Thomas succeeded to the title of 2nd Earl of Angus on 9 December 1331. He fought in the taking of Berwick in May 1355, where he commanded. He was one of the eight lords, of whom three were to place themselves in the hands of the English as security for the release of King David II. He held the office of Great Chamberlain [Scotland] from 1357 to 1358. On 18 August 1359 he had a safe conduct for four ships of Flanders, but he broke his engagement. In March 1360 he was charged to return to England to fulfill his obligations as hostage. He died in 1361 at Dunbarton Castle, from the plague while imprisoned for alleged complicity in the murder of King David II's mistress, Catherine Mortimer.
