Richard Neville, jure uxoris 16th Earl of Warwick and suo jure 6th Earl of Salisbury (22 November 1428 - 14 April 1471),was a leading figure in the War of the Roses during which he helped depose the Lancastrian King Henry VI in favour of the Yorkist King Edward IV. This earned him his nickname of "the Kingmaker". After falling out with Edward, the Earl attempted to replace the king with Edward's brother, George, Duke of Clarence. When this failed, Neville successfully overthrew Edward and reinstalled Henry VI. However, he'd overreached himself. Neville was killed when his forces engaged Edward's in 1471.
