  • SIR JOHN MARKHAM married the daughter and heir of Sir George Neville, who on the female side was of royal descent. Her mother, the daughter of Sir Humphrey FitzLewes, was a grand-daughter and coheir of Edmund Beaufort, Marquess and Earl of Somerset (slain at the battle of St. Alban's), the grandson of John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster (third son of King Edward III.) and Catherine Swynford, daughter of Sir Payn Roet, Guyenne King at Arms. Independent of the brilliancy of this alliance, considerable property also accrued to the family in consequence of it, for the lady herself was her father's heir, as was her mother of Sir Humphrey FitzLewes. ....

"As for Mary Fitz Lewis' 2nd husband, Sir George Neville, my file notes
indicate that he was an illegitimate son of Sir Thomas Neville, and that he was an Esquire of the Body to King Richard III. I assume he is the same person as Sir George Neville "the Bastard" who was living on the Continent as a Yorkist exile in 1499 [Reference: Fisher, Hist. of England (1906): 88-89]. I have no further particulars regarding either Sir George Neville or his wife, Mary Fitz Lewis, Countess Rivers."
