There have been 21 men given the title of 'Earl of Suffolk' and there has never been a Brandon. Perhaps you mean 'Duke of Suffolk'?
Charles Brandon was 1st Duke of Suffolk. Born 1484, Brandon grew up in Henry VII's court and held various titles during his time in the court. Brandon distinguished himself in battle during the French Campaign of 1513. During his lifetime, Brandon had four marriages, his third (and perhaps most notable) marriage was to Mary Tudor, sister of the reigning king Henry VIII.
Brandon had several legitimate and illegitimate children, two of which (Henry and Charles) received the title 'Duke of Suffolk' after their father's death in 1545.
