Biography

Henry Brandon (18 Sep 1535 – 14 Jul 1551), styled Lord Henry Brandon before 1545, was the son of the 1st Duke of Suffolk by his fourth wife, Baroness Willoughby de Eresby.

Henry became the 2nd Duke of Suffolk on 22 August 1545. He and his younger brother were both minors and continued their education by going up to St John's College, Cambridge. During an epidemic of the sweating sickness, the two died. First Suffolk. Then his younger brother ... an hour later. They died at the Bishop of Lincoln's Palace in the village of Buckden, near Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, where they had fled in an attempt to escape the epidemic.

A solemn celebration of the funerals of the two Dukes, called a 'Month's Mind', was held 22 Sep 1551 with all the funeral equipment in duplicate. The humanist intellectuals Thomas Wilson and Walter Haddon wrote a life of Suffolk and his younger brother shortly after their death.
