Elizabeth Howard was a prominent figure in the English court during the Tudor period, primarily known for her familial connections and her position as a mistress of King Henry VIII.
Family and Lineage: She was the daughter of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and his first wife, Elizabeth Tilney. This made her a member of the powerful Howard family, which played a significant role in English politics.
Relationship with Henry VIII: Before his marriage to Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth Howard was one of Henry VIII's mistresses. The affair was relatively brief and did not result in any known offspring.
Marriage: She married Sir Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond.
Mother of Anne and Mary Boleyn: Most notably, Elizabeth Howard was the mother of Anne Boleyn, who became Henry VIII's second wife and Queen of England, and Mary Boleyn, who was also a mistress of Henry VIII and briefly a mistress of the French King Francis I.
Influence: While not a ruler or a politician herself, her position within the Howard family and her relationship to the Boleyn sisters placed her near the center of courtly intrigue and power struggles.
