  Berkshire History: Biographies: Richard Neville (1428-1471), Earl of Warwick
Commonly known as the 'Kingmaker,' Richard Neville was the eldest son of his namesake, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, by Alice daughter and heiress of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury.
Richard’s Earldom of Warwick came from his marriage, at the age of six, to the sister of the last of the Beauchamp family who held that title and was, at that time, the richest and most powerful Earldom in England.
Warwick, in spite of his great reputation, was merely a selfish baron of the worst type of the bastard-feudal age of the fifteenth century.

Warwick was attainted as a "traitor" in 1470, and was 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.
By the time Margaret and her supporters were ready to join Warwick from France, Warwick (along with his brother and chief supporter John Neville) had been defeated and killed by the returning Edward IV at the Battle of Barnet in 1471.
