Edward Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick

Edward Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick

Thomas Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick (died 24 April 1675) was a British nobleman and Parliamentarian.

The youngest son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, he was created Baron Howard of Escrick on 12 April 1628.

Howard was very active in the early parts of the English Civil War. He was one of the ten Lords selected to attend the Westminster Assembly of Divines along with 20 Commoners as lay assessor, and was often employed in negotiations with Scottish officials. However, he was left off the Committee of Both Kingdoms and generally seems to play less of a role in the coming years.
