Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOWARD OF EFFINGHAM, WILLIAM HOWARD , 1st BARON (c. 15101573), English lord high admiral, was the son of the 2nd duke of Norfolk. He was popular with
Henry
  VIII., and at Anne Boleyn's coronation was deputy
earl
  marshal; and he was sent on missions to
Scotland
  and France; but in 1541 he was charged with abetting his relative Queen Catherine Howard, and was convicted of misprision of treason, but pardoned. In 1552 he was made
governor
  of Calais, and in 1553 lord high admiral, being created Baron Howard of Effingham in 1554 for his defence of London in Sir
Thomas
  Wyat's rebellion against Queen Mary. He befriended the princess Elizabeth, but his popularity with the navy saved him from Mary's resentment; and when Elizabeth became queen he had
great
  influence with., her and filled several important posts. His son, the second baron, who is famous in English naval history, was created
earl
  of Nottingham (q.v.); and from a younger son the later earls of Effingham were descended. William's descendant, Francis (d. 1695), inherited the barony of Howard of Effingham on the death of his
cousin
 , Charles, in 1681; and Francis's son, Francis (16831743), was created earl of Effingham in 1731. This earldom became
extinct
  on the death of Richard, the fourth holder, in 1816; but it was created again in 1837 in favour of Kenneth Alexander( 17671845), another of William Howard's descendants,
who had succeeded to the barony of Howard of Effingham in 1816.
