OK here's the *really* freaky bit:  leading on from your Neville 
connection, did you know that John of Gaunt's and Catherine 
Swynford's daughter Joan Beaufort's second marriage was to Ralph 
Neville, Earl of Westmorland.  Her grandsons included Richard, Earl 
of Warwick 'the Kingmaker' as well as the aforementioned Edward IV 
and Richard III!!!
