After a moment of silence one little boy raised his hand and said, "Howard Howard, English noble family. Landowners in Norfolk from the 13th cent., the Howards obtained the duchy of Norfolk through the marriage of Sir Robert Howard to Margaret Mowbray, daughter of Thomas Mowbray, 1st duke of Norfolk. ."

"Howard?" asked the teacher.

"You know," he continued, "Howard be thy name."
