“…It is likely, too, that Drew Drury (Norfolk 1621) and Sir Anthony Drury (Norfolk 1625) had Arundel's help. 22 Thetford's elections from 1621 through 1628 show Arundel's hand. His deceased kinsman, Northampton, had placed a nominee at Thet ford in 1614, and Arundel was able, in the succeeding elections, to sustain the Howard influence.…”
