   Many writers (including Wikipedia and Cokayne, 1895) call him Ralph, but there seems to be no basis for this except maybe a mistake in a Parliamentary writ. Cawley (2006) lists him as Randolph Neville. Richardson (2011) lists a brother named Ralph (Magna Carta Ancestry, III:240-241 NEVILLE 4).

Magna Carta Project

Ranulph de Neville appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Robert Drake to Magna Carta Surety Baron Roger le Bigod (vol. II, pages 90-92 DRAKE). The Drake to Bigod trail has not yet been developed. Other trails from Robert Drake to surety barons Saher de Quincy and John FitzRobert were identified by the Magna Carta Project and are also in need of development on WikiTree. See the trails in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

• Needs Development: This profile was just put under management of the Magna Carta Project and needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. ~ Thiessen-117 19:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Richardson sources: I have verified the information cited to Richardson and update/corrected the information & those citations as needed. I have also checked and updated the Cawley links/information.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
