“Early in 1543, Prince Henry of Wales and Prince Edward of York were sent to their respective domains, accompanied by companions, teachers, and various relations. Princess Elizabeth would also leave the Hatfield, moving to Court where she would learn from her mother how to be a Queen.
Prince Henry would be accompanied by his uncle George Boleyn and a whole slew of companions. Prince Edward would be joined in York by his half-sister, the Lady Mary.”

“It is in York that we see the marriage of Lady Mary and Henry Howard begin to crack. It appears that Howard viewed the appointment as
his appointment. This view was shattered when upon arrival, Howard discovered all had been ordered by Henry VIII to obey the Lady Mary.
Initially, Howard appears to have attempted to gain some level of influence in the Prince’s household but was then rebuked by Henry VIII.”
York and the Lady Mary by Martin Boyd
“It was shortly after the birth of Mathias Howard, that his father Henry Howard would depart Prince Edward’s lands in York. Mary and Henry would never again live as husband and wife.”

“We have no records of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey attempting to gain custody of his two children with the Lady Mary. Perhaps he did and those records were just lost to time, but more likely he knew that King Henry would side with his daughter and so simply never tried.
So, the Lady Mary would have total custody of her two children: Mary and Mathias.”
