Thomas Keyes (1544–1571) was the Royal Gatekeeper to the Queen regnant, Elizabeth I of England. He married her Majesty's cousin, Lady Mary Grey in 1564 without her consent. Upon hearing the ill-advised ceremony had taken place, Elizabeth is said to have declared with great wrath, "... I'll have no little bastard Keyes laying claims to my throne." For this, Lady Mary Grey was placed on house arrest until Thomas Keyes' death in 1572.
