Summary

Thomas Howard portrait

A prominent courtier – but better known for his art collections and as a grand tourist.

Described in a footnote by Austin Dobson as 2nd Earl – Wikipedia says he was sometimes known as the 2nd Earl depending on if the Earldom obtained by his father was recognised as a new creation or not.
