    [Vol. 2, Tree #0658]

    Thomas was created Earl of Surrey by Edward IV in 1483. At the decisive Battle of Botsworth he was taken prisioner by the Lancastrians and held captive until 1489. On his release Henry VII restored his Earldom but not the Dukedom of his father. Thomas commanded the army which defeated the Scots at Flodden in 1513 and within a few months, February 1514, was created 2nd Duke of Norfolk.
    Thomas was married twice and had many children by both wives. He became the grandfather of two queens - Anne Boyleyn and Catherine Howard- both wives of Henry VIII. His first wife was Elizabeth Tilney, daughter of Sir Frederick Tilney of Ashwell Thorpe. Among their six children were Thomas, Earl of Surrey and 3rd Duke of Norfolk; Sir Edward Howard, Lord High Admiral; Lord Edmund Howard; and Elizabeth who married Sir Thomas Boleyn and had Anne, the mother of Queen Elizabeth. His second wife was Agnes Tilney, a kinswoman of his first wife and daughter of Hugh Tilney.

    _________________
    Norfolk, Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of (1443-1524), English military commander and courtier, the only son of John Howard, 1st duke of Norfolk. He was created earl of Surrey in 1483 when his father was made duke of Norfolk. At the Battle of Bosworth Field, where his father was killed, he was wounded and taken prisoner. As he had fought on the losing side, his titles were attainted and he was imprisoned until 1489. On his release his earldom was restored; he was placed in command of the defense of the Scottish border and soon recognized as the chief general in England. In 1513 he led the forces that defeated the invading Scots at Flodden Field, and in the following year he became duke of Norfolk. When King Henry VIII went to the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, Norfolk was left to guard the kingdom. The following year he presided at the trial for treason of his friend Edward Stafford, 3rd duke of Buckingham, on whom he passed a sentence of death. He retired in 1523.

    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 Howard, 1st Duke of, also known as Jack of Norfolk (circa 1430-85), English nobleman and military commander, who took part, on the Yorkist side, in the Wars of the Roses. He was knighted by King Edward IV shortly after his accession in 1461, and although he was created a baron by the Lancastrian Henry VI on his restoration in 1470, Howard did not abandon the Yorkist cause; he fought in France for King Edward in 1475. Upon Edward's death in 1483, however, he supported Edward's younger brother, Richard, duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III, who usurped the throne from Edward's son. Richard III made Howard duke of Norfolk and earl marshal of England in 1483. He was killed with Richard in the battle at Bosworth. See Bosworth Field, Battle of.
