Notes

  • This lineage developed originally from the name of Richard De Novavilla, Latin for New Town.  Due to sound changes in Frankish Latin, this became Neuville (Newtown, Newton) and in The English Norman usage, Neville.

    The Tudor Place genealogy comments:

    ====================
    Richard "Teutonicus" De NOVAVILLA
    Born: ABT 1000, Neuvile, Normandy, France

    Notes: was called De NovaVilla, or De Neuville from his fief in Neuville sur Tocque in the department of the Orne, arrondissement of Argenton, and the canton of Grace. A cousin of William the Conqueror on his maternal side and he left four sons; Gilbert, Robert, Richard and Ralph.

    From Gilbert De Nevill descends the houses of Westmoreland, Warwick, Latimer and Abergavenny.

    ====================

    Very similar names in every generation and closely related lineages intermarrying in every generation seems to create confusion for the researchers trying to reconstruct these lines.  Several Maud Nevilles and Joan Nevilles make the generational and marriage relations difficult to sort out and standard sources differ on certain individuals who married whom in the 1300s and 1400s among the Norman nobility.

    The Le Strange Genealogy at Tudor Place online lists the family members of Ankaret Le Strange as follows:

    Ankaret Le STRANGE (B. Strange of Blackmere)
    Born: ABT 1361,  Died: 1413
    Father: John Le STRANGE (4º B. Strange of Blackmere)
    Mother: Mary FITZALAN
    Married 1: Richard TALBOT (4º B. Talbot) 23 Aug 1383
    Children:
    1. John TALBOT (1º E. Shrewsbury
    2. Gilbert TALBOT of Irchingfield (5º B. Strange of Blackmere)
    3. Mary TALBOT
    4. Richard TALBOT (Archbishop of Dublin)
    5. George TALBOT
    6. Anne TALBOT (C. Devon)
    7. Thomas TALBOT of Wrockwardine (Sir Knight) (had no Children) (d. 1419/20)
    8. William TALBOT
    9. Alice TALBOT
    10. Elizabeth TALBOT
    Married 2: Thomas NEVILLE (6° B. Furnival) 4 Jul 1401, Whitechurch, England
    Children:
    1. Maud NEVILLE (B. Strange of Blackmere / C. Shrewsbury)
    2. Joan NEVILLE
    --  http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/STRANGE.htm

    Some report that Ankaret's second husband was Thomas Neville, 5th Lord Furnival, who also had a daughter named Joan.  This same Tudor Place source reports uncertainty about who Thomas and Ankaret Neville's daughter Joan married.

    ====================
    Joan NEVILLE

    Notes: There is no clear agreement who Joan married. Burke (peerage under Furnival) says she may have married Hugh Cokesey or Hamon De Belknap. The history of Burton Agnes implies she married Walter Griffith and lies in the church there.

    Father: Thomas NEVILLE (6º B. Furnival)
    Mother: Ankaret Le STRANGE (B. Strange of Blackmere)
    --  http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/NEVILLE1.htm#Joan NEVILLE1
    ====================

    The information above shows Ankaret and Thomas Neville had two daughters, Maud Neville and Joan Neville.  But in this Tudor Place genealogy, on the details for Maud, it states that her mother was Joan Furnival, another wife of Thomas Neville 6th Lord Furnival.  It further reports that Maud married John Talbot, first Earl of Shrewsbury.  But this is Ankaret's son, with her other husband Richard Talbot, as reported above!  This would mean she married her step brother.  I know of cases where this has happened even in current American society.

    Maud NEVILLE (B. Le Strange/C.Shrewsbury)
    Born: ABT 1392 Died: BEF 1433
    Buried: Worksop Priory, Nottinghamshire, England
    Father: Thomas NEVILLE (6º B. Furnival)
    Mother: Joan FURNIVAL (B. Furnival)
    Married: John TALBOT (1º E. Shrewsbury) BEF 12 Mar 1407
    Children:
    1. John TALBOT (2º E. Shrewsbury)
    2. Christopher TALBOT (Sir Knight)
    3. Joan TALBOT
    4. Thomas TALBOT (d. before his father, Bourdeaux)
    --  http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/NEVILLE1.htm#Maud (Matilda) NEVILLE

    Both Thomas Neville and Ankaret Le Strange had been married twice, complicating their family structures.  So had Ankaret's first husband John Talbot been married before he married Ankaret.
