IanC, thanks for your notes. One very minor query or perhaps nitpick; I understood that Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, wasn't restored to the Dukedom of Norfolk until after the Battle of Flodden, as a mark of Henry VIII's favour.

Bear it in mind that in 1485, Howard had fought at Bosworth for Richard III, i.e. against Henry Tudor (acclaimed Henry VII immediately after the battle). Surrey's father, Richard Howard, Duke of Norfolk had died in the battle, as had Richard III. Richard III had the better lines though.
