George Nevill, 5th Baron BergavennyKG,
PC (c.1469 – 1535), the family name often written Neville, was an English nobleman and courtier who held the office of
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
As a second cousin of the new Queen,
Anne Nevill, he attended the coronation of King
Richard III in 1483 when, despite his young age, he was knighted. Having succeeded to his father's peerage and estates in 1492,[1] he achieved prominence fighting against the Cornish rebels in 1497 at the
Battle of Blackheath.[3] In 1497 he took his place in the
House of Lords and became involved in national affairs, being appointed to the privy council and in regular attendance at court. However, in 1506 he fell into serious trouble for keeping an illegal private army, being fined the immense amount of £100,000 and subjected to a travel ban. When Henry VIII became king in 1509, the fine was cancelled and a pardon granted. By 1512, he was back on the council and in 1513 was elected to the
Order of the Garter. In that year he served in the expedition to capture
Tournai and then to relieve
Guînes.[1]
The trial and execution in 1521 of his father-in-law
Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, led to his own imprisonment for a year in the
Tower of London. After admitting he had concealed the duke's treason, he was stripped of all his offices, fined 10,000 marks and had to sell his house to the king. He was then pardoned, being allowed to continue serving at court, in Parliament and in war, but regarded with suspicion. In 1530 he signed the petition asking
Pope Clement VII to dissolve Henry VIII's marriage to
Catherine of Aragon and was allowed to buy back his house.[1] At the coronation of
Anne Boleyn in 1533, he once again was Chief Larderer and was allowed to officiate.[3]
On 4 June 1535, he made his will at
Eridge in Sussex and died on 13 or 14 June.[1] He was buried at
Birling,
Kent,[6] with his heart interred at
Mereworth.[6]
Margaret Nevill, who married first John Cheyne (died 1544), eldest son of Sir
Thomas Cheyne, and secondly
Henry Poole, of
Ditchling.
Dorothy Nevill (died 1559), who married, as his first wife,
William Brooke, 10th Baron Cobham, with whom she had a daughter, Frances Brooke, who married first Thomas Coppinger (1546–1580), and secondly Edward Becher.[13]
Ursula Nevill, who married Sir
Warham St Leger, second cousin once removed of her brother-in-law Sir John St Leger.
Mary, Catherine, Margaret and Dorothy were married to heirs, whose
wardships their father had acquired.[14]
He married fourthly his mistress Mary Brooke, the aunt of his son-in-law William Brooke, who was pregnant at his death.[1] with a daughter whose name is unknown.[15] Mary was the daughter of
Thomas Brooke, 8th Baron Cobham, and his first wife Dorothy, daughter of Sir
Henry Heydon, of
Baconsthorpe, and his wife Anne, daughter of Sir
Geoffrey Boleyn, of Hever. This made her a second cousin of Queen Anne Boleyn.[10]
