The BRUTAL Execution Of Henry VIII's LAST Victim - Henry Howard 

Henry VIII today is known for being an incredibly brutal King who would happily order the executions of thousands of his own people inside England. However the Tudor monarch would even execute some of his closest advisors and friends, and also a number of the highest class inside Tudor society. His final victim would be Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey who would be executed days before the infamous King would died.
Henry Howard is known for being a man who made many enemies inside the royal court, had a temper but also was a talented poet. He would travel on many military expeditions but following a failed battle in France, he would return to England and was subject to the King's suspicious mind. Henry VIII in his dying days would consider Henry Howard a threat, and began to become suspicious of him and paranoid that Howard was trying to kill the King and usurp him.
Because of this, Henry VIII managed to convince many at court of the Earl of Surrey's supposed guilt. From this Henry Howard was then sentenced to death and was executed in brutal fashion on Tower Hill in front of a huge crowd. His father Thomas Howard, the Duke of Norfolk was also sentenced to death for treason, but would escape his fate as a day before the execution was due to take place, King Henry VIII would die. Because of this, Henry Howard the Earl of Surrey would become the final person to be executed by Henry VIII.
