Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk (144321 May 1524), styled Earl of Surrey from 1483 to 1485 and again from 1489 to 1514, was an English nobleman and politician.
He was the eldest son of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, by his first wife, Catharina de Moleyns.
The Duke was the grandfather of both Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine Howard and the great grandfather of Queen Elizabeth I.
He served four monarchs as a soldier and statesman.

John Sheffield, 2nd Baron Sheffield
John Sheffield, 2nd Baron Sheffield, of Butterwick( c. 1538 – 10 December 1568) was the first son of Edmund Sheffield, 1st Baron Sheffield, and Lady Anne de Vere.
He married Douglas Howard, daughter of William Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Effingham, and Margaret Gamage.
They had two children:
William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Escrick
William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Escrick( c. 1626–1694) was an English Parliamentarian soldier, nobleman, and plotter.
William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Effingham
William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Effingham (27 December 1577 – 28 November 1615) was an English nobleman, the eldest son of Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham (who as Lord Howard of Effingham famously led the English fleet against the Spanish Armada) and Catherine Carey, Lady of the chamber to Queen Elizabeth who died 25 Feb 1603 at Arundel House, Strand, Middlesex, ENG.
As Sir William Howard, he was elected Member of Parliament for Surrey in 1597.
However, two days before the Parliament met his father was raised to an Earldom.
This meant that, as his heir, William acquired the courtesy title Lord Howard of Effingham.
It seems that all concerned mistakenly believed that this disqualified him from sitting in the House of Commons, and his younger brother, Charles, was elected to replace him and sat for Surrey throughout the Parliament.
However, the same mistake was not made at the next election and William represented Surrey in the Parliament of 1601.
In 1603, he was summoned to the House of Lords in his father's barony by a writ of acceleration, and sat as a peer until his death.
However, he died before his father, without male issue.
Both the Earldom and barony were therefore eventually inherited by his younger brother, and William is not considered by some sources to have succeeded as 3rd Baron Howard of Effingham.
Howard married Ann St John, daughter of John St John, 2nd Baron St John of Bletso, on 7 February 1597: they had one daughter, Elizabeth (1603–1671), who married John Mordaunt, 1st Earl of Peterborough.
He died in 1615, aged only 37, at Hampton in Middlesex.
Edward Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick
Edward Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick( died 24 April 1675) was an English nobleman and Parliamentarian.
Howard was the youngest son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk.
He was knighted KB.
In 1624 he was elected Member of Parliament for Calne and for Wallingford and chose to sit for Calne.
He was elected MP for Hertford in 1628 but created Baron Howard of Escrick on 12 April 1628.
Howard was one of the twelve peers who signed the petition on grievances, which he presented to Charles I at York in 1640.
He was very active in the early parts of the English Civil War.
He was one of the ten Lords selected to attend the Westminster Assembly of Divines along with 20 Commoners as lay assessor, and was often employed in negotiations with Scottish officials.
However, he was left off the Committee of Both Kingdoms and generally seems to play less of a role in the coming years.
After the abolition of the House of Lords in 1649 he sat in the Commons as member for Carlisle, being also a member of the council of state.
In 1651 he was expelled from parliament for taking bribes.
Howard married Mary Butler, daughter of John Boteler and Elizabeth Villiers, and had two sons, Thomas, 2nd Baron Howard of Escrick, who married Elizabeth Mordaunt, daughter of John Mordaunt, 1st Earl of Peterborough, and William Howard, 3rd Baron Howard of Escrick, notorious both as a rebel and as an informer and double agent.
