Would anyone please know why Sir George Howard (c.1519 to c.1580), son of Lord Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpepper would have rented at least four or five houses in London in January of 1553 from King Edward VI? I am guessing that he had dependents to house (family members). Also, as a single man, why was he so careful to acquire wealth if he did not have dependents or clear heirs? There is no record of him leaving a Will. Darrel Hockley
