Thomas Lyte (1568–1638) of Lytes Cary was a Jacobean antiquary and historian. BackgroundThomas Lyte was the son of Henry Lyte of Lytes Cary in Somerset. He was educated at Sherborne, and a member of Clifford's Inn and Middle Temple.[1] Antiquary and historianA student of history and antiquity, Lyte is best remembered today for drawing up a most royally ennobled genealogy of James I, known as the Lyte Pedigree, which he presented to the king. In return James I gave Lyte a pendant jewel containing a miniature portrait of himself as a young man by Nicholas Hilliard in an oval gold frame set with twenty-five square table diamonds and four rose diamonds, with a cover in open-work with diamonds on the outside and enamel within. Known as the Lyte Jewel, the picture formed part of the Waddesdon Bequest and is now in the British Museum. [2][3] The antiquary Anthony Wood of Oxford described Lyte as "a gentleman studious of all good knowledge".
