Second child but first son of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey , and his wife, Frances Vere. The blow of Surrey 's attainder and execution was hardest for Thomas, who was at once separated from his brother, , and his sisters, Jane, Margaret and Catherine. They were taken from their mother's care and placed under the nominal guardianship of Lord Wentworth , though in fact their inmediate custodian was Thomas Gawdy, an old friend of the family. But Thomas Howard was placed with Sir John Williams , Treasurer of the Court of Argumentations. His keeper was kept by busines in London most of the time, while the boy lived quietly at Rycote, the same where Princess Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> spend a similar period of confinement during Mary <../aboutMary.htm>'s reign. After a difficult year the children were reunited, for the Privy Council decided to place them under the guardianship of their aunt, the Duchess of Richmond, at Reigate Castle. They were joined there by Charles Howard , their cousin, two years older than Thomas, son of Lord William Howard of Effingham . Probably on Lord Wentworth 's advice, the Duchess engaged John Foxe as tutor of her charges. Edward VI <../aboutEdward.htm> knew 'no better place for their virtuous education' than with their aunt. At Christmas 1551 the Duchess of Richmond was granted an annuity of £100 towards their maintenance, and the next year was given a further £100. When Edward <../aboutEdward.htm> died and Mary <../aboutMary.htm> came to the throne, the Howard fortunes changed. When the Queen <../aboutMary.htm> rode to London to take up her residence in the Tower until coronation day, the Duchess of Norfolk came with her. Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk <../Bios/ThomasHoward(3DNorfolk).htm> was released from his confinement and the Council restored him to the Order of the Garter at their meeting on 10 Aug. Young Thomas soon joined the Duke <../Bios/ThomasHoward(3DNorfolk).htm> in London and at the end of the month the Countess of Surrey was ordered by the Council to have the rest of her children brought from Reigate Castle to Mountjoy Place. Thomas was made Knight of the Bath on Michaelmas Day, the youngest of those created. Next day he rode with his fellows through the city, escorting the Queen <../aboutMary.htm> to Westminster Abbey for her coronation. After the Coronation the old Duke <../Bios/ThomasHoward(3DNorfolk).htm> decided that his grandosns must be taken in hand, and that the heretic education they had been imbibing for five years must be eradicated. For the moment, Thomas Howard joined the household of Stephen Gardiner <../Bios/StephenGardiner.htm> as a page. Later, joined with his brother , continued his instruction in the London house of John White, a priest as unbending in his devotion to papal principles as Bonner or Gardiner <../Bios/StephenGardiner.htm>, and who later become Bishop of Lincoln (Mar 1554) and succeeded Gardiner <../Bios/StephenGardiner.htm> in the see of Winchester (1556). After a short stay in White's household, Thomas Howard was appointed as one of the seven gentlemen of the Chamber of King Felipe <../aboutFelipeII.htm>. The earldom of Surrey had been restored to him, and as heir of a dukedom he was senior in rank. He succeeded his grandfather in 1554. He was favored by Elizabeth I <../aboutElizabeth.htm> although he was jealous of the larger measure of confidence she placed in Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester . Howard commanded the English forces that intervened in Scotland in 1559–60 and in 1568 was chief of the commission that inquired into Scottish affairs after the flight of Mary, Queen of Scots to England. A widower, he conducted secret negotiations for 's hand. Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> heard of the project, however, and forbade it, and Norfolk was imprisoned (1569–70). On his release Howard was drawn into the plot of Ridolfi, agent of Felipe II of Spain <../aboutFelipeII.htm>, who was planning a Spanish invasion and the dethronement of Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm>. The plot was discovered, Norfolk was imprisoned (1571) in the Tower of London, tried, and beheaded. was forced to abdicate her Throne in favor of her son James VI, who later inherited the English Throne from Elizabeth I <../aboutElizabeth.htm> and became James I combining Scotland and England. had a claim to the Throne of England through her grandmother, King Henry VIII <../aboutHenryVIII.htm>'s sister, . Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> always took as a serious threat, so when fled Scotland for England, Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> had her detained. She kept her detained for over 20 years. Finally, Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> had tried on charges of taking part in the plot that killed Henry, Lord Darnley <../Bios/HenryStuart(BDarnley).htm>, father of James VI, and with plotting the assasination of Elizabeth <../aboutElizabeth.htm> herself. She was executed. Attaching one's wagon to that star was foolish, to say the least.

