Edit Profile
Career
Thomas Howard until 1679. Howard represented Wallingford in Parliament from 1640 to 1646. He was colonel of a regiment of Royalist horse in 1643, and subsequently a brigadier.
In 1661, after the English Restoration, he was rewarded with the sinecure office of Clerk of the Markets of the Household.
He was succeeded by his great-nephew Henry Howard, who then united the earldoms of Suffolk and Berkshire. Moll Davis was born around 1648 in Westminster and was said by Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist, to be "a bastard of Collonell Howard, my Lord Barkeshire" - probably meaning Thomas Howard, third Earl of Berkshire.
