• Neville, Edward (d.1538) by William Arthur Jobson Archbold
• NEVILLE, Sir EDWARD (d. 1538), courtier, was third but second surviving son of George, second baron Bergavenny, by his first wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir Hugh Fenne, under-treasurer of England. His brothers George, third lord Bergavenny [q. v.], and Sir Thomas Neville [q. v.] of Mereworth, speaker of the House of Commons, are separately noticed. Edward Neville was prominent at the court when Henry VIII came to the throne. He held the offices of sewer of the household and squire of the king's body, and from time to time received grants from the crown. He took part in the expeditions made into France in 1512 and 1513, in the latter year serving in the king's guard, in a division to which Lord Bergavenny and John Neville were also attached. On 25 Sept. 1513 he was knighted at Tournay. On 20 Oct. 1514 he landed at Calais, in disguise, with Charles Brandon [q. v.], then viscount Lisle, and afterwards duke of Suffolk, and Sir William Sydney, all three going to Paris for the coronation of the Princess Mary, who had married Louis XII. In 1516 he was a gentleman of the privy chamber and master of the buckhounds. He was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520. He was of the party of the Duke of Buckingham, who is said to have relied upon him to counteract the influence of Lord Bergavenny at court, and gave him in 1521 a doublet of silver cloth. Although in 1521 he was forbidden the court for a time, he was soon restored to favour, and acted as ‘herbeger’ at Charles V's visit in 1522. In 1523 he held a command in the army in France (State Papers, vi. 170). In 1524 he was a commissioner for the collection of the subsidy in Kent, and in 1526 he had a grant of privilege to export a large quantity of wood from Kent and Sussex, which was afterwards rather oddly revoked. In 1531 he was the king's standard-bearer; he took an official part in the coronation of Anne Boleyn in 1533, and on 27 June 1534 was made constable of Leeds Castle in Kent. At the baptism of Prince Edward in 1537 Neville was one of those who bore the canopy.
• Suddenly, in 1538, Neville was found to be concerned in the conspiracy of the Poles. Early in November he was sent to the Tower with Exeter and Montagu [see Pole, Henry, 1492–1539]. He was tried in Westminster Hall on 4 Dec., and beheaded on Tower Hill on 8 Dec. 1538. He lived chiefly at Aldington, Kent, was reputed a fine soldier, and was a handsome courtier. But the rumour as to his being a son of Henry VIII, whom he resembled (Notes and Queries, 1st ser. ii. 307), is obviously refuted by the probable dates of their respective births, though it was revived as a joke by Queen Elizabeth.
• Neville married Eleanor, daughter of Andrew, lord Windsor, and widow of Ralph, lord Scrope of Upsall, and left several children. Of his sons, Edward of Newton St. Loe, on the death of Henry, fourth lord Bergavenny, in 1587, claimed the barony, but died 10 Feb. 1589 before he was summoned to parliament. He left, however, by Catherine, daughter of Sir John Brome, a son, also called Edward, who was summoned to parliament as sixth Lord Bergavenny on 25 May 1604. Sir Edward Neville had a second son, Sir Henry Neville of Billingbear [q. v.], who is separately noticed, and through him he was grandfather of Sir Henry Neville (d. 1615) [q. v.] His four daughters were all married.

• ELIZABETH NEVILLE (d.1500) (maiden name unknown)
• This lady is usually referred to as Elizabeth Neville, Lady Bergavenny even though she had three other husbands prior to her marriage to George Neville, 4th baron Bergavenny (d. September 1492). Her origins are unknown. Her first husband was Sir Robert Bassett (d.c.1480), a salter who was Lord Mayor of London in 1475-6. He had a house in St. Mary Colchurch. After his death, his widow married Richard Naylor, whose will was probated in 1483. By Naylor she had at least one son, John, and was possibly also the mother of Robert Naylor. After Naylor's death, she married George Stoker or Stokker of St. George’s, Eastcheap. His will was probated in 1485. Her fourth husband, Lord Bergavenny, left her some personal items and forty marks. No doubt her marriage contract left her well provided for in the event of a fourth widowhood. In Elizabeth’s own will, written on April 14, 1500 and proved on June 19, 1500, she left her lands in Chatham, Chilham, Perham, Sellinge, and Boughton under Blore, Kent to her sons, John Naylor and Robert Naylor, but in leaving the "remainder" to Hugh, Thomasine, Alice, and Joan Naylor, she refers to Hugh and Robert as "brothers to the said John” and to the girls as "sisters to the said Hugh and Robert, respectively," confusing the issue of whether Robert was her son or stepson and implying that her second husband, Richard Naylor, had children by two previous wives before he married her. Elizabeth also specifies that she be buried with Naylor in the Church of St. Martin's Outwich, Bishopsgate, London.

• .... George Neville, IV lord Abergavenny, married as his second wife, a woman who was already thrice a widow. Elizabeth Neville had been married to a Lord Mayor of London, who died around 1480, then to Richard Naylor of London, whose will was probated in 1483, then to John Stoker of St. George's Eastcheap, whose will was probated in 1486, and only then to Neville. He died in September 1492; she, in 1500. Her will, with only a few personal and family bequests, asks for burial with Naylor, in St. Martin's, Outwich, London. Thus her last marriage-- and the one that puts her among our ranks of aristocratic widows-- was clearly a fairly short one (lasting but some five to seven years), as it was childless (though Neville had had six sons and two daughters by his first marriage, to Margaret Fense, d. 1485), .... etc. ______________

property notes

From 'Parishes: Ashley', in A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 4, ed. William Page (London, 1911), pp. 440-442 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/hants/vol4/pp440-442 [accessed 9 September 2015].

There is no mention of the manor of ASHLEY in the Domesday Survey, but as in the 13th century it was held partly of the Talemaches as of their manor of Upper Somborne and partly of the Walerans as of their manor of Little Somborne, (fn. 4) it was in 1086 probably included in the lands held by William de Ow (fn. 5) and by Waleran the Huntsman (fn. 6) in the hundred of King's Somborne. ...

... Anne [Warwick], his only child, died an infant in 1448–9, (fn. 43) and the manor then apparently passed to George Nevill Lord Abergavenny, son of Sir Edward Nevill by Elizabeth only daughter and heir of Richard Beauchamp Earl of Worcester by Isabel le Despenser. (fn. 44) On his death in 1492 he was succeeded by his son George Nevill Lord Abergavenny, (fn. 45) who died seised of the manor of Ashley in 1535, leaving a son and heir Henry Nevill Lord Abergavenny.
