Notities over Dorothy NEVILLE

Dorothy Neville was the second youngest daughter of George Neville, 3rd Baron Bergavenny (c.1469-June 13, 1535/6) by his third wife, Mary Stafford (c.1495-before 1530). The house her family preferred to live in, called Comfort, was located at Birlin, Kent, six miles from Cobham Hall.

She was betrothed to Lord Cobham's son, William Brooke (November 1, 1527-March 6, 1597), later 10th baron Cobham, on June 4, 1535 and they were married in 1545. She had a dowry of £400. At the end of 1545, she went to Calais with her husband but she was sent back to England in 1546 while William went on to Boulogne.

According to David McKeen's A Memory of Honour: the life of William Brooke, Lord Cobham, Dorothy had offended the Brookes by behaving badly to Lady Cobham, her mother-in-law. In London, she lived in the Paget household, where she kept up a little home of her own on an allowence of £66 13s. 4d. William visited her there on his leaves.

When the Pagets left London, it is unclear where Dorothy went, but it was at the house of Reginald Peckham in Yaldham, Kent that she gave birth to her only child, Frances, on July 31, 1549. Most records agree that the marriage was not happy. Dorothy and William had separated by 1553.

In 1554, when William was arrested for his part in Wyatt's Rebellion, his wife is said to have been responsible for his pardon. Certainly her brother, Henry, by then Lord Bergavenny, interceded to secure Brooke's release. Well before 1554, Dorothy had close personal experience with executions. Her uncle, Sir Edward Neville and her aunt's husband, Lord Montagu, were executed for treason in 1538 and her sister Mary's husband (see below) was executed for murder in 1541. The last year of her life, Dorothy lived at Cobham Hall while her husband lived in London, with the possible exception of July 18-21, when the queen paid a visit. Dorothy died there and was given a splendid funeral on October 4,1559.
