Twelfth Earl of Arundel, b. about 1511; d. in London, 24 Feb., 1580 (O.S. 1579).
Son of William, eleventh earl, and Lady Anne Percy, he was godson to Henry VIII,
in whose palace he was educated. From 1540 he was governor of Calais till 1543,
when he succeeded to the earldom. In 1544 he beseiged and took Boulogne, being
made lord-chamberlain as a reward. In the reign of Edward VI he opposed
Protector Somerset and supported Warwick, who eventually unjustly accused him of
peculation and removed him from the council. On the death of Edward he abandoned
the cause of Lady Jane Grey and proclaimed Mary as queen. Throughout her reign
he was in favour as lord-steward and was employed in much diplomatic business.
Even under Elizabeth he at first retained his offices and power though
distrusted by her ministers. Yet he was too powerful to attack, and, being a
widower, was considered as a possible consort for the queen. But in 1564 he fell
into disgrace, and Elizabeth did not again employ him till 1568. Being the
leader of the Catholic party, he desired a marriage between Mary, Queen of
Scots, and his son-in-law, the Duke of Norfolk, but was too cautious to commit
himself, so that even after the futile northern rebellion of 1569 he was
recalled to the council. But the discovery of the Ridolfi conspiracy, in 1571,
again led to his confinement, and he spent the rest of his life in retirement.
