Biography

Edmund Howard, Lord Howard of Flodden Field^[1]

Origin

Edmund was born c. 1483^[1] at Tisbury, Wiltshire, England.^{[citation needed]} He was a son of Thomas Howard and his 1st wife, Elizabeth Tilney. His father was the 2nd Duke of Norfolk.^[1]

He was the uncle of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, and the father of Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII.

Wikipedia includes interesting articles on Edmund Howard and his father, Thomas Howard, the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, as well as Catherine Howard.

It is uncertain how many times Edmund married, but his first marriage is not in dispute. All of his children were of his first (or only) marriage.
