Question: William Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Effingham, served the first monarch to be raised in what faith?
Context: Baron Howard de Walden is a title in the Peerage of England.  It was created by writ of summons in 1597, by Queen Elizabeth I for Admiral Lord Thomas Howard, a younger son of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, by his second wife, the Honourable Margaret Audley, daughter of Thomas Audley, 1st Baron Audley of Walden.  The title was reportedly granted for the Admiral's role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588.  The baron eventually went on to obtain the title of Earl of Suffolk from Elizabeth I's successor King James I, which latter title continues in his male-line descendants.  The barony Howard de Walden however eventually passed out of the Howard family with the death of James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk in 1688, and came briefly to the 4th Earl of Bristol before passing to his great-grandson, the four-year-old Charles Augustus Ellis in 1803. Baron Revelstoke, of Membland in the County of Devon, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.  It was created in 1885 for the businessman Edward Baring, head of the family firm of Barings Bank and a member of the Baring family.  Baring was the son of Henry Baring, third son of Sir Francis Baring, 1st Baronet, and the nephew of Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton, the second cousin of Francis Baring, 1st Baron Northbrook, the elder brother of Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer and the uncle of Evelyn Baring, 1st Baron Howick of Glendale.  He was succeeded by his second but eldest surviving son John, the second Baron.  John was a partner in Baring Brothers and Co. Ltd, a Director of the Bank of England, and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Middlesex.  On his death the title passed to his younger brother Cecil, the third Baron.  He acquired Lambay Island, north of Dublin, in 1904.  s of 2013 the title is held by his great-grandson, the seventh Baron, who succeeded his father in 2012.  As a descendant of Sir Francis Baring, 1st Baronet, he is also in remainder to the Baring Baronetcy of Larkbeer, a title held by his kinsman the Baron Northbrook. Hubert John Edward Dominic Howard (b. Washington, D.C., USA, 23 Dec 1907; d. 17 Feb 1987), was educated at Downside School and at Cambridge University.  He was the third of five sons of the diplomat Sir Esme William Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Penrith, by his wife Lady Isabella Giovanna Teresa Gioachina Giustiniani-Bandini. Baron Braybrooke, of Braybrooke in the County of Northampton, is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain.  It was created in 1788 for John Griffin, 4th Baron Howard de Walden, with remainder to his kinsman Richard Neville-Aldworth.  Lord Howard de Walden was the son of William Whitwell and Anne Griffin, daughter of James Griffin, 2nd Baron Griffin of Braybrooke, who was the son of Edward Griffin, 1st Baron Griffin of Braybrooke, and his wife Lady Essex Howard, eldest daughter of James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk and 3rd Baron Howard de Walden.  In 1749 Whitwell assumed the surname of Griffin, and the same year he was elected to Parliament for Andover, a seat he held until 1784.  The latter year the barony of Howard de Walden, which had been in abeyance since the death of his great-great-grandfather the third Earl of Suffolk in 1689, was called out of abeyance in favour of him, and he was summoned to the House of Lords as the fourth Baron Howard de Walden.  Moreover, the barony of Griffin of Braybrooke held by his maternal ancestors had become extinct on the death of his uncle, the third Baron, in 1743.  In 1788 the Braybrooke title was revived when Griffin was created Baron Braybrooke. Earl of Berkshire is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of England.  It was created for the first time in 1621 for Francis Norris, 1st Earl of Berkshire.  For more information on this creation (which became extinct on his death in 1622), see the Earl of Abingdon and also the Earl of Lindsey.  The second creation came in 1626 in favour of Thomas Howard, 1st Viscount Andover.  He was the second son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, second son of the second marriage of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk.  His mother was Katherine, daughter of Sir Henry Knyvett of Charlton in Wiltshire.  Howard had already been created Baron Howard of Charlton, in the County of Wiltshire, and Viscount Andover, in the County of Southampton, in 1622.  These titles are also in the Peerage of England.  Lord Berkshire succeeded to the Charlton estate through his mother in 1638.  He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl.  He had already in 1640 been summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in his father's junior title of Baron Howard of Charlton.  He had no sons and on his death in 1679 the titles passed to his younger brother, the third Earl.  He represented Wallingford in the House of Commons.  He also died without male issue and was succeeded by his great-nephew, the fourth Earl.  He was the grandson of the Hon. William Howard, fourth son of the first Earl.  In 1745 he succeeded his third cousin as eleventh Earl of Suffolk.  For further history of the titles, see the Earl of Suffolk.
