Closely related to the royal family but Henry VIII took against Henry and his father, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk. They were imprisoned and Henry was beheaded at Tower Hill. His father survived because the king died the day before the execution was due. But 27 years later his son Thomas Howard died the same way.
