Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk KG PC (1443 – 21 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 only son of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, by his first wife, Katherine 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.

Early life
Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk, was born in 1443 at Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, the only surviving son of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, by his first wife, Katherine, the daughter of William Moleyns (d. 8 June 1425) and his wife Margery. He was educated at Thetford Grammar School.

Service under Edward IV
While a youth he entered the service of King Edward IV as a henchman. Howard took the King's side when war broke out in 1469 with the Earl of Warwick, and took sanctuary at Colchester when the King fled to Holland in 1470. Howard rejoined the royal forces at Edward's return to England in 1471, and was severely wounded at the Battle of Barnet on 14 April 1471. He was appointed an esquire of the body in 1473. On 14 January 1478 he was knighted by Edward IV at the marriage of the King's second son, the young Duke of York, and Lady Anne Mowbray (d.1483).

Service under Richard III
After the death of Edward IV on 9 April 1483, Thomas Howard and his father John supported Richard III's usurpation of the throne. Thomas bore the Sword of State at Richard's coronation, and served as steward at the coronation banquet. Both Thomas and his father were granted lands by the new King, and Thomas was also granted an annuity of £1000. On 28 June 1483, John Howard was created Duke of Norfolk, while Thomas was created Earl of Surrey. Surrey was also sworn of the Privy Council and invested with the Order of the Garter. In the autumn of that year Norfolk and Surrey suppressed a rebellion against the King by the Duke of Buckingham. Both Howards remained close to King Richard throughout his two-year reign, and fought for him at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, where Surrey was wounded and taken prisoner, and his father killed. Surrey was attainted in the first Parliament of the new King, Henry VII, stripped of his lands, and committed to the Tower of London, where he spent the next three years.

Service under Henry VII
Howard was offered an opportunity to escape during the rebellion of the Earl of Lincoln in 1487, but refused, perhaps thereby convincing Henry VII of his loyalty. In May 1489 Henry restored him to the earldom of Surrey, although most of his lands were withheld, and sent him to quell a rebellion in Yorkshire. Surrey remained in the north as the King's lieutenant until 1499. In 1499 he was recalled to court, and accompanied the King on a state visit to France in the following year. In 1501 he was again appointed a member of the Council, and on 16 June of that year was made Lord High Treasurer. Surrey, Bishop Richard Foxe, the Lord Privy Seal, and Archbishop William Warham, the Lord Chancellor, became the King's 'executive triumvirate'. He was entrusted with a number of diplomatic missions. In 1501 he was involved in the negotiations for Catherine of Aragon's marriage to Arthur, Prince of Wales, and in 1503 conducted Margaret Tudor to Scotland for her wedding to King James IV.

Service under Henry VIII
Surrey was an executor of the will of King Henry VII when the King died on 21 April 1509, and played a prominent role in the coronation of King Henry VIII, in which he served as Earl Marshal. He challenged Thomas Wolsey in an effort to become the new King's first minister, but eventually accepted Wolsey's supremacy. Surrey expected to lead the 1513 expedition to France, but was left behind when the King departed for Calais on 30 June 1513. Shortly thereafter James IV launched an invasion, and Surrey, with the aid of other noblemen and his sons Thomas and Edmund, crushed James's much larger force near Branxton, Northumberland, on 9 September 1513 at the Battle of Flodden. The Scots may have lost as many as 10,000 men, and King James was killed. The victory at Flodden brought Surrey great popular renown and royal rewards. On 1 February 1514 he was created Duke of Norfolk, and his son Thomas was made Earl of Surrey. Both were granted lands and annuities, and the Howard arms were augmented in honour of Flodden with an escutcheon bearing the lion of Scotland pierced through the mouth with an arrow.

Final years
In the final decade of his life, Norfolk continued his career as a courtier, diplomat and soldier. In 1514 he joined Wolsey and Foxe in negotiating the marriage of Mary Tudor to King Louis XII of France, and escorted her to France for the wedding. On 1 May 1517 he led a private army of 1300 retainers into London to suppress the Evil May Day riots. In May 1521 he presided as Lord High Steward over the trial of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. According to Head, 'he pronounced the sentence of death with tears streaming down his face'.

