Thomas Howard Fourth Duke of Norfolk

Thomas Howard: Fourth Duke of Norfolkby Neville WilliamsE. P. Dutton & Co., New York, 1965First American Edition

An engaging political biography of Thomas Howard, Fourth Duke of Norfolk, one of the most powerful—and ultimately tragic—figures of Elizabethan England.

Originally published in Britain in 1964 by Barrie and Rockliff, this is the first American edition, published by E. P. Dutton in 1965. Howard's political ambitions, association with Mary, Queen of Scots, and involvement in plots against Elizabeth I eventually led to his execution for treason in 1572.

Williams places Howard's life within the intrigue and instability of the Tudor court, making this an appealing volume for collectors and readers interested in Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, Tudor England, British nobility, and Renaissance political history.
