Description
English: Detail from monument to Margaret Neville (d.1559), daughter of Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland and wife of Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland (1526-1563) of Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire. Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bottesford, Leicestershire. Arms of Sir Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland, KG, as shown on his surviving Garter stall plate in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The arms are: Quarterly of 4:
  • 1&4: Gules, a saltire argent ("Neville modern"/FitzMeldred). The heiress Isabel de Neville (d.pre-1254) married Robert FitzMeldred of Raby, whose descendants adopted their mother's surname of Neville but adopted their father's arms of FitzMeldred Gules, a saltire argent;
  • 2: Arms of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent (6th son of King Edward I by his 2nd wife Margaret of France): Royal arms of King Edward I within a bordure argent for difference. Neville was descended from Edmund of Woodstock via Anne Holland (wife of John Neville, Baron Neville), a daughter of John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter, whose paternal grandmother was Joan Plantagenet the "Fair Maid of Kent", the daughter and heiress of Edmund of Woodstock. Joan Plantagenet's husband Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent was granted the arms of his father-in-law Edmund of Woodstock in lieu of his paternal arms. Neville would quarter the arms of his prestigious royal ancestor Edmund of Woodstock rather than the same arms borne by his less prestigious noble ancestor Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent, Woodstock's son-in-law.
