Sir Thomas Moulton, Moleton, Muleton, or Multon (died 1240), also recorded as Thomas de Moulton, Thomas of Moulton, etc., was an English landowner, knight, and judge during the reigns of King John and King Henry III. From a family with landholdings in the south of Lincolnshire, he was the son and heir of Thomas Moulton (died before 1198) and his wife Eleanor Boston. After initial military service, he became a senior judge and held important government positions, in the process extending his inherited estates and accumulating considerable wealth.^[1]
