Persona History:

Thomas of Tenby is an obscure 12th century Anglo-Welsh bard. He may have traveled with John Lackland to Ireland and possibly as far as the Kingdom of France. His grandfather was a Welsh hill baron. Most of his descendents were also named Thomas including a 14th century Cisterian monk and the Elizabethan stonemason Thomas Marner who lived at number 10-B Downing Street. All are said to have written poetry, much to the confusion of historians.
