Sir Thomas Hoo IV, Lord of Hoo and Hastings

Sir Thomas Hoo (ca 1396-1455) was the Baron of Hastings. In 1452, he learned of Edward Radcliffe's plan to establish a settlement in the newly discovered Atlantis. Hoo had heard that Radcliffe was going to take the whole community. When Radcliffe convinced him that only a small settlment was going, and that the new settlement would still maintain ties to Hastings, Hoo was mollified, although he realized that Radcliffe was really trying to escape the troubles the country was facing. However, Hoo didn't particularly care, and so let Radcliffe go.
