born Feb. 25, 1540, Shottesham, Norfolk, Eng.

English noble noted for his intrigues in the reigns of
Elizabeth I and
James I.
Younger brother of the 4th duke of
Norfolk, he was implicated in efforts to free
Mary, Queen of Scots. He successfully sought favour with the Scottish king James VI, who, on his accession as James I of England, made Howard a privy councillor (1603) and earl of Northampton (1604). As a judge at the trials of
Walter Raleigh (1603) and
Guy Fawkes (1605), he pressed for conviction.
