king Edward III., and was one of the nobles who arrested See also:Roger See also:Mortimer in 1330. In 1337 he was created earl of Suffolk. The earl was employed by Edward III. on high military and See also:diplomatic duties and was See also:present at the battles of See also:Crecy and See also:Poitiers. His son William, the 2nd earl (c. 1339–1382), held important appointments under Edward III. and See also:Richard II. He played a leading See also:part in the suppression of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, but in the same See also:year he supported the popular party in parliament in the attack on the misgovernment of Richard II. Although twice married he See also:left no sons, and his earldom became See also:extinct, his extensive estates reverting to the See also:Crown.
In 1385 the earldom of Suffolk and the lands of the Uffords were granted by Richard II. to his friend See also:Michael Pole (c. 1330–1389), a son of Sir William atte Pole, a baron of the exchequerand a See also:merchant (see POLE See also:FAMILY). After an active public See also:life as the trusted adviser of Richard II. Pole was dismissed from his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:chancellor, was impeached and sentenced to See also:death, but escaped to See also:France, where he died. His titles and estates were forfeited, but in 1399 the earldom of Suffolk and most of the estates were restored to his son Michael (c. 1361–1415). Michael, the 3rd earl (1394–1415), was killed at the See also:battle of See also:Agincourt, and the earldom passed to his See also:brother William (1J96–1450), who was created earl of See also:Pembroke in 1443, See also:marquess of Suffolk in 1444, and See also:duke of Suffolk in 1448 (see SUFFOLK, WILLIAM DE LA POLE, DUKE oF). The duke's son, John, 2nd duke of Suffolk (1442–1491), married See also:Elizabeth, daughter of Richard, duke of See also:York, and See also:sister of King Edward IV., by whom he had six sons. The eldest, John (c. 1464–1487), was created earl of See also:Lincoln, and was named See also:heir to the See also:throne by Richard III. He was killed fighting against Henry VII. at the battle of Stoke, and was attainted. His brother See also:Edmund (c. 1472–1513) should have succeeded his See also:father in the dukedom in 1491, but he surrendered this to Henry VII. in return for some of the estates forfeited by the earl of Lincoln, and was known simply as earl of Suffolk. Having incurred the displeasure of the king, he left his own See also:country in 1501 and sought help for an invasion of See also:England. Consequently he was attainted in 1504 and was handed over in 15o6 to Henry. He was kept in See also:prison until 1513, when he was beheaded by Henry VIII. His brother Richard now called himself duke of Suffolk, and put forward a claim to the English crown. Known as the " See also:- WHITE

In the same year it was revived in favour of Henry Grey, marquess of See also:Dorset, who had married Frances, a daughter of the first Brandon duke.
