Henry Howard, 22nd Earl of Arundel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Frederick Howard, 22nd Earl of Arundel, PC (15 August 1608 – 17 April 1652) was an English noble and the second son of Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel and Lady Alethea Talbot, later 13th Baroness Furnivall. After his fathers death in 1646 he became Earl of Arundel and the titular head of the Howard family.

Before ascending to the peerage, Lord Arundel had served as Member of Parliament for Arundel in the Parliament of England from 1628 until 1629, and again in 1640. He also represented Callan in the Parliament of Ireland in 1634. He had been due to inherit his mothers peerage (Baron Furnivall), but he pre-deceased her and upon her death in 1654 it was inherited by his eldest son Thomas.

On 7 March 1625/26 he married Lady Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of Esme Stuart, 3rd Duke of Lennox, and with her had five sons:

• Thomas Howard, 5th Duke of Norfolk (1626/27-1677), died without issue
• Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk (1628-1683/84), had issue; Ancestor of 7th through 9th Dukes of Norfolk
• Lord Philip Howard (1632-1694), Catholic Cardinal, presumably no issue
• Lord Charles Howard (bef. 1641 - 1713), had issue; Ancestor of 10th and 11th Dukes of Norfolk
• Lord Bernard Howard (bef. 1641 - 1717), had issue; Ancestor of 12th to 18th (and present) Dukes of Norfolk
