The Gascoigne-Neville pedigree that Will Johnson has set forth is
actually quite sound. This descent is covered in depth by my book,
Magna Carta Ancestry (2005), pp. 364-366, a copy of which information
is presented below. For those interested in obtaining a copy of the
Magna Carta Ancestry book, please contact me privately.
One note of correction: In his post, Mr. Johnson identified Sir Ralph
Neville, of Oversley, Warwickshire, died 1458, as a son of Sir Ralph
Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, by his 2nd wife, Joan Beaufort. This
is wrong. Sir Ralph (died 1458) was actually the son of the elder Sir
Ralph by his 1st wife, Margaret Stafford, as indicated below, not his
2nd wife, Joan Beaufort.
