Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lord Edmund Howard was born between 1472 and 1497 and died 19 March 1539. He was the third son of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and Elizabeth Tilney. He spent his youth hanging about the Court and in 1509 was listed as one of the nobles who organised the jousts for the joint coronation of Henry VIII of England and his new wife, Catherine of Aragon. Although his brother Edward was a close friend of the King''s and his brother Thomas became a dominating figure at court, Edmund seems not to have shared the King''s favour and seems to have been considered ineffectual. In 1531 his niece, Anne Boleyn, helped him find a position as Controller of Calais. Howard''s first marriage was to Jocasta Culpeper with whom he had about ten children, one of which was Catherine Howard, the fifth queen of Henry VIII of England. When his wife died in the late 1520s he went on to marry two other wives, both widows, by whom he was childless. He was dismissed from his post in Calais early in 1539 and died shortly afterwards, a year before his daughter became queen of England.
