England · House / House of Neville. Chronological records rendered directly from the World History Database.
Anne Neville inherited the Lordship of Glamorgan.
Females could not exercise the Lordship in their own right, so the title immediately transferred to Isabels husband, the Duke of Clarence.
On his death in February 1478, the title passed to Anne and was henceforth exercised by her husband, Richard of Gloucester.
The title had been held by her father and on his death had passed to Annes elder sister Isabel Neville.
Edward V and his siblings were declared illegitimate and Richard ascended the throne as King Richard III
After the death of her only son, Anne Neville effectively adopted Edward, Earl of Warwick, the mutual nephew of Richard III and Anne Neville. Richard III made the boy his heir presumptive, probably in deference to Anne Neville's wishes
