{192c} Of coarse, I pay no attention to Henry’s proclamation, published
in Drake’s _Eboracum_, p. 122, which is so incorrect, as to assert, that
the Earl of Lincoln, the Earl of Surrey, and Lord Lovel, were slain
there.
{192d} _Rot. Parl._ 1 Henry VII., vol. vi. See Appendix No. III.
{192e} See 4 Lel. _Coll._ p. 210. He also attended Henry VII. in his
first progress into Yorkshire. See 4 Lel. _Coll._ p. 186.
{193a} Sir John Neville (commonly called John Lord Neville), was the
brother and heir presumptive of Ralph Neville, second Earl of
Westmoreland.—Dugdale’s _Baronage_, vol. i. pp. 290, 299, 300; Lel.
_Coll._ vol. ii. p. 715 [498]; act of attainder, 1 Edward IV. (1461),
_Rot. Parl._ vol. v. p. 476; act of reversal of the attainder, 12th and
13th Edward IV., _Rot. Parl._ vol. vi. p. 24. A remarkable error exists
in Hall’s, Holinshed’s, and Fabyan’s _Chronicles_, in which it is stated,
that the Earl of Westmoreland perished at the battle of Towton; but, in
fact, the first Earl of Westmoreland of that family, died in 4th Henry
VI., and the second Earl of Westmoreland, in 2nd Richard III.—Dugdale’s
_Baronage_, vol. i. pp. 290, 299, 300. Sir John Neville, commonly called
John Lord Neville, married Anne, the widow of his nephew, John Neville
(the son and heir apparent of Ralph, second Earl of Westmoreland), who
died before his father.—See Chap. VI.
{193b} It is stated by Dugdale, in vol. i. p. 248, that John Tibtoft,
Earl of Worcester, married her niece, Cecily, daughter of Richard
Neville, Earl of Salisbury, and widow of Henry de Beauchamp, Duke of
Warwick, and was executed on Tower Hill, in 1470; but that is scarcely
reconcileable with what Dugdale afterwards states of his marriage in vol.
ii. p. 41.
{194a} He is called William Bonvile, Lord Harrington, in the _Catalogue
of Nobility_, by Ralph Brooke, p. 205; and William Lord Harrington, by
Dugdale, in his _Baronage_, vol. iii. p. 236; and William Lord Bonvile,
in the same work, vol. i. pp. 581 and 585. He was the son of William
Bonvile, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heiress of William Lord
Harrington, and the grandson of William Lord Bonvile, who was put to
death by Queen Margaret and the Lancastrian leaders, after the second
battle of St. Alban’s, in 1461.—See Chaps. IV. and VI.
{194b} _Catalogue of Nobility_, _&c._, by Ralph Brooke, p. 174; and
Dugdale’s _Bar._ vol. i. p. 304. A descrepancy is, however, apparent in
Dugdale’s work, as he, in another place, erroneously states, that the
Earl of Oxford married Katherine Neville—vol. i. p. 198.
