Thomas Neville
Thomas Fauconberg or Thomas Neville, sometimes called Thomas the Bastard, or the Bastard of Fauconberg (1429 – 22 September 1471), was the natural son of Sir William Neville, 1st Earl of Kent who fought with distinction and valour during the Hundred Years' War alongside Lord Talbot and others. In his youth Thomas was a notable sailor, receiving, in 1454, the freedom of the City of London for his work in eliminating pirates from the Channel and the North Sea.
==Wars of the Roses==
Originally a Lancastrian, Thomas switched allegiance in 1460 to support the Yorkists with his cousin Warwick, the Kingmaker. Fauconberg's support for the Yorkist claimant Edward IV was significant enough that, according to the chronicler Jean de Waurin, Edward honoured him as "a friend and a father" shortly before he was crowned in 1461.
In the late 1460s when tensions arose between his cousin Warwick and Edward IV Thomas sided with his cousin. When Warwick rebelled in 1469 and was forced into exile Thomas joined him with several armed ships. While Warwick was in France negotiating an alliance with Margaret of Anjou Thomas took command of his cousin’s ships and raided English shipping.〔Kendall, Kingmaker, p. 302.〕