  The tomb of Mary Fitzalan and Margaret Audley has a fine display of heraldic quarterings and the two effigies are shown in their robes of state. They rest their heads and feet on emblems connected with their Houses. It would seem that at some former period there were columns which supported a canopy over the tomb which must have rendered it highly magnificent. There is a large space between the effigies and it has been suggested that this was reserved for Norfolk's third wife or himself, or even Mary Queen of Scots . Thomas Howard first married Mary FitzAlan, heiress after her father's death to the Arundel Estates (west Sussex). She died after a year of marriage having given birth to Phillip, Earl of Arundel <../Bios/PhillipHoward(1EArundel).htm> (who was canonised in 1970 for refusing to renounce his Catholicism under Elizabeth I <../aboutElizabeth.htm>). It is from this marriage that the present Duke of Norfolk takes his name of 'FitzAlan-Howard' and why his seat is in Arundel. Mary FitzAlan was never buried at Framlingham, but first at the church of St. Clements Without, Temple Bar, and then under the direction of her grandson's will, at Arundel. Norfolk's second marriage was to another heiress, Margaret daughter of Thomas Lord Audley of Walden <../Bios/ThomasAudley(1BAudley).htm> (north Yorkshire?) She also died young and was buried at St. John the Baptist's church at Norwich. Whether, and if so, when her remains were reinterred at Framlingham is uncertain. In 1842 this vault was opened and found to be empty but for a skull and some ashes. Tradition has it that the inhabitants of the town hid some of their valuables in the tomb during the rebellion of 1745 and swept it clean. It thus remains a mystery as to what the contents were. It would seem more probable that Margaret's body would have been reburied at Arundel in preference to Framlingham by this time. Margaret's children by her marriage to Norfolk were two boys and two girls. Norfolk's third wife Elizabeth play's no part in the story of St. Michael's. She was a widow when she married him, her late husband being Thomas, 4th Lord Dacre of Gillesland. Norfolk made remarkable marriage plans whereby Elizabeths three daughters by Dacre became the wives of the sons of his own first two marriages. Thus Anne Dacre married Phillip Earl of Arundel <../Bios/PhillipHoward(1EArundel).htm>; Mary Dacre married who was created Earl of Suffolk (his descendants bear the title today) and Elizabeth Dacre married William Howard whose descendant was the ancestor of the present Earl of Carlisle.

======================================

royal_lineage.ged

     English nobleman executed for his intrigues against Queen Elizabeth
I on behalf of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, a Roman Catholic claimant to the English throne.  He was the son of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, who was put to death for alleged treasonable activities in 1547. Restored to his father's title on the accession of Queen Mary Tudor in 1553, he succeeded his grandfather as Duke of Norfolk in 1554.  Norfolk was in favour with both Queen Mary and her successor, Elizabeth I. He commanded the English forces that invaded Scotland in 1559-60, and he presided over the commission that inquired in 1568 into the quarrel between Mary Stuart and Scotland's Protestant nobility.  Mary had just fled to England, where she became Elizabeth's prisoner. ; Norfolk listened readily to suggestions from the Scottish statesman William Maitland and others that the difficulties between England and Scotland could be resolved if Norfolk would wed Mary and have her declared Elizabeth's successor. Norfolk, however, was neither bold enough to ask Elizabeth's consent for the match nor disloyal enough to raise an insurrection against her. Instead, several Roman Catholic nobles in northern England revolted in an attempt to free the Queen of Scots, marry her to Norfolk, and restore Roman Catholicism to England. The uprising was suppressed, and in October 1569 Elizabeth had Norfolk arrested. He was released the following August, but he soon allowed himself to be drawn into the plot of Roberto Ridolfi, an Italian merchant living in London, for a Spanish invasion of England and installation of Mary on the English throne. Discovery of the plot led to Norfolk's imprisonment and execution.
