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.

Decoration:
"In the Chron. of London (E. Tyrrell) it is stated that at Leicester on Whitsunday (1426) King Harry with his own hands dubbed a number of knights, including Sir George Nevyle, lord of Latymer. As the addition of his style anticipates his succession to the estates by four years, the account is apparently not contemporary."
