  • Notes 
    • "John (de Neville), Lord Neville, son and heir (a), had writs of livery of his father's lands in England and Scotland, after doing homage, October 1367. He was a captain under his father at the battle of Nevill's Cross, 17 October 1346, and was knighted about April 1360. His life of public service was as active as his father's. He served in Aquitaine, 1366 and the following years, and numerous commissions issued to him, December 1367 onwards. In 1368 (September, October) he was joint ambassador to France. K.G. 1369. In 1369 and 1371 trier of petitions in Parliament; Admiral of the North, July 1370, and in November following joint commissioner to treat with Genoa; steward of the King's household, 1372. In July 1372 he sailed for Brittany on an expedition protracted for want of reinforcements. He was then for several years engaged in Scotland and the Marches. In December 1377 he had a patent of the keepership of Bamburgh Castle for life; and in 1378 licence to castellate Raby and Sheriff Hutton in 1382. He was made keeper of Fronsac Castle, on the Dordogne, 3 June, and Seneschal of Gascony in June 1378. Returning to England, he became Warden of the Marches (as above), and in 1381 conservator of the peace, co. Durham and Sedbergh; joint commissioner to treat of peace with Scotland, May 1383 and March 1386/7. In July 1385 he was under orders to accompany the King to Scotland." [Complete Peerage]

      "He was presumably of age when a recognizance was made to him in January 1351/2. His age of 40 and more at his mother's death on 13 Jan. 1373/4 supports this conclusion." [The Ancestry of Charles II, citation details below.]

      John de Neville and Maud Percy were great-grandparents of Edward IV and Richard III, making them the most recent common ancestors of TNH and Elizabeth II:

      John de Neville (1330-1388) = Maud Percy (d. 1379)
      Ralph de Neville (1364-1425) = Joan Beaufort (1379-1440)
      Cecily Neville (1415-1495) = Richard of York (1411-1460)
      Edward IV (1442-1483) = Elizabeth Woodville (1437-1492)
      Elizabeth of York (1466-1503) = Henry VII (1457-1509)
      Margaret Tudor (1489)-1541) = James IV (1473-1513)
      James V (1512-1542) = Mary of Guise (1515-1560)
      Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587) = Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley (1545-1567)
      James VI and I (1566-1625) = Anne of Denmark (1574-1619)
      Elizabeth of Bohemia (1596-1662) = Frederick V of the Palatine (1596-1632)
      Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714) = Ernest Augustus, Elector of Brunswick-Lüneberg (1629-1698)
      George I (1660-1727) = Sophia Dorothea of Celle (1666-1726)
      George II (1683-1760) = Caroline of Ansbach (1683-1737)
      Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707-1751) = Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719-1772)
      George III (1738-1820) = Charlotte of Mecklenburg (1744-1818)
      Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (1767-1820) = Victoria of Saxe-Coburg (1786-1861)
      Victoria (1819-1901) = Albert of Saxe-Coburg (1819-1861)
      Edward VII (1841-1910) = Alexandra of Denmark (1844-1925)
      George V (1865-1936) = Mary of Teck (1867-1953)
      George VI (1895-1952) = Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (1900-2002)
      Elizabeth II (1926- )

      boldface: monarchs of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom
      italic: monarchs of Scotland
      boldface & italic: James IV and I, king of both

      TNH is therefore 19th cousin once removed to Elizabeth II, no doubt sharing that distinction with literally hundreds of millions of other people.
