known as "Warwick the Kingmaker". He was the richest man in England outside the royal family, and he used his wealth and power to help depose the "Lancastrian" Henry VI in favor of the "Yorkist " Edward IV, and then later to place Henry VI back on the throne. Warwick was the eldest son of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury and Alice Montagu, Countess of Salisbury. His younger brother was Sir John Neville, Marquess of Montagu and for a brief time Earl of Northumberland. He married Anne Beauchamp, daughter and eventual heiress of the 14th Earl of Warwick. Thus he controlled two great earldoms, with estates throughout the English Midlands and the Welsh March.  Warwick was a successful military leader, and was instrumental in putting Edward IV of England on the throne.  However, he soon fell out with Edward, who would not listen to his counsel and married an unsuitable woman against his wishes.  In 1469, during the Wars of the Roses, he defeated Edward's forces at the Battle of Edgecote Moor. Warwick had no sons.  His older daughter, Isabel, married George, Duke of Clarence, the king's brother, but Warwick continued to be discontented, feeling that he was losing ground to the Woodville family, relations of Edward IV's new queen.  In desperation, he defected to the Lancastrian cause, and went to France to negotiate with Margaret of Anjou, queen of King Henry VI of England.  As a result, he married off his younger daughter, Anne, to Margaret's son, Edward, Prince of Wales. George, Duke of Clarence, who was also jealous of the Woodvilles, joined his father-in-law in his French exile, but later returned to England and rejoined his brother's faction.  Margaret remained suspicious of Warwick, and insisted that he cement their alliance by returning to England with an army.  He did so, and defeated Edward, temporarily restoring King Henry VI to the throne on October 30.  However, by the time Margaret and her supporters were ready to join him, Warwick (along with his brother and chief supporter the Marquess of Montagu) had been defeated and killed by the returning Edward IV at the Battle of Barnet 1471.  His daughter, Isabel, remained married to Clarence, but Anne Neville, whose husband the Prince of Wales was killed shortly afterwards at the Battle of Tewkesbury, later married Richard III of England.

Without doubt, one of the most outstanding personalities during the Wars of the Roses was Richard Nevill, Earl of Warwick and Salisbury, who was described by Shakespeare in one of his plays as the "plucker down and setter up of kings" and was popularly known as the "Kingmaker."  He earned the title because, as the most powerful of the English nobles he literally had the ability to make and unmake kings. The end of the Hundred Years War with France meant that there were thousands of unemployed, experienced soldiers wandering around England in the 15th century. As the ambitions of the great nobles grew, they began to recruit these men as mercenaries, thus creating their own personal standing armies which could spring into action at relatively short notice.  It was this that made individual nobles so important to the rival claimants to the throne during the Wars of the Roses.

The rise of the Nevills

The Nevills were a very old family from the north of England, but in the two generations before the Kingmaker their influence had increased greatly through a series of brilliant marriages, which had brought them the Earldoms of Warwick and Salisbury.  Another branch of the family held the Earldom of Westmorland.  There can be no better indication of the power that Richard Nevill possessed, than to look at his coat of arms, which is a mass of different quarterings showing both his noble lineage and the fact that he was the heir to the lands and wealth of several prominent families.
