He volunteered to join the Imperial Hungarian Army against the Tt a young age as was recommended by Queen Elizabeth herself. For his gallantry in those wars he earned the name "The Valiant". At the battle of GRAN in Hungary 1595 he captured a standard from the Turks with his own hands for which the Emperor Rudolph II made a decree dated the 14th of December 1595, naming him COUNT of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. RODOLPH CONFERED THE "HONOR UPON YOU THOMAS AND ALL AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN, HEIRS, AND LEGITIMATE DESCENDANTS OF BOTH SEXES ALREADY BORN OR THAT EVER HEREAFTER SHALL BE". In 1605, he received the title of First Baron Arundel of Wardour.
