British peer and public servant (b. July 21, 1915, London, Eng.—d. June 24, 2002, Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, Eng.), inherited (1975) the oldest dukedom in Britain (created by King Richard II in 1397) and with it the ceremonial role of hereditary Earl Marshall of England. As the Hon. Miles Fitzalan-Howard, he had a distinguished military career and won a Military Cross during World War II.; he retired as a major general in 1967. He succeeded his mother, who held an ancient peerage in her own right, to become 12th Baron Beaumont in 1971 and then succeeded his father as 4th Baron Howard of Glossop in 1972 before succeeding to the dukedom and several other titles, including Earl of Arundel, Surrey and Norfolk, on the death of a distant cousin. He was an outspoken Roman Catholic member of the House of Lords. When the Lords was reformed in 1999, Norfolk was one of only two hereditary peers to retain his seat without having to seek election. In 2000 he relinquished the position of Earl Marshall to his son, Edward, who succeeded to the dukedom on his death.
