Neville, Richard, Earl of Salisbury (1400-1460), English soldier, who supported the Yorkist side during the Wars of the Roses. Neville was the son of Ralph Neville, 1st earl of Westmorland. In 1425 Neville married Alice, the only daughter of Thomas Montagu, 4th earl of Salisbury. Upon Montagu’s death in 1428, Neville inherited his holdings and assumed his title.
Neville was warden of both the western and the northern marches and from 1453 to 1455 was chancellor during the protectorate of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd duke of York. In 1459 he joined the Yorkists against King Henry VI, a Lancastrian, and participated in the Yorkist victory at Blore Heath in 1459. After the Yorkist defeat at Ludford later in the year, Neville was forced to seek refuge in France.
Neville returned to London in 1460 and after the king's capture at Northampton was made great chamberlain of England. But in December 1460, the night after the attle of Wakefield during which Richard Plantagenet was killed, Neville was captured by the Lancastrians and taken to Pontefract Castle, where he was murdered. His eldest son, Richard Neville, called the Kingmaker, was the 2nd earl of Salisbury in the Neville line and also earl of Warwick by marriage.
