SURREY, HENRY HOWARD, EARL OF English poet, son of Lord Thomas Howard, afterwards 3rd duke of Norfolk, and his wife Elizabeth Stafford, daughter of the duke of Buckingham, was born probably in 1518.
Surrey had always been an enemy to the Seymours, whom he regarded as upstarts, and when his sister, the duchess of Richmond, seemed disposed to accept a marriage with Sir Thomas Seymour, he wrote to her insinuating that this was a step towards becoming the mistress of Henry VIII.
Surrey had asserted in the presence of a certain George Blage, who was inclined to the reforming movement, that on Henrys death, his father, the duke of Norfolk, as the premier duke in England, had the obvious right of acting as regent to Prince Edward.

Henry Howard was the eldest son of lord Thomas Howard, son of Thomas, earl of Surrey and duke of Norfolk, and himself became, by courtesy, earl of Surrey in 1524, on his father’s succeeding to the dukedom.
Surrey was formally married at 16; but the subject of many of his poems was not his wife, but his “lady” in the chivalric sense, the mistress whose “man” he had become by a vow of fealty.
That she was a mere child when Surrey first began to address poems to her confirms the impression received by the candid reader: these poems, in fact, are the result, not of a sincere passion, but of the rules of the game of chivalry as played in its decrepitude and Surrey’s youth.

 Henry Howard, King Henry VIII & his last execution
The Seymours accused Surrey of having secretly sympathized with the rebellion of 1536 (also known as the "Pilgrimage of Grace"), which was provoked by the dissolution of the monasteries in England.
Nonetheless, the accusation of complicity in the rebellion led to Surrey's confinement at Windsor from 1537-1539.
Surrey is also credited with introducing blank verse into English poetry, in his translations of the second and fourth books of Vergil's "Aeneid," and with being the originator of the English sonnet form, which was so masterfully employed by William Shakespeare that it is now widely known as the Shakespearean sonnet.

 EMLS 6.2 (September, 2000) 19.1-6 Review of Henry Howard, the Poet Earl of Surrey
As Sessions tells the story of Surrey's ancestors, fighting alongside Richard III at Bosworth and later restoring their prominence (and dukedom) at Flodden in 1513, the poet's perilous intimacy with the politics of the realm seems an inherited trait.
These were the means by which Surrey sought to reinforce a new sense of nobility based on Roman models: the lyrics and translations, the architecture and landscape of Surrey House, the portraits by Holbein and others.
Surrey steadfastly maintained his innocence to the last, writing letters and vitriolic psalm paraphrases from the Tower to condemn the moral corruption of his prosecutors.

Surrey's father, Thomas, the third Duke of Norfolk, married first the Lady Anne, the daughter of Edward IV and sister of Elizabeth the Queen of Henry VII.

When Surrey told one of the other faction that Norfolk should be the governor, he was answered "rather than it should come to pass that the prince should be under the governance of his father or you, I would bide the adventure to thrust this dagger in you".

 Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard
The sonnet (from French, "little song"), which both Wyatt and Surrey adapted from Petrarch, is a lyric probably not meant for instrumental accompaniment and reliably composed of fourteen lines of iambic pentameter.
Wyatt's and Surrey's poems were among the first lyrics from the courtiers' manuscript tradition to find their way into mass-production print in the form of the poetry collection traditionally called "Tottel's Miscellany" (1557).
Henry (and his son and daughters) closely controlled the marriages of the young men and women at court, trying to prevent the growth of family alliances which might challenge Tudor power and to encourage alliances which would support it.
