thomas's maternal uncle anthony woodville, earl rivers, and his younger full brother richard grey were both executed on 25 june 1483 by the orders of the former lord protector king richard iii, who had three days earlier claimed the crown of england for himself. richard's claim was supported by an act of parliament known as "titulus regius" which declared thomas's half-brother the uncrowned king edward v and his siblings illegitimate. although thomas and cecily attended richard's coronation, later that year, thomas joined the rebellion of henry stafford, 2nd duke of buckingham against the king. when this revolt failed and buckingham subsequently executed, he left cecily behind in england and escaped to brittany. there he became an adherent of henry tudor, who would ascend the english throne as henry vii following his success at the battle of bosworth on 22 august 1485. during the time thomas remained abroad in the service of henry tudor, king richard ensured that cecily and the other rebels' wives were not molested, nor their personal property rights tampered with. king richard would be slain at bosworth by the lancastrian forces of henry, ushering in the tudor dynasty. thomas, however, had played no part in henry tudor's invasion of england, or the subsequent battle, having been confined in paris as security for the repayment of a french loan to henry. in 1484 thomas had switched his allegiance back to king richard after learning his mother had come to terms with him. he had been on his way home to england to make his peace with richard when he was intercepted at compiègne by henry tudor's emissaries and compelled to remain in france.
