Alice De Montagu

  Noted events in her life were:

• source. Mary-Ann Cook who writes:
The only child of Thomas Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, and his first wife Eleanor Holland. Alice`s stepmother, her father`s second wife, was Alice Chaucer, who married as her third husband William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk. This is yet another twist of tangled connections in the period.
Alice married in 1420 at the age of fourteen Richard Neville, eldest son of Ralph, Earl of Westmorland and Joan Beaufort, his second wife. Alice`s father died in 1428. Alice had already given birth to two daughters, and in this year she gave her husband a son, Richard, who would in time come to prominence as Earl of Warwick. Three more sons and three more daughters would be born of the marriage.
After her father`s death Alice and her husband were granted the title Earl and Countess of Salisbury. After Joan Beaufort`s death in 1440 the Salisburys spent most of their time at Middleham castle in Yorkshire, one of the castles left to Richard by his mother. Most of Alice's time would have been spent in running her household, no light task given the number of retainers in a great lord`s household. All this changed in September 1459, when she appears to have been involved in plotting on behalf of her brother-in-law York. After the battle of Ludford Bridge, Alice, like her husband, was attainted and forced to flee. She eventually arrived in Ireland where York gave her shelter. It was the spring of 1460 before she was able to rejoin her husband in Calais, after being escorted there by her son Warwick.
After her husband`s death at the battle of Wakefield, Alice was confirmed in the Salisbury estates plus her husband`s Yorkshire lands and castles. She died in 1463. She was buried in Bisham Abbey in Buckinghamshire, with her husband and her second son, Thomas, both killed at Wakefield. Their bodies were transferred from Pontefract and all three were buried together in a magnificent ceremony.

Alice married Richard Neville. (Richard Neville was born in 1400 in Raby Castle, Durham, County Durham England and died on 31 Dec 1460 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire England.). The cause of his death was (in battle).
