Notes about Mary FitzAlan

Thomas Howard's first wife was Mary FitzAlan, heiress to the Arundel Estates after the death of her father Henry FitzAlan, 19th Earl of Arundel. She died after a year of marriage having given birth to Philip Howard, 20th Earl of Arundel. It is from this marriage that the present Duke of Norfolk takes his name of 'FitzAlan-Howard' and why his seat is in Arundel. Though her funeral effigy is there, Mary FitzAlan was never buried at Framlingham, but at the church of St. Clement Without, Temple Bar and then (under the direction of her grandson's will) at Arundel.
