In 1375, while a student in the diocese of Glasgow, he received a papal dispensation (necessary because of his illegitimacy) to receive the tonsure, be promoted to holy orders, and receive ecclesiastical benefices.Bliss, W.H.

Three years later he also became Canon of Dunkeld. In 1389 he was appointed Dean of Dunkeld.
The following year he received a papal dispensation allowing him to administer his archdeaconry 'in absentia' for a period of five years, and still continue receiving procurations from it, so that he could pursue studies at a university. He exchanged the deanship of Dunkeld for the archdeaconship of Brechin and went to Paris to study, sharing a house there with several other Scots.In 1393 he resigned the archdeaconship of Brechin. In 1395 he was awarded the title Bachelor of Decreets in Paris. His dispensation to be absent from his archdeaconry was renewed for another five years, and he also received permission to study and teach civil law in Paris during that time.
In 1401, with the support of his brother [[Stewart-972|Robert III]], he was elected bishop of St Andrews. However, Pope Benedict XIII was not immediately available to confirm his election, and Thomas resigned his right to the position in favor of Walter Danielston.Burnett, George.
