• Notes

  Succeeded in 1430 to the estates of his paternal uncle of the half-blood, John (Neville), Lord Latimer. [1] He was a trier of petitions in the Parliament of 23 Hen. VI. [6] He was one of 13 kinsmen who were peers of Parliament, 1450–55. (See note in Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., sub Boyle of Kinalmeaky.) [1] In 1434 he was commissioner for array in co. York. [7] In August 1436 he was appointed a commander against the Scots. [8] In 1439 his good service in the Marches towards Scotland is mentioned. [9] In 1437 he was on the commission of the peace in Cumberland. [10] On 13 February 1436/37 he and Elizabeth his wife had a Papal indult to have mass celebrated before daybreak. [11] He became a lunatic before 11 June 1451, when custody of his lands was given to his brother, Richard (Neville), Earl of Salisbury, but apparently at lucid intervals. (The grant was renewed by Edward IV when he became king.) He continued to be summoned to Parliament for 18 years. [12] He is said to have been with the (Lancastrian) Duke of Exeter at Hull in 1460, awaiting Queen Margaret's arrival, having been personally summoned by the Queen. [13]
