'''Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk''' ([[1443]] – [[21 May]] [[1524]]) was an [[England|English]] soldier and statesman, and son of [[John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk]] by his first wife Catherine de Moleyns the daughter of William de Moylens and Margery Whalesborough.
==Life==
Howard went to [[Ipswich School]] in his youth. As the [[Earl of Surrey]], Howard fought for [[Richard III of England|King Richard III]] at the [[Battle of Bosworth Field]] in [[1485]], following which he was imprisoned for several years before having his titles and estates restored. He continued in the service of the [[Tudor dynasty]]. Beginning in 1497, Howard and the English repelled Scots assaults at [[Norham Castle]], a stronghold of the Bishopric of [[Durham]], among others. In 1502, a [[Treaty of Perpetual Peace (1502)|treaty]] was signed between Scotland and England ending hostilities for a time, and Howard was able to rest from his military career for a while. He was appointed Lieutenant General of the North.
In 1511, Lord Surrey was appointed Warden-General of the Northern Marches. In 1513, the Scots invaded England to meet their treaty obligations to France under the [[Auld Alliance]]. At the [[Battle of Flodden Field]], the English, under Howard's command, crushed the Scots. With victory, Lord Surrey was restored as [[Duke of Norfolk]] in [[1514]], which title had been forfeit since [[1485]] because of his father's support of Richard.
===Burial ___location===
He died in 1524 and was buried in [[Thetford|Thetford Priory]]. The priory was abandoned at the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]] and while some of the Howard family tombs were moved to the [[St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham]] it is not known whether his tomb was moved also. Fragments of what is thought to be from his tomb were found during excavations.
Where his body now lies is not known for certain. A monumental brass depicting him was formerly in the [[Museum of Garden History|Church of St. Mary at Lambeth]] so his body could have been moved to the Howard family chapel where many members of his family (including [[Anne Boleyn]]'s mother) were interred.
However it is known that there are also four coffins in the tomb of the [[Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk|3rd Duke of Norfolk]] at [[St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham]] so possibly the 2nd Duke and the 1st Duke of Norfolk were buried in the tomb of their descendant.
