OTTO, THOMAS FITZ
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 ...

OTTO, WILLIAM FITZ
OTTO (or OTHO), WILLIAM FITZ (Brit.). Goldsmith, and Mintengraver in London, under Henry I. He succeeded Otto the Younger, who presumably died in 1120. Andrews supposes him to have been very young when his father died. Between 1120 and 1125 we note the hand of a very inferior designer, who produced work of so rude and uncertain a character that two dies are rarely alike ... In 1126 there is a great improvement in the dies. William Fitz Otho is now serving his apprenticeship under some one who, ...
