Warwick was the eldest son of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury and Alice Montagu, Countess of Salisbury.
Warwick was attainted as a traitor in 1470 and forced to flee to France, where he came to form an alliance with his old enemy Margaret of Anjou, queen of King Henry VI of England.
Warwick now planned to consolidate his alliance with Louis XI of France by helping France to invade Burgundy, for which King Louis promised him the reward of the Burgundian territories of Zeeland and Holland.

From Calais Warwick, Salisbury and Edward of York crossed to Sandwich on the 26th of June.

 Earl of Warwick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Earl of Warwick is one of the oldest English earldoms.
It was traditionally associated with possession of Warwick Castle, and when the 11th Earl entailed the castle to his heirs male, he probably intended to entail the earldom as well.
At the death of the eighth Rich Earl, the title became extinct, and was granted to Francis Greville, 1st Earl Brooke, thus uniting again the title and castle.

 April 14th
Edward, however, refused his consent to this match, and Warwick is said to have taken further offence at the king's marriage with Elizabeth Wydville, in 1464, and with the influence gained by her relatives.
Warwick advocated the latter, and went as negotiator with great pomp to France, and had many familiar and secret interviews with Louis, at which were said to have been discussed less the terms of the marriage than the means of a reconciliation between Warwick and the Lancastrian party.
Warwick was introduced secretly to Queen Margaret, and these two bitter enemies became reconciled, Warwick undertaking to dethrone Edward, and restore Henry VI, under certain conditions, one of which was the marriage of his second daughter, Anne, to the youthful Prince of Wales.
