Katherine Neville or Catherine de Neville (born c. 1400 – died after 1483[1]) was the eldest daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland (1364–1425), and Joan Beaufort (c. 1379-1440), daughter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, by
his mistress (later, 3rd wife) Katherine Swynford.[2]
On 12 January 1412, Katherine was married at the age of 12 to John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk (1392–1432). Their only known child was John de Mowbray, 3rd Duke of Norfolk (1415–1461).
Katherine married for a second time to Thomas Strangeways (c. 1395-before 1442) [3] - they had 2 daughters:
Joan Strangeways, who married Sir William Willoughby. Their daugher Cecily married Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley.[4]
Catherine Strangeways [1]
She married for a third time to John, Viscount Beaumont, who was killed in 1460.
Her fourth and last marriage was infamous, known by contemporaries as the "diabolical marriage"[1] - she married John Woodville, brother of Elizabeth Woodville, wife of King Edward IV. He was 19 years old at the time of their marriage - she was 65. Nonetheless, she survived even him; he was executed in 1469 during the brief period of time that her nephew Richard, Earl of Warwick, usurped the authority of the crown. Whether or not she was forced into this final marriage against her will is unclear. She was still alive in 1483, having survived all the descendents of her first marriage
