Gender	Male
Died	14 Apr 1471	Battle Of, Barnet, Hertfordshire, England
Notes	Referred to as "The Kingmaker", Richard Neville attempted to wield power through the weaknesses of both Yorkists and Lancastrians kings. He and his father (earl of Salisbury) partnered with the duke of York in his attempt to claim the crown. After helping Edward IV to gain the crown, he turned against Edward and joined forces with his brother George, duke of Clarence in 1469. When that gambit failed he switched sides and allied with Margaret of Anjou to put Henry VI back on the throne. Richard was killed at the battle of Barnet by the forces of Edward IV. http://www.warsoftheroses.com/ born Nov. 22, 1428 died April 14, 1471 , Barnet, Hertfordshire, Eng. byname The Kingmaker English nobleman called, since the 16th century, “the Kingmaker,” in reference to his role as arbiter of royal power during the first half of the Wars of the Roses (1455–85) between the houses of Lancaster and York. He obtained the crown for the Yorkist king Edward IV in 1461 and later restored to power (1470–71) the deposed Lancastrian monarch Henry VI. http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=78171&tocid=0
