RICHARDNEVILLE WARWICK, EARL OF (1428-1471), called "the king-maker," was eldest son of RichardNeville, earl of Salisbury, by Alice, only daughter and heiress of Thomas, the last Montacute earl of Salisbury.
Richard, duke of York, was his uncle, so when York became protector in 1453, and Salisbury was made chancellor, it was natural that Warwick should be one of the council.
Yet when Richard of York was disposed to claim the crown, it was, according to Waurin, Warwick who decided the discussion in favour of a compromise, perhaps from loyalty to Henry, or perhaps from the wish not to change a weak sovereign for a strong.
Richard was born at Fotheringay Castle, the fourth son of Richard, Duke of York who had been a strong claimant to the throne of King Henry VI.
At the time of his father's death at the Battle of Wakefield, Richard was still a boy, and was taken into the care of RichardNeville, Earl of Warwick, known to history as "The Kingmaker" because of his strong influence on the course of the Wars of the Roses.
On the death of Edward IV, Richard was entrusted with the role of protector to the king's sons, his young nephews, Edward V and another Richard, Duke of York.
