Notes:

"In July 1529, in a deposition as to her presence at the marriage of Prince Arthur and Catherine of Aragon in 1501, she gave her age as 52 years and more (P.R.O. Dipl. Doc. 1456). She bore the Queen's train at the Coronation of Anne Boleyn, 1 June 1533 (Coll. of Arms MS., WZ, fo. 47); and was godmother to the Princess Mary in 1516, and to Princess Elizabeth in 1533. In an interesting letter to Wolsey in 1528 (L. and P. Hen. VIII, vol. iv, pt. 2, p. 2043) she describes her treatment of her neighbours for the plague or sweating sickness. In 1541 she was imprisoned in the Tower (with her son Lord William Howard and Margaret his wife, and her daughter the Countess of Bridgwater), and attainted for misprision of treason in concealing the "evil life" of her granddaughter, Catherine Howard, before her marriage to the King (Statutes of the Realm, vol. iii, p. 858; Ch. Inq. p. m., Ser. II, 69/160, 189, 192). She was released 5 May 1542."

Buried:
"Her body was removed, 13 Oct., to Lambeth (Surrey Arch. Coll., vol. ix, p. 398), where she had prepared her tomb. Her will (abstract, Idem, p. 427), P.C.C., 40 Pynnyng, is signed Agnes Norff."

Agnes married Thomas (Howard), 2nd Duke of Norfolk in 1497. Thomas (son of John (Howard), 1st Duke of Norfolk and Catherine de Moleyns) was born in 1443 in Stoke Neyland, Suffolk, England; died on 21 May 1524 in Framlingham Castle, Framlingham, Suffolk, England; was buried on 26 June 1524 in Thetford Abbey, Thetford, Norfolk, England.
