         “An English lord who supported the Yorkist kings in the Wars of the Roses, John Howard was the son of Sir Robert Howard by his wife, Margaret, daughter of Thomas Mowbray, the 1st Duke of Norfolk of that family. In 1455 John Howard was sent to Parliament as member for Norfolk; in 1461 he was knighted; and in 1470, although he appears to have been a consistent Yorkist, he was created a baron by Henry VI. He was treasurer of the royal household from 1467 to 1474 and went to France with Edward IV in 1475. After Edward's death, however, Howard supported Richard III, who created him Duke of Norfolk and made him earl marshal of England in June 1483. He was killed at Bosworth Field while fighting for this king and the title thus suffered attainder.” http://www.graham.day.dsl.pipex.com/rose33.htm

John Howard was known as "Jack (or "Jock," hence: "Jockey") of Norfolk". He had the support of Edward IV of England who made him not just 1st Duke of Norfolk but also constable of Norwich Castle, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, treasurer of the Royal Household, Earl Marshal of England, and Lord Admiral of all England, Ireland, and Aquitaine. He was married first to Katherine Moleyns, then to Margaret Chedworth. He died on August 22, 1485 in the Battle of Bosworth Field. The night before, someone had left him a note warning him that King Richard, his "master," was going to be double-crossed, which he was:

            For Dickon, thy master, is bought and sold.”
