Henry Howard, 5th Earl of Suffolk
- Henry Howard, 5th Earl of Suffolk
Henry Howard, 5th Earl of Suffolk (18 July 1627 – 10 December 1709) was the youngest son of Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, but inherited the title, because none of his brothers left surviving sons.
He married three times:
*By his first wife Mary daughter and heiress of Andrew Stewart, 3rd Baron Castle Stewart, he had three sons :
**Henry Howard, 6th Earl of Suffolk,
**Edward Howard, 8th Earl of Suffolk, and
**Charles Howard, 9th Earl of Suffolk ["Burkes Peerage and Baronetage"]
*His second wife was Mary Ronkswood, a widow. [P. W. King, 'Sir Clement Clerke and the adoption of coal in metallurgy' "Transactions of Newcomen Society" 73 (2001-2), 26–7. ]
*Mary daughter of Rev. Ambrose Upton, canon of Christchurch, Oxford. ["Burke"]
Mary Ronkswood advanced £500 (shortly before her marriage) towards the capital of the lead smelting enterprise of Sir Clement Clerke and his son Talbot, using reverberatory furnaces. However, her husband and her partner in the enterprise, Lord Grandison, were suspicious of the Clerkes. The result that the enterprise was the subject of litigation, which continued until after Henry Howard inherited the earldom with its associated estates. He seems then to have stopped contesting the litigation, which was decided in favour of the Clerkes. [P. W. King, 'The cupola near Bristol: smelting lead with pitcoal' "Somerset Archsaeology and Natural History 140 (1997), 37-51. ]
