[40186]

[40187] Appointed in infancy joint supervisor of the lands of the bishopric of Worcester, Thomas Russell is mentioned in 1535 as the bearer of letters to his father from Cromwell concerning the affairs of Worcester priory. His next appearance is as a
knight of the shire, by-elected on 27 Dec. 1542 to replace Sir Gilbert Talbot who had died on the previous 22 October. This distinction, while still in his early twenties and before he had exercised any public office, he evidently owed to his
father, who had then just completed his second term as sheriff. The sheriff at the time of the by-election, Sir George Throckmorton, who shared an interest in the estates of the bishopric of Worcester with the Russells, probably lent his
support.4

[40188]

[40189] Russell may have sat again in 1545, when the Worcestershire knights are unknown, and was probably returned before the opening of the Parliament of 1547, when his father was again sheriff, although his Membership is known only from the Crown
Office list drawn up for the fourth session. During this Parliament he was one of six knights, including the Duke of Lüneburg and Ambrose Dudley, a younger son the Earl of Warwick, dubbed at Westminster in November 1549 and two years later he
was pricked sheriff for the first time. He should not be confused with a namesake who served as provost marshal in 1549 and who had earlier been engaged in provisioning Boulogne and Calais. Nothing is known of Russell's role within the House or
of any part he may have played in the conflicts of the reign. He may have attached himself to Sir John Russell, created Earl of Bedford early in 1550, with whom the Russells of Strensham claimed kinship and in the household of whose son Sir
Thomas Russell's own elder son, born in 1551, was to be brought up. Since Bedford supported the Duke of Northumberland, however, this leaves unexplained Russell's failure to sit for his shire in the Parliament of March 1553. Whatever the reason
for that absence, he was again returned to the first Parliament of the new reign but was one of those Members of it who opposed the restoration of Catholicism. His Protestantism, thus

[40190]

[40191] III-1509-237 evidenced and later underlined by his friendship with Bishop Sandys whom he assisted in the compilation of the return of 1564, accounts for his failure to sit again before 1559, but he was not entirely excluded from favour, being
employed early in 1558 to raise men in Worcestershire for the relief of Calais. In October 1557 his father-in-law Sir Roger Cholmley (who had been imprisoned at the beginning of Mary's reign for his role in the succession crisis) was licensed
to grant his manors of Broad Campden, Gloucestershire and Over Strensham,Worcestershire, to the Russells.5

[40192]

[40193] Russell died on 9 Apr. 1574, six days after making his will. His widow and executrix married Henry Berkeley† of Somerset.6
