Specialty Definition: Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (1428 - April 14, 1471) is better 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 Henry VI in favor of 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. He married Anne Beauchamp, daughter and eventual heiress of the 15th 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.

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 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.

Warwick Castle

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Warwick castle lies in the town of Warwick in the county of Warwickshire in central England and overlooks the River Avon.

The castle today is a popular tourist attraction and attracts tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world.

History

Legend has it that the first fortifications of significance at Warwick castle were erected by Ethelfleda, daughter of king Alfred the Great in the year 914. And these almost certailly replaced even older wooden fortifications, which had proven innefective against marauding Danes who had sacked the town in the reign of her father. They were part of a network of fortifications built to protect the Kingdom of Mercia.

The remains of these ancient fortifications can still be seen on top of a large mound at the southern end of the castle's courtyard which is known as Ethelfleda's mound. Although most of these remains date from the Norman period.

After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century William the Conqueror appointed Henry de Newburgh as earl of Warwick, and he proceeded to enlarge the mound and created a Norman motte-and-bailey castle.

In the year 1264 the castle was sacked by the forces of Simon de Montford and he imprisoned the then Earl and his countess at Kenilworth (They were supporters of the king against the barons) until a ransom was paid. After the death of this earl the title and the castle was passed to the Beauchamp family, who over the next 180 years were largely responsible for most of the fortifications that can be seen today.

The castle was then owned by various Earls of Warwick (including Richard Neville, the Kingmaker) until 1978 when it was sold to the "Tussaud Group" the company which owns Madame Tussaud's in London, who carried out extensive restorations to the castle and opened it up to the public.
