  • Name Ralph DE NEVILLE  [1, 2, 3, 4
    • Ralph Neville, K.G., 4h Lord Neville of Raby, P.C., son and heir of John de Neville, 3rd Lord Neville of Raby, by Maud, daughter of Henry de Percy. Margaret Stafford was born before 164 (aged twenty-four at her father's death). They had nine children. She died on 9 June 1396, and was buried at Brancepeth, Durham. He took part in the Earl of Buckingham's expedition to Brittany, where he was knighted at St. Omer in July 1380. He succeeded his father on 17 Oct 1388, and was summoned to Parliament from 6 Dec 1389, by writs directed 'Radulpho de Nevyll de Raby'. From 1389 till 1424 he was continually employed on the Border in negotiating truces and peace with Scotland. He was married for the second time before 20 Feb 1397 to Joan Beaufort, widow of Robert Ferrers. She was born about 1379. He was created Earl of Westmorland on 29 Sep 1397. His near alliance to the House o Lancaster (being son-in-law of John of Gaunt), led him to forsake the King, and take a prominent part in the elevation of Henry of 'Bolingbroke' the exiled Duke of Lancaster, to the throne as King Henry IV. Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmorland, died testate at Raby Castle on 21 Oct. 1425, and was buried at Staindrop, Durham. His second wife, on whom the lordships of Middleham and Sheriff-Hutton, with other extensive lands, were between he and her sons on the one side, and the grandsons of her husband by his first wife on the other, which resulted in the elder branch espousing the cause of Lancaster, and Salisbury and his brothers, that of York.
