2. | 3rd Duke of Norfolk Thomas Howard, II was born in 1474 in Kenninghall, Norfolk, England (son of I 2nd Duke of Norfolk Thomas Howard and Elizabeth Bourchier Tilney); died on 25 Aug 1554 in Kenninghall, Norfolk, England. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Norfolk, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of (1473-1554), English nobleman and court intriguer during the reign of Henry VIII. The eldest son of Thomas Howard, 2nd duke of Norfolk, he commanded the English vanguard at Flodden Field and was made earl when his father regained the family dukedom. On the death of his father he succeeded to the dukedom and became the most powerful peer in England. Norfolk led the party opposed to the policies of the lord chancellor, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He favored Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragón and his marriage to Anne Boleyn, who was Norfolk's niece. As Henry's pliant tool, however, he also presided at Anne's trial and execution in 1536. That same year he repressed the rebellion of the Pilgrimage of Grace, a protest against the confiscation of monastic properties, from which he profited handsomely. In 1540 Norfolk arrested Henry's secretary, Thomas Cromwell, earl of Essex, who had lost favor with the king. With the execution of his niece, Catherine Howard, Henry's fifth wife, in 1542, Norfolk lost his influence at court. When his son, the poet Henry Howard, earl of Surrey, was arrested for treason, Norfolk was charged with complicity; and was condemned and attainted with his son. His son was executed in 1547, but the subsequent death of the king prevented Norfolk's execution. He remained a prisoner until the accession of Mary I in 1553, when his lands and titles were restored. Thomas married Princess Anne Plantagenet on 04 Feb 1495. Princess was born in 1475; died on 23 Nov 1511. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
3. | Princess Anne Plantagenet was born in 1475; died on 23 Nov 1511. Notes: King Edward IV was "married" to Elizabeth Waite and had another wife in the time frame of 1473-1482, emcompassing the time of Anne's birth, 1475. Therefore, it is not known for sure which of the two women was Anne's mother. Anne was the 3rd daughter of King Edward IV.

8. | 1st Duke of Norfolk John Howard was born in 1420 in Tendring, Essex, England (son of Sir, Duke of Norfolk Robert Howard and Duchess of Norfolk Margaret Mowbray); died on 22 Aug 1485 in Battle of Bosworth Field, Leicestershire, England. Notes: Sir John was born about 1430. He was sent to Parliament in 1455 as a member of the County of Norfolk, and was knighted in 1461. Nine years later he was created a baron by Henry VI. He was treasurer of the royal household from 1467 to 1474, and went to France with Edward VI in 1475. After Edward's death, however, he supported Richard III, who created him Duke of Norfolk in 1483. The dukedom had been declared vacant since the death of his grandfather, Thomas Mowbray, 4th Lord Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham, and Duke of Norfolk in 1399. With the dukedom Sir John also received the title Earl Marshal of England, another honor held by his maternal grandfather. Sir John was killed at Bosworth while fighting for his king on August 22, 1485, and the title thus suffered attainder when Richard III was killed and the Tudor dynasty established. John married Lady Catherine Moleyns in 1442. Catherine was born about 1424 in of Stoke Pogis, Buckinghamshire, England; died in 1452. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
