Thomas Howard

(Henry Czerny)

He was uncle to Anne Boleyn and also to Katherine Howard, Henry’s 5th wife. Rumor has it he conspired against Katherine when she took a lover, even though it was he who hooked her up with Henry. Something similar happened to Anne; however—unlike Katherine—Anne did not commit adultery even though she was charged with it. Norfolk passed sentence on both of his nieces, and both were sentenced to death for high treason and adultery… a real family man.
