OTTO (or OTHO), THOMAS FITZ (Brit.). Goldsmith, and Mintengraver in London, under Henry III., presumably from 1265 to 1268 or 1269, when he was replaced by Ralph Le Blound ; and again, under Edward I., from 1290 to 1294. He is styled Die Graver in Fee. We read in Ruding : " In the 49th year of Henry III., Thomas Fitz Otho claimed, in the Court of Exchequer, the broken dies, as belonging to him of inheritance, and had his claim allowed ; and in the 52nd year he presented before the barons, Ralph Le Blund to the office of cutter of the king's dies " (p. 41).
