In 1251 he and his brother Geoffrey were taking venison in the forest of Galtres for 
the King's Christmas larder. He did fealty, 7 May 1254, after the death of his 
grandmother Isabel de Neville, and had livery of the lands of his grandfather Robert 
FitzMaldred. He was on active service in Wales in August 1257. Sheriff of 
Northumberland, January-November 1258. In April of that year he was in Scotland on 
the King's business with William le Latimer, sheriff of Yorks. He was acting as justice 
of the Forest beyond Trent, June 1258; and appointed justice, during pleasure, June 
1261; chief of the eyre in Yorks, &c., March 1262. Neville stood firmly for the King in 
his troubles with the barons, and was made captain for the defence of Yorks, 12, and 
sheriff 13 June 1263. He was among the magnates, headed by Prince Edward, who 
declared themselves equally willing with the King to accept the arbitration of the King 
of France, at Windsor, 16 December 1263. After the barons' victory at Lewes (14 May 
1264), he was summoned, with 5 other Northern barons, 3 June 1264, to give counsel 
at a meeting in London, and on 18 July to come with horses and arms to repel a 
threatened invasion. In 1267-68 he sat with Henry de Bratton and others as 
commissioners to hear pleas of disinherited persons. In 1275 he was chief assessor of 
the 15th in Northumberland and Westmorland; and was present at the Council at 
Westminster, 12 November 1276, which decided to proceed to war against Llewelyn, 
being summoned for the consequent campaign. 

He married, before 13 April 1273, as his 2nd wife, Ida, widow of Sir Roger BERTRAM, 
of Mitford (see BERTRAM), and died shortly before 20 August 1282. His widow had 
writs for assignment of dower October 1282 and May 1283, and married, 3rdly, before 
8 May 1285, John FITZMARMADUKE, of Horden and Ravensholm, co. Durham, who 
died shortly before 16 August 1311. She was living 18 May 1315. [Complete Peerage
