(b) On this occasion Chapuys wrote to Charles V expressing surprise at the despatch of so stupid and indiscreet a man.
(d) "He was better to invent than to judge, and fitter for action than counsel, and readier for new projects than for settled business." -(Lloyd 1665) "Few men played a more important part than he did both in the reigns of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth." "At the accession of Queen Elizabeth" says Froude, "the Howard family was represented by William, Lord of Effingham, to whom, above all other Englishmen, Elizabeth owed her life and throne."
