Round points out that James, Earl of Suffolk was appointed Joint Commissioner for the office of Marshal of England 15 June 1673 (Warrant Book 16); and that owing to the adherence of the Dukes of Norfolk to the Roman Catholic faith, deputies had to be appointed for the discharge of the office. Of the Earls of Suffolk, the Protestant branch of the Howards, one was appointed Deputy Earl Marshal in 1706, another in 1718, and another in 1763. Two of the (Howards) Earls of Carlisle also held this appointment.