By the spring of 1522, Norfolk was almost 80 years of age and in failing health. He withdrew from court, resigned as Lord Treasurer in favour of his son in December of that year, and after attending the opening of Parliament in April 1523, retired to his ducal castle at Framlingham in Suffolk where he died on 21 May 1524. His funeral and burial on 22 June at Thetford Priory were said to have been 'spectacular and enormously expensive, costing over £1300 and including a procession of 400 hooded men bearing torches and an elaborate bier surmounted with 100 wax effigies and 700 candles', befitting the richest and most powerful peer in England. After the dissolution of Thetford Priory, the Howard tombs were moved to the Church of St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham. A now-lost monumental brass depicting the 2nd Duke was formerly in the Church of St. Mary at Lambeth.

Marriages and issue
On 30 April 1472 Howard married Elizabeth Tilney, the daughter of Sir Frederick Tilney of Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, and widow of Sir Humphrey Bourchier, slain at Barnet, son and heir apparent of Sir John Bourchier, 1st Baron Berners. They had issue:
1) Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk

10) Muriel Howard (d.1512), married firstly John Grey, Viscount Lisle (d.1504), and secondly Sir Thomas Knyvet

Thomas Howard, 2nd duke of Norfolk, (born 1443—died May 21, 1524, Framlingham, Suffolk, Eng.), noble prominent during the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII of England.

Son of the 1st Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Howard early shared his father’s fortunes; he fought at Barnet for Edward IV and was made steward of the royal household and created Earl of Surrey in 1483 (at the same time that his father was created duke). Taken prisoner at Bosworth Field while fighting for Richard III, he was attainted and remained in captivity until January 1489, when he was released and restored to his earldom of Surrey but not to the dukedom of Norfolk. He was then entrusted with the maintenance of order in Yorkshire and with the defense of the Scottish borders; he was made lord treasurer and a privy councillor in 1501, and he helped to arrange the marriage between Margaret, the daughter of Henry VII, and James IV of Scotland. Henry VIII, too, employed him on public business, but the earl grew jealous of Thomas Wolsey, and for a short time he absented himself from court. He commanded the army that defeated the Scots at Flodden in September 1513, and he was created Duke of Norfolk in February of the following year, with precedency as of the creation of 1483.

In his later years Norfolk worked more harmoniously with Wolsey. He was guardian of England during Henry’s absence in France in 1520, and he acted as lord high steward at the trial of his friend Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, in 1521.

Thomas married Tilney, Elizabeth on 30 Apr 1472 in Norwich, Norfolk, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Tilney, Sir Frederick and Cheney, Elizabeth) was born in 1445 in Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, England; died on 4 Apr 1497 in Thetford, Norfolk, England; was buried after 4 Apr 1497 in Thetford, Norfolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Thomas married Tilney, Lady Elizabeth Agnes on 8 Nov 1497 in England. Elizabeth (daughter of Tilney, Henry and Tailboys, Eleanor) was born in 1477 in Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, England; died in May 1545 in London, London, England; was buried on 31 May 1545 in Thetford Abbey, Thetford, Norfolk, England.

Thomas Cole
Birth: 1494 Devon, England
Death: Apr., 1571 Greater London, England
Thomas Cole was born at "The Slade". the ancestral home of a long line of Coles. He was the second son of John Cole and Mary Archdeacon, therefore, according to the law of progeniture, he was not to inherit his father's estates. He went to London and became a wealthy grocer living in the Parish of All Hallows on Honey Lane. Honey Lane was just off Cheapside in London, one of the main thoroughfares with markets held in the middle of the road. The great processions passed through Cheapside and Monarchs rode through from the Tower to be crowned at Westminster. The inhabitants of Honey Lane had a front-row seat to English history.
He married Elizabeth Hargrave, daughter of Thomas Hargrave, "citizen and haberdasher" of London. It is very likely that he served an apprenticeship under Thomas Hargrave before opening his own "grocer" which inventoried a variety of items other than just food.
His children were: William James b. May 1540, who married Annes Colles (Cole) daughter of Michael Colles (Cole); Elizabeth died young, Martha b. Aug 1541. who married John Warsop of Clapham in Surrey; Thomas b. Dec 1543,who became a priest and died unmarried; Emanuel b. 1545 and married Margaret Ingram, daughter of Hugh Ingram of London. (Their son, William Cole, settled in Ireland and became immediate ancestor of distinguished descendants in Ireland, the Earls of Enniskillen;) John b. Jun 1545; Solomon b.

