• Notes

  Sir Robert Howard; commanded English Fleet in the Channel at the time of Agincourt Campaign 1415; born c1385; married c1420 Lady Margaret de Mowbray, elder daughter of 1st Duke of Norfolk of the 1397 creation by his 2nd wife Elizabeth Fitz Alan. [Burke's Peerage] ------------------------- Sir Robert Howard, KG, b. c 1383, d. 1436, of Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, son of Sir John Howard. [Magna Charta Sureties] Robert Howard, Knight, (1385— 1436), of Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk.[1] He was the eldest son of John Howard (c.1366-1437), of Wiggenhall and East Winch, Norfolk, by the latter's second wife, Alice Tendring.[2][3][note 1] Alice was also an heiress, although not to the same degree as John Howard's first wife, Lady Plaiz, who had brought him estates worth over £400 per annum.[6] They had two sons; Robert was the elder. His younger brother, Henry Howard, was to be later murdered by retainers of John, Baron Scrope of Masham after his parents and brother had died.[7] Robert Howard senior "naturally found no difficulty in securing marriages for his children and grandchild with important gentry families."[3] – The History of Parliament In 1420, Howard married Lady Margaret Mowbray,[3] whose father was Thomas de Mowbray, 4th Earl of Norfolk (d.1399); her cousin was Thomas's brother John, later Duke of Norfolk.[8] She outlived him, surviving until 1459.[9] Her sister, Isabel, had married James, later Baron Berkeley, which, it has been said, "forged a link between the Berkeleys and the Howards that continued for two centuries."[10][note 2] In the words of Anne Crawford, however, it was "a clearly unequal marriage."[4] It does appear, however, that they made the decision to marry for themselves as adults, rather than as was customary for the period, by arrangement as children.[11][12] There is little comprehensive knowledge available as to Howard's career. Early historians of the family made what have been called "somewhat grand claims" on his behalf: for example, that he commanded a fleet of 3,000 men out of Lowestoft to attack the French coast whilst Henry V was on campaign there. It is considered extremely doubtful that this actually ever occurred since such an undertaking would have certainly left its mark in official local or governmental records. It may well be that grandiose stories have been imagined around a simple truth; viz that Howard did indeed fight in France, but that he did so alongside his kinsman and regional magnate, John, second Duke of Norfolk, who indeed spent much of his career doing precisely that. Although Howard is not mentioned on any of the surviving lists of retainers Mowbray took with him, it is likely that Howard was a member of the duke's household. he had, after all, married Mowbray's sister. Further, in November 1428, as the duke sailed up the River Thames to Westminster, his barge rammed a pier under London Bridge; Mowbray lost several members of his household in this accident. Not only did the duke survive, but Mowbray is recorded as having been with him and surviving also.[13] Howard— and presumably his wife— probably lived with the duke at his caput of Framlingham Castle until Mowbray died in 1432. Howard's father outlived him, although only by a year; having set out for the Holy Land on crusade, he reached Jerusalem but died there on 17 November 1437. Robert Howard's mother had pre-deceased them both;[3] she left Robert her manor of Stoke by Nayland in her will. Howard and Margaret had had three children, John, Katherine, and Margaret.[14] John was to be a prominent retainer for the third duke of Norfolk,[15] and when civil war broke out less than twenty years later, he was to play a leading role as one of the House of York's firmest supporters. In 1483, when Richard III took the throne, he rewarded John Howard with the by now-extinct Mowbray dukedom of Norfolk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Howard_(knight)
