Care must be taken to distinguish this MP from his more celebrated namesake, Sir William Neville, knight of the chamber to Richard II, especially as the latter’s impressive collection of posts included that of constable of Nottingham castle. This Sir William, who was a younger son of Ralph, 2nd Lord Neville of Raby, died in Greece in 1391 with his close friend, Sir John Clanvowe, both of whom were noted for their lollard sympathies (K.B. McFarlane, Lancastrian Kings, 197-9).

It is important not to confuse this MP with Robert Neville (d.1374), the son of Ralph, Lord Neville (d.1367) and brother of John, Lord Neville (d.1388) and of Alexander Neville, abp. of York (d.1392). This Robert took part in the expedition which his brother, John, then steward of the royal household, led to Brittany in 1372, having previously been involved in negotiations with the duke of Brittany (CP, ix. 501; DKR, xlv. 244; EHR, lxxix. 726; Foedera ed. Rymer (Hague edn.) iii (2), 187).
