Sir Ralph Neville Knight

  Information about this person:

• Background Information. ¹⁴¹
Sir Ralph de Neville in Apr 1221 was forgiven a fine by his brother Robert for the King's letter to the Abbot of Peterborough about Robert's relief; and in 1224 the sheriff of Lincs was notified that Sir Ralph de Neville, the King's Knight, was being sent to Jersey. He succeeded his nephew Ralph (son of his elder brother Robert), either before 1227 or before 1230, when he defended his right to land in Muston of which his father Ralph was siesed at his death. It is, so far, uncertain whether he, or the Ralph of 1189 and 1201 (his father), was the giver, as Ralph son of Ralph de Neville, of stone from his quarry of Filey to Bridlington Priory, dated by Farrer 1194-1230.
