Don't think I've ever read that Lady Margaret Douglas had a son as a result of her dalliance (marriage?) with Lord Thomas Howard. Has anyone else heard of this "Robert Howard"? If he indeed existed, wouldn't he have been considered one of the principal claimants to the throne during the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I? Why then, is he not more prominently mentioned in histories of that time?
This article claims Robert Howard was "protected by his uncle, the 3rd Duke of Norfolk" during the "Tudor Threat," a vague-sounding event that I've also never heard of. I'm no Tudor historian or scholar, but I have read several books about the era. Must say, I'm more than a little doubtful of Robert's existence, and wonder if this isn't somebody's attempt to create a personal (bogus) genealogical link to the English royal family. - CassieBlue 23:33, 17 June 2006
I researched this online, and could find no support for another son born to Margaret as a result of her affair or (secret marriage?) with Thomas Howard. Because there is no evidence to support this, I edited that part out of the article. If someone else can show proof that this "Robert Howard" existed, they can put him back into the article. - CassieBlue 10:02, 22 June 2006
James E. Moss wrote a book in 1976 detailing his theory on Robert Howards existence. It was called, Providence, Ye Lost Towne at Severn in Maryland. ~SValmont 3:00, 19 Feb. 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.69.40.101 (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
There is no documentation to support that Margaret and Thomas had a child. I'm not sure who added "Robert Howard" to this page, but I am deleting it. Any child from an illicit affair like theirs would have been a threat to the throne and Margaret would have been severely punished beyond what she was. Lady Meg (talk) 16:14, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
