He had been See also:joint See also:warden of the See also:west See also:march in 1386, and was reappointed for a new See also:term in 1390. In 1391 he was put on the See also:commission which undertook the duties of See also:- CONSTABLE (0. Fr. connestable, Fr. connetable, Med.

Henry of See also:Lancaster, afterwards Henry IV., whom he joined on his landing in See also:Yorkshire in 1399. He already held the castles of Brancepeth, Raby, Middleham and See also:Sheriff See also:Hutton when he received from Henry IV, the See also:honour and lordship of See also:Richmond for See also:life. The only rivals of the Nevilles in the See also:north were the Percies, whose See also:power was broken at See also:Shrewsbury in 1403. Both See also:marches had been in their hands, but the warden-See also:ship of the west marches was now assigned to Westmorland, whose See also:influence was also See also:paramount in the See also:east, which was under the nominal wardenship of the See also:young See also:Prince John, after-wards duke of See also:Bedford. Westmorland had prevented North. umberland from marching to reinforce Hotspur in 1403, and before embarking on a new revolt he sought to secure his enemy, surrounding, but too See also:late, one of See also:Sir Ralph See also:Eure's castles where the earl had been staying. In May the Percies were in revolt, with Thomas See also:Mowbray, earl See also:marshal, and See also:Archbishop See also:Scrope. Westmorland met them on See also:Shipton See also:Moor, near See also:York, on the 29th of May 1405, and suggested a parley between the leaders. By pretending See also:accord with the archbishop, the earl induced him to allow his followers to disperse. Scrope and Mowbray were then seized and handed over to Henry at See also:Pontefract on the 3rd of See also:January. The improbabilities of this narrative have led some writers to think, in See also:face of contemporary authorities, that Scrope and Mowbray must have surrendered voluntarily. If Westmorland betrayed them he at least had no See also:share in their See also:execution. Thenceforward he was busily engaged in negotiating with the Scots and keeping the See also:peace on the See also:borders. He did not See also:play the See also:part assigned to him by See also:Shakespeare in Henry V., for during Henry's See also:absence he remained in See also:charge of the north, and was a member of Bedford's See also:council. He consolidated the strength of his family by See also:marriage alliances. His daughter See also:Catherine married in 1412 John Mowbray, second duke of See also:Norfolk, See also:brother and See also:heir of the earl marshal, who had been executed after Shipton Moor; See also:Anne married See also:Humphrey, first duke of See also:- BUCKINGHAM

He was a member of the council of the north in 1569 when he joined Thomas Percy, 7th earl of Northumberland, and his See also:uncle See also:Christopher Neville, in the Catholic rising of the north, which had as its See also:object the liberation of See also:Mary, See also:queen of Scots. On the collapse of the See also:ill-organized insurrection Westmorland fled with his brother earl over the borders, and eventually to the See also:Spanish See also:Netherlands, where he lived in See also:receipt of a See also:pension from See also:- PHILIP
