Notes about George NEVILLE

George Neville or Nevill, 5th and de jure 3rd Baron Bergavenny KG, PC (c.1469 - 1535/6) was an English courtier. He held the office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

George Neville was born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, the son of George Neville, 4th Baron Bergavenny, by his first wife, Margaret Fenne (d. 28 September 1485), daughter of Hugh Fenne, sub-treasurer of England. Margaret was born about 1444 at Scoulton Burdeleys in Norfolk.

His younger brother Sir Thomas Nevill was a trusted councillor of King Henry VIII and Speaker of the House of Commons. His youngest brother, the courtier Sir Edward Neville, was executed by Henry in 1538 for treason.

Neville fought against the Cornish rebels on 17 June 1497 at the Battle of Blackheath. At the coronation of King Henry VIII in 1509, he held the office of Chief Larderer. On 18 December 1512, King Henry VIII granted him the castle and lands of Abergavenny. From 1521 to 1522 he was imprisoned on suspicion of conspiring with his father-in-law, the Duke of Buckingham.
