Ughtred is said to have received summonses to parliament from 30 April 1344 to 4 December 1364,[5][6] and is accordingly regarded as a peer.[5][6] However, in 1357 he was referred to as "Thomas Ughtred, knight, the elder"[11] and in 1360 he was styled simply "chivaler";[2] none of his descendants were summoned to parliament, and it has been suggested that he represented Yorkshire in the House of Commons in 1344 and 1352.[2]
