Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel

Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel KG (23 April 1512 – 24 February 1580) was an English nobleman, who over his long life assumed a prominent place at the court of all the later Tudor sovereigns.Within a few months, he was cleared of the charges, but the experience pushed him into the camp of the Duke of Somerset, who had been released from the Tower and readmitted to the Privy Council.Later, he presided over the trial of his brother-in-law, Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk, assisted in suppressing Wyatt's rebellion in 1554, was dispatched on foreign missions, and in September 1555 accompanied Philip to Brussels.In 1556, Mary I sold the unfinished Nonsuch Palace that had been designed and built by her father and predecessor, King Henry VIII, to Arundel, who completed it by 1559.Elizabeth I continued to use Nonsuch Palace as a royal residence until her death in 1603, whereupon her successor, James I and VI of England and Scotland, inherited it.He incurred the queen's displeasure in 1562 by holding a meeting at his house during her illness to consider the question of succession and promote the claims of Lady Catherine Grey.[1] In January he alarmed Elizabeth by communicating to her a supposed Spanish project for aiding Mary and replacing her on her throne, and put before the queen in writing his own objections to the adoption of extreme measures against her.In September, on the discovery of Norfolk's plot, he was arrested, but not having committed himself sufficiently to incur the charge of treason in the rebellion he escaped punishment, was released in March 1570, and was recalled by Robert Dudley to the council with the aim of embarrassing Cecil.His second wife was Mary, daughter of Sir John Arundell of a prominent Cornish family, and widow of Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex.
