_Elizabeth Howard

ELIZABETH HOWARD (1476-April 3, 1538) Elizabeth Howard was the daughter of Thomas Howard, 2nd duke of Norfolk (1443-May 21, 1524) and Elizabeth Tylney (d. April 4, 1497). "To My Lady Elizabeth Howard" in "The Garland of Laurell" was probably composed by John Skelton in May 1495 during a visit to her father at Sheriff Hutton Castle, although it was not published until 1523. In this poem, he compares her to Cressida, as Alison Weir observes, possibly for her beauty but possibly for her promiscuity, and to Irene, for her artistic ability. The ladies Skelton honored in verse supposedly made him a laureate's garland of silk, gold, and pearls. Elizabeth married Sir Thomas Boleyn of Blickling, Norfolk (c.1477-March 12, 1539) c.1499 and had by him three famous children, Mary (c.1498-July 1543), Anne (c.1501-x.May 19, 1536) and George (1503-x.May 19, 1536). There were at least two others, Thomas, probably the eldest, who lived until around 1520, and Henry (d.yng). There is no evidence that Elizabeth served Elizabeth
