested in securing the future of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond , who would become King in 1485. Although Thomas fought in the Battle of Bosworth, his role was kept secret by chroniclers and Thomas was soon in good standing with the new King. After his accession to the throne, King Henry confirmed Thomas as Knight of the Body and Privy Councillor.
In 1460, Sir Thomas built the great Old Hall in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Gainsborough Old Hall was not only their home, but also a demonstration of their wealth and importance. Sir Thomas was a great benefactor to Newark Church and also the founder of the Chantry and Alms House at Gainsborough. In 1470, the manor was attacked by Sir Robert Welles over a clash about lands, status, and honour, but it was not severely damaged. It was in 1484 that Sir Thomas entertained King Richard III in his hall. Today, the Hall with its elaborate timber roof survives as well as the kitchen—possibly the most complete medieval kitchen in England. The Hall is over five hundred years old and one of the best preserved medieval manor houses in England.
Sir Thomas married Margaret de Ros (1432–1488) widow of William de Botreaux, 3rd Baron Botreaux (d.1462). Margaret was the daughter of Sir Thomas de Ros, 9th Baron de Ros and Lady Eleanor Beauchamp, second daughter of Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and Elizabeth Berkeley. Lady Eleanor was an older paternal half-sister of Henry de Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick and Anne Neville, Countess of Warwick. After the death of the 9th Baron Ros, Margaret's mother, Lady Eleanor, married Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset, thus making Margaret a maternal half-sister of the Duke of Somerset. Sir Thomas and Margaret had the following [five] children: [1:] Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh, married Anne Cobham, daughter of Thomas Cobham, 5th Baron Cobham and Lady Anne Stafford, and had issue. His grandson, Sir Edward Burgh, would marry Catherine Parr; later Queen consort of King Henry VIII. [2:] Elizabeth Burgh (d. 1 August 1507), married Richard FitzHugh, 6th Lord FitzHugh, and secondly Sir Henry Willoughby. [3:] Margaret Burgh (d. before April 1493), married Sir George Tailboys. Like her brother Edward, Lord Burgh, her husband Sir George was also found to be a lunatic in 1531. [4:] Thomas Burgh. [5:] Anne Burgh.
Lord Thomas died on 18 March 1496. He was buried next to his wife, Margaret, in the family vault in Holy Trinity Church, Gainsborough.Interesting Online Comment: According to Prestige Paranormal (http://www.prestigeparanormalevents.co.uk/#/gainsborough-old-hall/4559678276), "There is a story that a daughter, supposedly called Elizabeth, of Thomas Burgh [who built Gainsborough Old Hall in about 1460], fell in love with a servant or poor soldier. As punishment she was locked in a room where she starved to death. Over the years people have reported sightings of her especially in the tower room. Then, during renovations, part of the corridor wall was stripped back to the timbers only to reveal a Tudor door which had long since been sealed up and hidden by plasterwork exactly where the Grey Lady used to disappear.... Meanwhile, in the west range (where the gift shop is now housed) the presence of a young boy has been reported. Research carried out...has uncovered a very sad story attached to the a child who died there in Victorian times. Orbs have been been captured on camera."

"The Burghs had been settled at Cowthorpe in the North Riding of Yorkshire from at least the thirteenth century, and only gained Lincolnshire interests in the fifteenth century. Richard Burgh, a retainer of Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marshal, Earl of Nottingham and later Duke of Norfok, left two sons, the eldest of whom, John, may have been the John Burgh who attested the Lincolnshire election of 1436. He died childless in 1438, and after the death of his wife, Isabel, in 1451, his lands passed to the Rouclyff family, the children of his younger brother, Thomas, who had married Elizabeth, widow of Sir William Lucy and the heiress of a junior branch of the Percy Earls of Northumberland. Their son, Sir Thomas, inherited only modest estates. He gained the manor of Couseby from his father, while his mother's lands consisted of the Northumberland barony of Mitford and the Lincolnshire manor of Gainsborough, which became his home. Sir Thomas joined the Yorkists from an early stage, possibly through his Stafford cconnections, becoming a friend and supporter of Edward IV, and the chief royal agent in Lincolnshire throughout Yorkist period. He was a prominent royal household officer, a Knight of the Body and Master of the Horse to Edward IV, was created a Knight of the Garter by Richard III, and was elevated to the peerage as Lord Burgh of Gainsborough by Henry VII in 1487. Sir Thomas died on 18 March 1496, and was buried at Gainsborough, where he built the famous Old Hall, probably as a replacement for the house destroyed prior to the 1470 Rebellion. He was succeeded by his son, Edward, but Thomas' successors failed to build upon his successful career, and the family died out during the sixteenth centry. John Burgh, escheator of Lincolnshire in 1463 and a Lindsey JP in 1470, may have been a brother of Sir Thomas, but there is no firm evidence...."The ancestry of the Burgh's of Gainsborough is described in Wikipedia as follows