Notes

profile changed on 18 Aug 2012 from:
Sir William James Cole 1/15/1520 Enniskillen, County Sligo, Connacht, Ireland

As it does not seem possible for a child of these parents to have been born in 1520. The more "traditional" (LDS) birth date of About 1541 in London has been reverted to.

Internet discussion below.

Was Governor of Enniskillen...from book, "Recollections of Olden Times" about Swansea, Bristol, RI

COLE Henry Cole, of Britain, surnamed by some the "Hawksfaced," began to reign over that portion of the territory known as Essex in the present day, and also Hertfordshire, in the year 238, and added to his dominion shortly afterward the principality of North Essex, by his marriage to Seradwin, its heiress, a princess of the Eadda, whence in still later times came the pendragon kings of Uther's royal race, among whom was King Arthur of the Round Table. The Coles owned land in Essex, Wiltshire, Devonshire and Derbyshire under Edward the Conqueror. He was a great lover of flowers and plants, and married the daughter of de Lobel, from whom the plant Lobelia is named, the celebrated botanist and physician of James I. The Cole family owned lands on the ridge of hills called Highgate, near the Kingston line. (History of Plymouth). [Much of this later history is in dispute, and the marriage to Mary L'Obel has been largely disproven.]

Another discussion from the Cole Genealogy forum:

"Try, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland---the Cole's founded and still own most of the land in this town today--I have found references to the Cole's as a far back as 600 in Ireland. Family word says they originated there. They were in England for a while and also in Wales."

"And again, "family word" this many years down the pike is extremely unreliable. Besides, history tells us that the family was English and sent to Ireland with orders to establish a barony and "control the Irish." Which they did, but not admirably so."

"William Cole founded Eniskillen Ireland and successfully fought the English attack in defense of the city. So far all of my family words and bible records are accurate. Just have not gone that far back.

The story is that they pledged allegiance to England to save their land and some went to England and Wales for about 200 years. They then were sent back to Ireland to their lands, but all did not defend the English---many took the side of the Irish---Colbhain--I think the spelling is incorrect here--is the name that the family is said to descend from. So, basically the period before the records start in England they were indeed Irish."

"It is doubtful that James was of this family. But while it is still possible, one must consider that James was never mentioned as a member of the peerage. (Although he apparently had some wealth.)"

I have looked into those very locations, and although there is considerable Cole history there, I have not been able to confirm that James Cole born about

1600 and located in Barnstaple, Devon, England in the early 1620's has any link to them. That is the crucial piece that is missing.

"If someone can DOCUMENT James' father, then I may be able to pursue the Irish lineage...I have heard much in the way of speculation, but so far no one is willing/able to show me proof of his parentage..."

"To Timothy, My family line is from William Cole. His son James was born in 1600 Barnstaple, Devonshire, England.As to other information you said that he was not the Earl of Enniskillen. Sorry but you are wrong on this. He was the Earl of Enniskillen, Sligo, Ireland. He was also the baron of Grinstead. He also built the florance court house . This is my direct line. And I do have confirmation. And yes [there] were Coles in Ireland. Their were also located in Kildare

area. If you want some more information don't hesitate to email me at nikolbravewolf@aol.com."

"Nikol, I would like some more information about James Cole of your line. From what little I know of England and Ireland during that period of time, I suspect you are correct. The English kings were trying to rid Ireland of all native peoples in order to give their land to the king's favorites (meaning those to whom he owed something in return for favors rendered to him such as fighting his battles).

And I have read a little about The Great Migration (I have not seen a copy) and I have read on this forum I think it was about the seemingly favored position of James Cole in Plymouth. For example if he were one of the religous people in the community, why would he have been allowed to serve ale at his establishment? He seems to have been some kind of representative of the merchant class that financed the people to Plymouth colony. Yes, I hope you can give us more information from your records. Thanks. Wanda Cole"
