Norton, Thomas (1532–84), member of the Inner Temple, who in collaboration with a fellow-student,
Thomas Sackville (1536–1608), later the first Earl of Dorset and Lord Treasurer under Elizabeth I and James I, wrote
Gorboduc;
or,
Ferrex and
Porrex, the first surviving example of a regular five-act tragedy in the style of
Seneca in English dramatic literature. Apparently Norton wrote the first three acts and Sackville the last two. The play was performed before Elizabeth I on New Year's Day 1562 during an entertainment in the Inner Temple Hall; its theme resembles that of
King Lear, with Gorboduc, king of Britain, dividing his kingdom between his two sons, who quarrel over it and are both killed. Norton does not appear to have written anything else, but Sackville contributed to the second edition of
A Mirror for Magistrates (1563) the Induction and ‘The Complaint of Buckingham’, the only contributions having any literary merit.
