Notes

All titled Howards are descendants of this Thomas. He achieved the title of Sherriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1476. He was named Knight of the Bath in 1478 and became MP for Norfolk in that same year. On the same day that his father wed Duke of Norfolk on Jun. 28, 1483, Thomas received the title of Earl of Surrey, a Knight of the Garter, and a member of the Privy Council. While participating in the Battle of Bosworth, he was wounded and taken prisoner afterwhich he spent 3 years in the Tower. When he was released, his wife's lands and his earldom were returned. As he gained King Henry VII's trust, all of his titles and possessions continued to be returned. In 1513, under his command, the Scottish borders were secured by the defeat of the Scots at Flodden. This added the crown of Scotland to his crest. He became known as "The victorious Surrey of Flodden Field." Surrey is an honorary battle title of similar meaning to Earl. (C-862) In 1514, he was named the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. He was the grandfather of two of Henry VIII's wive's, Queens Anne Bolyne and Catherine Howard.
