; Lineage of Nevill: The name is said to derive from Neuville in Normandy, near the modern St
Valéry-en-Caux on the coast roughly halfway between Dieppe and Fécamp. Yet the family who
adopted the Nevill(e) name after marrying a Nevill(e) heiress in the early 13th century were still older
and grander than any 11th–century Norman adventurers. Thus the Marquesses of Abergavenny,
though possessing an unbroken male line ancestry as Nevill(e)s from the reign of HENRY III,
something that is very rare in modern England, possess a still more ancient one going back to the
8th–century King of Dalriada in Scotland in the shape of the line of Anglo-Scottish thanes and
mormaers who held sway on the English-Scottish borders long before the original Nevill(e)s even
arrived in England.

The Nevill(e)s were for a time in the 14th and 15th centuries the most powerful house in England. In
the person of Richard Nevill(e), 16th and 1st Earl of Warwick (the ‘Kingmaker’), a member of the
family even disposed of the crown. And through the marriage of one of the Kingmaker’s daughters
with a Plantagenet his great-grandchildren, who bore the surname Pole, had a better legal right to the
throne than the Tudors. They were accordingly regarded by HENRY VIII as one of the most serious
dynastic threats to his ascendancy.

The ‘Kingmaker’s’ grandfather the 1st Earl of Westmorland settled about half the original Nevill(e)
estates on the children of his second marriage, whereas the subsequent Earls of Westmorland were
the product of his first. It thus came about that the 2nd–6th Earls of Westmorland were actually less
well-endowed territorially than their ancestors who had been mere barons. The pre-eminence of that
branch of the family represented by the Earls of Salisbury/Warwick, who stemmed from the 1st Earl
of Westmorland’s second marriage, was made correspondingly easier.

The 1st Earl of Westmorland had a multiplicity of children: nine by his first wife, fourteen by his
second. Of his 23 in all, four were peers, three were duchesses and another four daughters the wives
of lesser peers; moreover of those three duchesses one was mother of two kings. Between 1450 and
1455 no fewer than 13 members of the family had seats in the House of Lords. This very fecundity,
like that of EDWARD III, engendered quarrels.There was rivalry between the two branches of the
family, which grew from a dispute about family estates into a difference as to dynastic loyalties. It
thus served as an overture to the Wars of the Roses, one which was made even more ominous by a
dispute between the Nevill(e)s, represented by the 1st Marquess of Montagu, and the Percys (see
NORTHUMBERLAND, D).

This Nevill(e)-Percy rivalry dominated not just the North but all England. The Nevill(e)s’ power was
largely broken by the failure of the Rebellion of the Northern Earls in 1569, however, and unlike the
Percys they hardly recovered until the 20th century, during which they have been conspicuous as
courtiers.³
