  Richard Neville, Earl Of Warwick - LoveToKnow 1911
RICHARD NEVILLE WARWICK, EARL OF (1428-1471), called "the king-maker," was eldest son of Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury, by Alice, only daughter and heiress of Thomas, the last Montacute earl of Salisbury.
Richard, duke of York, was his uncle, so when York became protector in 1453, and Salisbury was made chancellor, it was natural that Warwick should be one of the council.
Yet when Richard of York was disposed to claim the crown, it was, according to Waurin, Warwick who decided the discussion in favour of a compromise, perhaps from loyalty to Henry, or perhaps from the wish not to change a weak sovereign for a strong.

 Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, KG, PC (1400 – December 31, 1460) was a Yorkist leader during the early parts of the Wars of the Roses.

The Nevilles were related to both Henry IV (the legitimate son of Gaunt and his first wife) and to the Beauforts, the illegitimate descendants of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford.
However, those Nevilles who were descended from the Beauforts sprang from a daughter of Katherine Swynford, while the man who ultimately began the Tudor dynasty — King Henry VII — was descended from Katherine Swynford’s eldest son.
However, the Nevilles would have felt that they had a double right to the throne through their Plantagenet descendancy, which preceded their own descendancy from the Beauforts too.

Richard Neville has a long history of getting up the noses of governments.
Neville did battle with 1960s and 70s social mores and the established authorities with his editorship of the bitingly satirical and often profane Oz magazine in Sydney and London.
Neville’s latest, a spoof of John Howard, in which the “PM” is purported to suddenly come to the realisation that the Iraq war is an utter, murderous fraud and apologises to his party room, is quite tame by Oz standards.

Dick Neville was one of the few people I knew at UMBC well before I came to the university.
At the funeral, as I listened to Shannon, Barbara, and Richard talk about him, it was clear that he was the same person to all of them as he was to all of us.
But I know that it was because of the environment in the Neville home, with Dick and Roselyn, and not just because of those genes, that the Neville family reflects the values that Dick considered most significant -- a great thirst for learning and an abiding faith in the human spirit.
