John Neville II

Sir John Neville (died 1541), of Chevet in Yorkshire, was an English landowner, courtier, soldier, administrator and politician who was executed for treason under King Henry VIII.

[2] Early on he entered royal service, attending the funeral of King Henry VII in 1509 as a Yeoman of the Horse, and in that year he married a Yorkshire heiress.

In the Parliament of 1529 he filled the vacancy left when John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer, moved to the House of Lords and probably retained the seat in 1536.

In 1540 he was made a Gentleman Pensioner but the next year was arrested and charged with treason for failing to report a conspiracy against the Crown.

[1] By August 1509, he had married Elizabeth, the widow of Sir Thomas Tempest (died 1507) of Bracewell then in Yorkshire, and the daughter and coheiress of William Bosvile, of Chevet.
