Notes par Cecily NEVILLE

Cecily Neville was the eighteenth child of Ralph Neville, 1st earl of Westmorland (c.1364-1425). Her mother was his second wife, Joan Beaufort (d.1440).

By October 1429, she had married Richard, duke of York (1411-x. December 30, 1460), who had been her father's ward. They had been betrothed before she reached her tenth year.

They had at least twelve children between 1439 and 1452, seven of whom survived to adulthood: Anne (1439-January 1476), Edward (1442-1483), Edmund (x.1460), Elizabeth (1444-1503/4), Margaret (May 3, 1446-November 22, 1503), George (d.1478), and Richard (1452-1485).

Cecily went with her husband to France, where he was governor, and to Ireland, where he was lieutenant. He was attainted in 1459 and executed the following year as part of the conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York.

Cecily's eldest surviving son, Edward, became King Edward IV. She is said to have disapproved of his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, his lowborn queen. It was during Edward's reign, in 1470, that Cecily's younger son, George, duke of Clarence, started the rumor that Cecily had been unfaithful to her husband and that Edward was illegitimate.

This story resurfaced after Edward's death, when Cecily's youngest son, Richard of Gloucester, deposed her grandson, Edward V, and had himself crowned Richard III. What Cecily thought of this is unknown, but Richard launched his campaign for the throne from her London house.

In spite of the frequent upheavals during the conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York, Cecily never suffered financially. In 1460, she was briefly placed in the custody of her sister, the duchess of Buckingham, but otherwise enjoyed both her freedom and the income from extensive property. Henry VII, who defeated Richard, married Cecily's granddaughter, Elizabeth of York, and thus was inclined to support her. In 1486, he gave her an annuity and renewed her license to export wool.
