Thomas Blagge

Colonel Thomas Blagge (13 July 1613 – 4 November 1660) served as Groom of the Chamber to Charles I and his son Charles II. He fought for the Royalists during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Born at Little Horringer Hall, Blagge was part of the Suffolk county gentry, connections which led to an appointment as a close personal servant to the king. When the First English Civil War began in August 1642, he quickly became a trusted and reliable Royalist brigade commander. As governor of Wallingford Castle, he was one of the last to surrender in July 1646.
