Sir Thomas Oud de Lupine of Cainhoe,
The White Wolf of Bedfordshire

Sir Thomas Oud de Lupine of Cainhoe, known as the White Wolf of Bedfordshire is the great great grandson of Nigel d'Aubigny, a Norman Knight, and supporter of William I of England. His name is frequently mentioned in the Domesday book in connection with lands in what is now Bedfordshire. He built and lived in Cainhoe Castle, a small Motte and Bailey structure to the east of Ampthill.

​

Thomas is considered a giant among men, standing over 6 feet tall. He doesn't have much to say allowing his actions to speak for him. Thomas sought to squire to the best Knights of the land, learning his skills with both the sword and shield.

​

Attaining his title of Knight the lord swore to protect his family with the same courage and loyalty as that of his nickname protecting its pack.

 

The Lady Lettuce Elizabeth of Cainhoe often occupancies his lordship on his many travels around the countryside under his protection.
