The son of Sir Marmaduke Thweng of Kilton and his wife Lucy de Brus. His mother was the great, great granddaughter of Adam de Brus, Lord of Skelton brother to Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale, Thweng was also a vassal of Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale by virtue of the latter's fief in the North Riding, ties that would have far reaching effects during his career. He fought on the English side at the Battle of Stirling Bridge and the Battle of Bannockburn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bannockburn He achieved some fame at Stirling Bridge by a heroic escape. Over 100 English knights had been trapped, together with several thousand infantry, on the far side of the river, and were being slaughtered by the Scots. Thweng managed to fight his way back across the bridge and he thus became the only knight of all those on the far side of the river to survive the battle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stirling_Bridge Following the rout, Thweng with William FitzWarin were appointed castellans of Stirling Castle by the English leader John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. The castle was quickly starved into submission, and Thweng and FitzWarin were taken prisoner to Dumbarton Castle. At Bannockburn, however, after the English defeat, Sir Marmaduke apparently made no attempt to escape. Instead he wandered over the battlefield until he located Robert the Bruce; only then was he prepared to surrender, and only to the victorious King. Robert recognised Sir Marmaduke and released him and Ralph de Monthermer, also captured, both without ransom, but not without first entertaining them at table.

He served in Gascony, 1294-96, was sumoned in May 1297 to serve in Flanders, but was sent instead to Scotland. He distinguished himself at the battle of Stirling, 11 September 1297, and was rewarded with the command of Stirling Castle; which he was soon forced to surrender to the Scots, by whom he was imprisoned in Dumbarton Castle. He was released between July and November 1299, when he was again going on service to Scotland with 6 knights. He was among those ordered to guard the Marches against the Scots on many occasions between 1303 and 1322. He was summoned to Parliament from 22 February 1306/7 to 18 September 1322 by writs directed Marmaduco de Twenge, whereby he is held to have become LORD THWENG. In 1312 he joined the Earl of Lancaster in opposition to Piers de Gavaston, in 1321 he was ordered not to attend the meeting of "good peers" convened by Lancaster and in February 1321/2 he was summoned to Coventry for service against the Earl. He married, in 1273, Isabel, daughter of Sir William De Ros, of Ingmanthorpe, Yorks, by (it is said) Eustache, widow of Nicholas DE CAUNTELO, daughter and heir of Ralph FITZHUGH. She died in 1309 (b). He died shortly before 26 February 1322/3 (c). [Complete Peerage XII/1:740-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (b) L'Anson says that she was buried in the north aisle of the chancel of Guisborough Priory. (c) He held Thwing, Lund, Upleatham and Kilton, Yorks, of Sir Henry de Percy; Octon, Yorks, of Piers de Mauley. In Westmorland he was a tenant-in-chief for lands in Kirkby, Staveley and Hugill, together with lands in co. Lancaster. L'Anson is mistaken in saying that he d. in Apr 1323. He also says that he was buried in the north aisle of the chancel of Guisborough Priory. On the death of Thomas de Thweng [Marmaduke's 4th son] the Barony supposed to have been created by the writ of 1307 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his coheirs. These were: (1) Elizabeth, wife of William de Botreaux [Lord Botreaux], daughter of Sir Ralph Daubeney, [2nd Lord Daubeny] by his 2nd wife, Catherine, sister of Thomas. (2) Isabel, wife of Walter de Pedwardene. (3) John de Hotham, of Scorborough, Yorks, son of Maud, sister of Isabel, by John de Hotham. Isabel and Maud were daughters of Margaret, sister of Thomas de Thweng by Robert de Hylton of Swine, Yorks (i).

[Complete Peerage XII/1:743-4, XIV:612, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (i) The family of Hylton of Swine was a younger branch of Hylton or Hilton, of Hilton. Coll. Top. et Gen.
