The current Earl of Suffolk has the following subsidiary titles: Earl of Berkshire (created 1626), Viscount Andover (1622) and Baron Howard of Charlton (1622), all in the Peerage of England. In 1689 the barony of Howard of Walden (created 1597, peerage of England) passed out of the Howard family. For more information use the link.
A certain holder of land in Suffolk, named John de Peyton, had a younger son Robert, who acquired the lordship of Ufford in that county and was known as Robert de Ufford.
The duke's SOD, John, 2nd duke of Suffolk (1442-1491), married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard, duke of York, and sister of King Edward IV., by whom he had six sons.
Suffolk took part in the jousts which celebrated the marriage of Mary Tudor, Henry's sister, with Louis XII of France.
Suffolk was only saved from Henry's anger by Wolsey, and the pair eventually agreed to pay to Henry £24,000 in yearly instalments of £1000, and the whole of Mary's dowry from Louis of £200,000, together with her plate and jewels.
Suffolk was entirely in favour of Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon, and in spite of his obligations to Wolsey he did not scruple to attack him when his fall was imminent.
