He was the son of Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland and Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland, daughter of John of Gaunt and Katherine de Roet (better known as Katherine Swynford).
He married firstly Lady Elizabeth de Beauchamp, daughter of the 1st Earl of Worcester and the former Lady Isabel le Despenser, who later succeeded as de jure 3rd Baroness Bergavenny, and they had the following children:

He married secondly Katherine Howard, daughter of Robert Howard and sister of the 1st Duke of Norfolk, and they had the following children:
