Henry Howard, 13th Earl of Suffolk

Last updated • 1 min readFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Henry Howard, 13th Earl of Suffolk, 6th Earl of Berkshire (8 August 1779 – 10 August 1779) [1] was a British peer, the son of Henry Howard, 12th Earl of Suffolk.

His father died on 7 March 1779, leaving behind his pregnant widow. The Earldom of Suffolk became dormant until she gave birth (as a daughter would not inherit the earldom, but a son would). Henry, therefore, became Earl of Suffolk upon his birth, but only survived for two days. He was buried on 23 August 1779 at Charlton and was succeeded by his great-uncle Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Suffolk.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Earl of Arundel</span> Oldest extant English peerage

Earl of Arundel is a title of nobility in England, and one of the oldest extant in the English peerage. It is currently held by the Duke of Norfolk, and is used by his heir apparent as a courtesy title. The earldom was created in 1138 or 1139 for the French baron William d'Aubigny. Its origin was the earlier grant by Henry I to his second wife, Adeliza of Louvain, of the forfeited honour of Arundel, which included the castle and a large portion of Sussex. After his death she married William, who thus became master of the lands, and who from about the year 1141 is variously styled earl of Sussex, of Chichester, or of Arundel. His first known appearance as earl is at Christmas 1141. Until the mid-13th century, the earls were also frequently known as Earl of Sussex, until this title fell into disuse. At about the same time, the earldom fell to the originally Breton FitzAlan family, a younger branch of which went on to become the Stuart family, which later ruled Scotland and England.
