created duke of Richmond, duke of Somerset & earl of Nottingham 21 June 1524
married to Mary Howard 1533

interesting note: once, in an effort to work out the complicated Tudor succession while Henry & Katharine were still married, some suggested Fitzroy marry his half-sister, Princess Mary Tudor.  Oddly enough, the plan was endorsed by the pope!
