Duke John Howard of Norfolk ===
=== The son of Hereward (now being written ===
The son of Hereward (now being written Howard) was seized of Wiggenhall, Terrington, and other estates in Norfolk, and was the father of John Howard of John Howard of Wiggenhall who married Lucy, the daughter of John Germund . They were parents of Sir William Howard, the first member of the house to be knighted. Hereward was living in Norfolk during the reign of King Edgar (957-973) and was kinsman of Duke Oslac. His son, Loefric, was the father of Hereward who was banished by William the Conqueror. It appears, however, that Hereward was allowed to return to England and it is certain that his family retained Wiggenhall and other portions of their inheritance in Norfolk. The grandson of Hereward the Banished, Hereward and his wife, Wilburga were granted land at Terrington in Norfolk during the reign of Henry II. In the church of Len (Lynn) Hereward directed that prayers be said for the soul of his father, Hereward, and of his grandfather, Hereward the Banished. Note Source: Broderbund WFT Vol. 21 Tree # 239.
