Geoffrey de Neville (died 1193)

Origins

Marriage and children

• Henry de Neville, son and heir, who married a certain Alice but died childless when his sole heir became his sister Isabel.
• Isabel de Neville, sister and heiress of her brother, who married firstly Robert FitzMaldred of Raby Castle, Staindrop in County Durham. She is believed to be represented by one of the surviving female effigies in Staindrop Church. Their children adopted her surname in lieu of their patronymic, but retained their own arms of Gules, a saltire argent, and became the great Neville family prominent in British history, the senior representative in a direct male line surviving today in the person of Christopher Nevill, 6th Marquess of Abergavenny. She married secondly Gilbert de Brakenberg. By Robert FitzMaldred she had children including:
• *Geoffrey "de Neville", eldest son and heir, who adopted his maternal surname in lieu of his patronymic and married a certain Joan. He predeceased his mother, possibly also his father, but left a son Robert de Neville, Sheriff of Yorkshire and Sheriff of Northumberland and heir to his grandmother Isabel de Neville.
