Biography
Alan; co-founder with his brother (Geoffrey) of Tupholme Abbey or Priory, Lincolnshire 1156-66, Judge of Court of Exchequer 1165, Justice of the forest in all England 1165-77, excommunicated by St Thomas a Becket 1166 for supporting Henry II in his insistence that clergy were subject to the ordinary law. [Burke's Peerage]
He probably took his name from Neuville in Normandy. He is first recorded in 1138, in the retinue of Count Waleran of Meulan, whose butler he became with an annual fee of 100s. About this time he married a daughter of a baron of the honor of Pont Audemar. Having served Count Waleran during most of Stephen's reign, about 1153 Neville transferred his allegiance to the Angevins, and by 1156 he held land in Lincolnshire, on which he several times received remittance from the geld. Pardons he received between 1168 and 1171 from paying his share of amercements laid on seven wapentakes there, all except one of them in Lindsey, indicate that it was in Lindsey that his holdings mainly lay. It is not certain whether he was related in any way to several other Nevilles active in Lincolnshire in the reign of Henry II, or to the Neville family established probably on the abbot of Peterborough's fee at Walcot in 1086.
According to Katharine Keats-Rohan, Neville had four sons – Alan, Geoffrey, Thomas, and Ivo. Young, however, says that Neville died without direct heirs and his lands went to his brother Geoffrey de Neville and nephew Hugh de Neville.[5] The person of the same name who was holder of the forest pleas in Lincolnshire in 1169 and 1170 may have been this Alan de Neville.. [1]
It is likely that Neville held lands in Amesbury in Wiltshire, as a widow of an Alan de Neville was given the lands of her husband who died before Michaelmas in 1190.[2] This widow, Juliane de Neville, held the lands for a 100-pound fine. [3]
