• Howard, Thomas 15th Century

Born 1473; died 1554. Third duke of Norfolk. Uncle of Anne Boleyn. A tool of Henry VIII, he acquired rich monastic loot, and was created earl-marshal in 1533. He persecuted the Catholics, and his career as a military leader was marked with devastation. Accused of treason in 1544, his life was saved by Henry VIII's timely death, but he remained in prison till Mary's accession.
