Richard Neville , 2nd Baron Latimer Richard Neville , 2nd Baron Latimer ( c . 1468 – c . 28 December 1530 ) of Snape , North Yorkshire , was an English soldier and peer . He fought at the battles of Stoke and Flodden Field . Richard Neville , born about 1468 , was the eldest son of Sir Henry Neville , slain 26 July 1469 at the Battle of Edgecote Moor , and Joan Bourchier ( d . 7 October 1470 ) , daughter of John Bourchier , 1st Baron Berners , by Margery , daughter and heiress of Richard Berners , esquire . He had a brother , Thomas Neville , and a sister , Joan Neville , wife of Sir James Radcliffe . Neville ' s maternal grandfather , John Bourchier , 1st Baron Berners , was the fourth son of William Bourchier , 1st Count of Eu in Normandy , and his wife Anne of Gloucester , daughter of Thomas of Woodstock , youngest son of King Edward III . By her second husband , Edmund Stafford , 5th Earl of Stafford , Anne of Gloucester was the mother of Humphrey Stafford , 1st Duke of Buckingham . On his father ' s side , Richard Neville was the grandson of George Neville , 1st Baron Latimer ( d . 30 or 31 December 1469 ) , and Elizabeth Beauchamp , the daughter of Richard de Beauchamp , 13th Earl of Warwick . Career . When he was only a year old , Richard Neville inherited the barony together with lands in 24 counties , including Snape Castle in Richmondshire , at the death of his grandfather , George Neville , 1st Baron Latimer , on 30 or 31 December 1469 . His wardship and marriage were purchased for £1000 in May 1470 by his great uncle , Thomas Bourchier , Archbishop of Canterbury , while his lands remained in the hands of the crown . He was made a Knight of the Bath on 17 January 1478 . Neville had livery of his lands without proof of age on 8 May 1491 . From 12 August of that year until 3 November 1529 he was summoned to Parliament by writs directed to ' Ricardo Nevill de Latimer chivaler ' . However in about 1494 his inheritance was contested by Robert Willoughby , 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke , who although summoned to the 1491 Parliament by writs directed to ' Roberto Willughby de Broke chivaler ' , nonetheless claimed that he was entitled to the Latimer barony and lands through his great - grandmother ' s brother , John Willoughby . Neville ultimately prevailed , and a herald recorded that ' the Lord Brooke had made a wrong claim ' . Neville ' s father - in - law , Sir Humphrey Stafford ( c . 1426 / 7 – 8 July 1486 ) of Grafton , Worcestershire , was a staunch supporter of King Richard III . After Richard ' s defeat at Bosworth , Stafford and Francis Lovell , 1st Viscount Lovell , fled to sanctuary at Colchester . In April 1486 they attempted to stir up rebellion against the new King , Henry VII , with Stafford trying to raise forces in the West Midlands , and Lovell in Yorkshire . When the rebellion collapsed , on 11 May 1486 Stafford again fled to sanctuary , this time at Culham , but was not allowed to claim the privilege , and for his part in the insurrection was executed at Tyburn on 8 July 1486 . In contrast , Neville appears to have supported the new regime . According to Ford , Neville ' s strengths were ' loyalty to the crown and military service ' . On 16 June 1487 he fought at the Battle of Stoke with Henry VII ' s forces which put down the rising of the pretender , Lambert Simnel . He served with the army in the north after the Earl of Northumberland was assassinated in 1489 , and was with the King ' s forces in Brittany in 1492 . In 1499 he attended the trial of the pretender , Perkin Warbeck . In 1513 he was with the Earl of Surrey at the Battle of Flodden Field , where he was in the vanguard . In September 1522 the Earl of Shrewsbury consulted him regarding war against the Duke of Albany . Neville also served in non - military capacities . He was appointed to a number of commissions , and is recorded as being in attendance at festivities at court in 1488 and 1499 . In 1503 he was among those who escorted King Henry VII ' s daughter , Margaret Tudor , between Tadcaster and York on her journey to Scotland to wed James IV . In November 1515 he was among those present at Westminster Abbey when Thomas Wolsey was made Cardinal . On 13 July 1530 Neville was one of the signatories to the letter petitioning Pope Clement VII to grant Henry VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon . He died shortly before 28 December 1530 at Snape Castle , and was buried with his first wife , Anne Stafford , in the church of St . Michael at Well , North Yorkshire . Marriages and issue . Richard Neville married firstly , about 1490 , Anne Stafford , daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford of Grafton , Worcestershire , and Katherine Fray ( 12 May 1482 ) , the daughter of Sir John Fray , Chief Baron of the Exchequer , by Agnes Danvers ( d . June 1478 ) , the daughter of Sir John Danvers ( died c . 1448 ) , by whom he had six sons and six daughters : By licence dated 5 July 1502 Richard Neville married secondly , Margaret ( d . 16 December 1521 ) , the widow of Sir James Strangways .
