Thomas ARUNDELL had gone to Europe with an introductory letter from Queen Elizabeth, in which she referred to him as her "dearest cousin Thomas Arundel." While there, due to bravery in battle, the Emporer of Germany gave him as Thomas ARUNDEL the title of "Count of the Empire."

Research
There are theory's to the contrary that Thomas Arundell Howard was not Matthew Howards father.
Some claim that Thomas Arundell, never had a son Matthew, and this was a hoax.[Elizabeth TODD.FTW]3786

The ancestry of Matthew Howard is unknown. One theory of his ancestry, the Howard-Arundell theory has been found to have no validity.99064
