Ralph de Nevill, 2nd baron, was summoned to parliament from 20 November,1331, to 20 January, 1336. This nobleman, in the time of his father, wasretained by indenture to serve the Lord Henry de Percy for life, in peaceand war, against all men except the king, with twenty men-at-arms,whereof five to be knights receiving £100 sterling per annum. The disputewith the prior of Durham, regarding the presentation of the stag wasrevived and finally set to rest in the abandonment of his claim by thisLord Nevill. The matter is thus detailed by Dugdale: "In this yearlikewise, doing his fealty to William, prior of Durham, upon Lammas Day,for the manor of Raby, he told him, 'that he would offer the stag as hisancestors had done; saving that, whereas his father required that theprior's servants should be set aside at that time and his own serve intheir stead, he would be content that his should attend together withthose of the prior's; and, whereas his father insisted that his servantsshould only be admitted at dinner, he stood upon it that his should bethere entertained the whole day and likewise the morrow at breakfast.'Whereupon the prior made answer, 'that none of his ancestors were ever soadmitted and that he would rather quit the stag than suffer any newcustom to the prejudice of their church.' But, to this Ralph replied,'that he would perform the whole service or none and put the trial of hisright upon the country.' The prior, therefore, knowing him to be sopowerful and that the country could not displease him, declined theoffer; howbeit, at length, to gain his favour, in regard he had no smallinterest at court and might do him a kindness or a displeasure, wascontent for that one time he should perform it as he pleased so that itmight not be drawn into example afterwards; and, to the purpose proposed,that indentures should be made betwixt them. Whereupon the Lord Nevillbrought but few with him and those more for the honour of the prior thana burthen; and so, shortly after dinner, took his leave, but left one ofhis servants to lodge there all night and to take his breakfast there onthe next day; 'protesting that, being both a son and tenant to thechurch, he would not be burthensome to it, in respect it would be noadvantage to himself but might much damnifie him if he should bring withhim as great a train as he would, saying, 'what doth a breakfast signifyto me? nothing. And likewise, that if the prior would shew that he had noright to what he so claimed, he would freely recede therefrom; and if hehad a right, he would accept a composition for it rather than beburthensome to the convent; but if they should put him to get his rightby law, then he would not abate anything thereof.' Whereupon inquirybeing made amongst the eldest monks of the house, they affirmed that,being of eight years standing when his father was before repulsed, theyhad often seen the stag offered, and that he never staid dinner but whenthe prior invited him, and some ancient men of the country testified asmuch; also, that so soon as the stag was brought, they carried him to thekitchen, and those who brought him were taken into the hall to breakfast,as they that bring their rents used to be.

"Moreover, when it happened any of the Lords Nevill to be desired to staydinner with the prior, his cook was admitted into the kitchen to preparea dish for him; so, likewise, another servant in the cellar to choose hisdrink; and in like manner, some other at the gate who knew his servantsand followers, merely to let them in and keep out others who, underpretence of being servants, might then intrude. But this was only done bythe prior, as out of courtesy and respect, and not at all out of right."

In the 7th Edward III [1314], Lord Nevill was one of the commissionerssent into Scotland, there to see that the covenants between Edward deBaliol, King of Scots, and his royal master were ratified by theparliament of that kingdom; and the next year he was joined with Henry dePercy in the wardenship of the marches of Northumberland, Cumberland, andWestmoreland. He had, subsequently, other high and confidentialemployments and was constantly engaged in the wars of Scotland andFrance. His lordship m. Alice, dau. of of Sir Hugh de Audley, and by her(who m 2ndly, Ralph, Lord Greystock, and d. 1374) had issue, John,Thomas, Robert, Alexander, Ralph, Euphemia, Catherine, Margaret, Isabel,and Eleanor.

He d. in 1367 and was buried in the church of Durham, on the south sidethereof, being the first layman that had sepulture there, which favour heobtained from the prior and convent for a vestment of red velvet, richlyembroidered with gold silk, great pearls, and images of the saintsstanding in tabernacles by him given to St Cuthbert. His body beingbrought in a chariot drawn by seven horses to the boundary of thechurchyard and thence conveyed upon the shoulders of knights into themiddle of the church where the abbot of St. Mary's in York (by reason ofthe bishop's absence and impotency of the dean), performed the office ofthe dead, and celebrated the morrow mass, at which were offered eighthorses, viz., four for the war, with four men armed, and all theirharness and habiliments; and four others for peace; as also three clothsof gold, of blue colour, interwoven with flowers. Four of those horseswere redeemed after the funeral by Sir John, his son and heir, for 100marks. His lordship was s. by his eldest son, Sir John de Nevill.
