 | | 1430-1471), English soldier, was the third son of Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury, and a brother of Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, the king-maker. |
 | | At the battle of Blore Heath in 1459 John Neville was taken prisoner by the Lancastrians, although the Yorkists under his father had won the victory; he was among those who were attainted in the parliament of Coventry, and he was not released until 1460 when his own party had gained the upper hand. |
 | | Edward, doubtless suspecting him, restored the earidom of Northumberland and its vast estates to Henry Percy, while John Nevilles only recompense was the barren title of marquess of Montagu. |
