Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, 11th Earl of Surrey, 1st Earl of Norfolk, was born 7 July 1585 to Philip Howard (1557-1595) and Anne Dacre (1557-1630) and died 4 October 1646 in Padua, Italy of unspecified causes. He married Alethea Talbot (1585-1654) September 1606 . Notable ancestors include William I of England (1027-1087), Charlemagne (747-814), Hugh Capet (c940-996), Alfred the Great (849-899), Rurik (c832-879), Henry II of England (1133-1189).

********************
Anthony Van Dyck: An Historical Study of His Life and Works, Volume 1 p. 268 (Portraits painted in England) mentions a large painting of Thomas Howard, Alethea Talbot and their “six sons.” Described as painted in 1541 and including their grandchildren in Life, Correspondence & Collections of Thomas Howard by Hervey (1921), p. 434
But see an article by Hadrien Rambach in the The BRITISH ART Journal Volume XIV, No. 1 called "Van Dyck’s project for a family portrait of Lord Arundel" which suggests the work was never completed. The article suggests Philip Fruytiers may have done some work including the Howards. See his "Lord Arundel and his family" by Philip Fruytiers, after
1643. The British Museum has an etching but notes the children in the picture are grandchildren.
***************************
In Hervey's Life, Correspondence & Collections of Thomas Howard (1921), he states at page 51:
Other children joined the little group as the years rolled on. Six sons altogether were born to Lord and Lady Arundel. Thomas and Gilbert, the third and fourth sons, died in infancy. William, the fifth son, born the 3Oth November, 1611, lived to become Lord Stafford, and perished on the scaffold in 1680, falsely accused of participation in the Popish Plot. He was the author of the Historical Account of Thomas Earl of Arundel, often quoted here 3 . Charles, the sixth son, died a child, in 1620. Two only of this numerous progeny survived their father: Henry Frederick, who succeeded him; and William, Lord Stafford 4.
4 Tierney says (p. 487) there was also one daughter, Catherine, quoting Dugdale's Baronage, n, 277, as his authority. But neither in Dugdale, nor elsewhere, can I find any mention of such a daughter. Nor does Lord Arundel himself, when speaking in his will of his six sons, make any allusion to a daughter. The statement of Tierney would therefore appear to rest on error. (Henry Frederick had a daughter Catherine, who married John Digby and who figures in the Van Dyck Fruytiers group of Thomas and Aletheia with their grandchildren. See post, p. i.)

Notes
Miscellaneous
But note records for the Privy Counsel suggest no such committee was developed until about 1630.Miscellaneous
Dictionary of National Biography, v.28 (1889)On 8 May 1621, when the House of Lords were discussing the case of Sir Henry Yelverton, who was in the Tower on the charge of attacking Buckingham in the House of Commons, Arundel dissuaded the lords from hearing Yelverton's own explanation of his words. Lord Spencer, as the representative of the popular party, hotly resented the suggestion that a man should be condemned unheard. A fierce altercation took place between Arundel and Spencer; finally, Arundel's advice was rejected, and his passionate language to Spencer was punished on 16 May by his committal to the Tower by order of the House of Lords. He was only released on the king's personal intercession with the lords, and on the engagement of the Prince of Wales that he would effect a reconciliation between the two peers. On 29 Aug. 1621 Arundel was appointed earl-marshal of England.
