"Thou shalt be nam'd Thomas!"
Also happy not to have a question about NI, let’s be fair, it’ll just be about “The Troubles” and we’re trying our best to not be known purely for blowing each other up anymore.
Whilst the most common theory is that he was thrown from his horse during a siege of Mantes and was severely wounded (although others claim he actually just fell ill, he was severely overweight by this point) either way he didn't die during the siege, instead he died 5 weeks later in a priory.
That hardly counts as dying in battle.
