NEVILLE
From the thirteenth to the sixteenth century the Nevilles were
undoubtedly the most important barons in
the County of Durham. Origina ting from Neville-Seine-Maritime in France,
from which they took their
name, they came to England at the time of the Norman conquest when a
Henry De Nevi lle commanded
William the Conqueror's fleet. The Nevilles intermarried with a powerful
Saxon family called the
Bulmers, took the Bull's Head as their embl em and became the Lords of
Raby and Brancepeth. At the
Battle of Nevilles Cr oss, near Durham City on 17th October 1346, Ralph
Neville of Raby Castle led
the English army in their famous victory over the Scots and became the
first layman to be allowed
burial in Durham Cathedral. His son John Neville, also b uried in the
cathedral donated the famous
Neville Screen for the great build ing in 1375. On Nevilles orders, the
beautiful ornamented screen was
shipped to Newcastle in sections and then brought to Durham by cart.
Perhaps the mos t famous
Neville of all, though not directly connected with Durham was Richard
Neville, the Earl of Warwick,
who was known as Warwick the Kingmaker becaus e of his influence over
whether Edward IV or
Henry VI wore the English Crown . The power and influence of the Nevilles
in Durham came to a
dramatic end i n 1569 when the Nevilles, along with the equally powerful
Percy family of Aln wick in
Northumberland, plotted to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I in what came to be
known as the Rising of
the North. The rising failed, the Nevilles fled i nto exile and all their
Durham properties were
confiscated.
