Frances Neville

Frances Neville, Baroness Bergavenny (née Lady Frances Manners) (c. 1530—c. September 1576) was an English noblewoman and author. Little is known of either Lady or Lord Bergavenny, except that the latter was accused of behaving in a riotous and unclean manner by some Puritan commentators. Lady Bergavenny's work appeared in The Monument of Matrones in 1582 and was a series of "Praiers". Her devotions were sixty-seven prose prayers, one metrical prayer against vice, a long acrostic prayer on her daughter's name, and an acrostic prayer containing her own name.

Lady Frances Manners was the third daughter of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland and his second wife, Eleanor Paston, Countess of Rutland. Her father was a soldier and the eldest son of George Manners, 11th Baron de Ros and his wife, Anne St Leger. By St Leger, Lady Frances was a great-granddaughter of Anne of York; the oldest sister of Edward IV and Richard III.

Before 1554, Lady Frances had married Henry Nevill, 6th Baron Bergavenny. Lord Bergavenny was born between 1527 and 1535. He was the son of George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny and Lady Mary Stafford. Neville succeeded to the title of Baron Bergavenny after his father's death in 1535. He held office of Chief Larderer at the coronation of Queen Mary in 1553. When Lady Bergavenny died in 1576, Lord Bergavenny remarried to Elizabeth Darrell, daughter of Stephen Darrell and Philippe Weldon, before 1586; they had no issue. He died 10 February 1586/87 without male issue. He was buried on 21 March 1586/87 at Birling, Kent, England.
