Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey was one of the most flamboyant and
controversial characters of Henry VIII's reign. A pioneering poet,
whose verse had a profound impact on Shakespeare, Surrey was
nevertheless branded by one contemporary as 'the most foolish proud
boy that is in England'. He was the heir of England's premier
nobleman, first cousin to two of Henry VIII's wives - Anne Boleyn
and Catherine Howard - and best friend and brother-in-law to the
King's illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy. Celebrated for his
chivalrous deeds both on and off the battlefield, Surrey became, at
only twenty-eight, the King's Lieutenant General in France. But his
confident exterior masked insecurity and loneliness. A man of
intriguing contradictions, Surrey was both law enforcer and law
breaker, political conservative and religious reformer and his
life, replete with drunken escapades, battlefield heroics,
conspiracy and courtroom drama, sheds new light on the opulence and
artifice of a dazzling, but deadly, age.
