[Complete Peerage IX:782-7, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(g) Although the Queen apparently contemplated conferring the Earldom of Nottingham on him in Jan 1588/9, neither he nor, it would seem, any other person received peerage honours at the time in recognition of the great victory. After the defeat of the Armada he complained bitterly to Burghley, Walsingham, and to the Queen herself, that the crews were ravaged by disease brought on by putrid rations; that they were unpaid and there was no money to relieve them. "It is pitiful to have men starve after such a service."

(i) At a private audience he represented to the Queen the ever present danger to her person at a time when Queen Mary's escape was rumoured daily; she resolved thereupon to delay no longer and signed the warrant for execution 1 Feb 1586/7.

(f) The Earl of Essex, taking offense at the credit given--in the preamble of the patents--to Lord Howard for the defeat of the Armada and the taking of Cadiz, "moved for a commission of inquiry and issued a challenge to Howard or one of his sons." The Queen, in a revulsion of feeling, created Essex Earl Marshal.

(f2) His retinue, said to have numbered about 500, included his two sons, William, Lord Howard, and Sir Charles Howard.

(i2) On surrendering this office, he was to receive an annuity of 1,000 pounds, and a gift of 3,000 pounds from the Duke of Buckingham. The Duke, on his appointment the following day, allowed the Navy Commissioners to continue their reforms, whereby 10 new ships were constructed by 1623 for a total annual naval expenditure of 30,000 pounds as against 53,000 pounds previously.
