1st Earl of Westmoreland, 6th Baron Raby, K. G.

Neville, Ralph, 1st Earl of Westmorland (1364?-1425), English soldier and statesman. Born the 4th Baron Neville of Raby, Neville was knighted in 1380 and created earl of Westmorland in 1397 by Richard II in recognition of his assistance to Richard against the lords appellant (a coterie of noblemen who had accused Richard’s supporters of treason).

Neville rebelled against Richard II in 1399 and assisted Henry IV in gaining the crown, for which he was granted the office of marshal of England for life. After the defeat of Henry Percy, 1st earl of Northumberland, and his son Sir Henry Percy, called Hotspur, in their revolt against Henry IV in 1403 at the Battle of Shrewsbury, Westmorland was given the wardenship of the west marches. In the revolt of 1405, in which Archbishop Richard Scrope and Thomas Mowbray, 3rd earl of Nottingham, accused Henry of treason, Neville took Scrope and Mowbray prisoners. Neville was thereafter constantly occupied in negotiations to keep the peace on the Scottish border, and was one of the executors of Henry V's will and regent for his son.

Neville was succeeded in the earldom by his grandson, Ralph Neville, who died in 1484. The title remained with his descendants until it reverted to the crown with the condemnation in 1571 of Charles Neville, 6th earl of Westmorland, for his part in the attempted liberation of Mary, Queen of Scots.
