Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland (1364-1425), was a prominent English nobleman and military leader during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Born into the influential Neville family, he was the son of John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby, and Maud Percy. Ralph Neville's rise to prominence was marked by his loyalty to the English crown and his strategic marital alliances, which significantly bolstered his family's power and influence.

In 1397, Ralph Neville was created the Earl of Westmorland by King Richard II, a title that recognized his substantial contributions to the monarchy and his military prowess. He played a crucial role in the political and military affairs of his time, including the suppression of the Percy Rebellion and his involvement in the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. His loyalty to the Lancastrian cause during the turbulent period of the Wars of the Roses further cemented his status as a key figure in English nobility.

Ralph Neville's personal life was equally notable. He was married twice, first to Margaret Stafford and later to Joan Beaufort, the daughter of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford. Through his marriage to Joan Beaufort, Ralph Neville fathered a large and influential family. Together, they had twelve children, many of whom played significant roles in the political and social spheres of England. Their children included Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, who became a prominent Yorkist leader, and Cecily Neville, who married Richard, Duke of York, and was the mother of two kings, Edward IV and Richard III.

The legacy of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, is marked by his contributions to the English nobility, his military achievements, and his extensive progeny, who continued to shape the course of English history for generations. His life and lineage underscore the intricate web of alliances and power dynamics that characterized the English aristocracy during the medieval period.
