In 1465, the Nevills must have thought they’d reached the pinnacle of power and influence in England. Richard Nevill was the king’s right-hand man and married to the richest woman in the kingdom; John Nevill was an accomplished soldier who’d done much to stabilize the new dynasty; and George Nevill was not only chancellor but newly enthroned as Archbishop of York. The Nevill women were as active as their male counterparts. As sisters and wives, daughters and daughters-in-laws, they had the ears of the elite in England and were not afraid of wielding their influence. But it was not long before cracks in the most powerful family in England began to show.

K.L. Clark’s research of the Nevill family and the Wars of the Roses spans more than a decade. She has presented two papers on the Wars of the Roses to the Richard III Society and writes the popular blog A Nevill Feast.
