I've expanded the birth and inheritance section - more to follow. Thewiltog 19:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm including rather a lot of background in this article. It might be better if it went somewhere else - perhaps the Percy-Neville feud, or maybe The Wars of the Roses.

I erroneously stated in an editing comment that Alice Montacute was not descended from Joan of Kent. She is in fact descended, but on her mother's side, not her father's. But I'm not putting the sentence back in -- it's not super relevant here, and if anywhere belongs in Alice's article, not here. In fact I'm also removing some other detail about her father which is extraneous in this article. Loren Rosen (talk) 04:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Chancellor[edit]

Looking at the nearly 1000 year-long List of Lord Chancellors and Lord Keepers, it seems that Richard Neville is the only one to have inherited peerages long before being appointed to the office. All of the other Lords Temporal in the position were the first of their respective titles, and in a large proportion of cases received their ennoblement concurrently with - and because of - said appointment.

Is this worth discussing anywhere? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 19:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
