Biography
| Preceded by Charles Howard, 10th Duke of Norfolk |
Duke of Norfolk 1786–1815 |
Succeeded by Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk |
Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk was born on 15 March 1746. He was the son of Charles Howard, 10th Duke of Norfolk and Catherine Brockholes.
He married, firstly, Marion Coppinger, daughter of John Coppinger, on 1 August 1767. He married, secondly, Frances Scudamore (1750–1820), the only child of Charles FitzRoy-Scudamore and his wife Frances, formerly Duchess of Beaufort, on 6 April 1771 at London, England. Frances soon became insane after her marriage and was locked away until her death in 1820. Howard lived with several mistresses. His longtime mistress, Mary Ann Gibbon (a cousin of Edward Gibbon), was reputed to be his secret third wife and she had five children by him, including two sons who were officers of arms, Matthew Howard-Gibbon, and Edward Howard-Gibbon. An older illegitimate son by a previous mistress, Sir William Woods, later became Garter King of Arms.
He lived at Arundel Castle. Norfolk died on 16 December 1815 at age 69, without issue from either of his two legal marriages. Upon his death, his lands and titles passed to his cousin, Bernard. He died on 16 December 1815 at age 69.
He succeeded to the title of 11th Duke of Norfolk in 1786, and was Lord Lieutenant of Sussex from 1807 until his death in 1815 [1]
