Sir John De Neville 
Sir John was born about 1331 in Raby, Durham, England. Sir John's father was Sir Ralph De Neville and his mother was Alice de Audley. His paternal grandparents were Ralph de Neville and Eupherma Anastasia FitzRobert de Clavering; his maternal grandparents were Hugh De Audley and Isolte De Mortimer. He had five brothers and seven sisters, named Ralph, Thomas, Robert, Sir William, Alexander, Catherine, Eupheme, Lady Matilda, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Isabel and Margaret. He had a half-sister named William. He died on October 17th, 1388 in Newcastle-on-Tyne, Northumberland, England.General Notes
He was one of the most gallant officers of the Black Prince. John Neville's brother Alexander, was consecrated Archbishop of York at Westminster. June 4. 1374. His brother William was constable of Nottingham Castle. Neville was a friend of Wickliffe and one of the chiefest of his supporters, the Lollards. John was twice married: first, to Maud Percy, the dau. of Lord Henry Percy; and, secondly, to Elizabeth, the only dau. of William, Lord Latimer. He d. at Newcastle-on-Tyne, Oct. 17, 1388. In his will he was liberal in his donation to his employees and beneficent to the church.
During his early years he proved himself to be a true and loyal knight, serving faithfully in all positions in which he was placed. He was closely associated with John of Gaunt at the siege of Brest. When scandals relating to Lancaster abounded, Neville did not escape the storm of national indignation which broke over the court in 1376. The wrath of the parliament was in the first place directed against Richard Lyons and William Latimer, whose seat was at Danby in Cleveland. He was a Yorkshire neighbor of Neville, who was to take Latimer's dau. for his second wife. Latimer induced Neville to use threatening language to the Commons on his behalf, but he was impeached in three courts for buying up the King's debts, like Latimer; for suffering the troops to plunder and outrage at Southhampton in 1372; and for causing the loss of several Breton fortresses by neglecting to supply the full force of men he had undertaken to furnish. Against the two latter charges he defended himself with some force. On the first count, two accusations were brought against him, one of which the complainant attempted to withdraw at the last moment. It looks as if he had been tampered with by the accused or his friends. In 1378, he was sent as the King's lieutenant to Aquitaine, to treat with the King of Arragon, and was ordered to send a force to aid the King of Navarre, against Henry of Castile, whose throne was claimed by John of Gaunt. He is credited with having recovered eighty-three towns, castles, and forts during his licutenancy. During the remaining years of his life he was constantly employed on the Scotlish border as warden. His last days were embittered by the misfortunes of his brother, Archbishop Alexander, who, in 1387, was driven from his Sec and country. As late as March 20, 1388, he was placed in commission to treat for peace with Scotland.
