Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland
Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland (1542–1601), was a Catholic nobleman of the Neville family of northern England. Allied to the Catholic Howards, he opposed Elizabeth I's Protestant policies.
In November 1569 he and the Earl of Northumberland led the Rising of the North: the rebels seized Durham, celebrated mass, and marched to free Mary, Queen of Scots, before royal forces scattered them. Neville fled to Scotland and was attainted in 1571, forfeiting his estates.
In 1572, fearing betrayal after Northumberland's capture, he went into exile in the Spanish Netherlands, living on a pension from Philip II. In 1588 he mustered English Catholic exiles in Flanders for the Armada invasion, and he died in poverty on 16 November 1601.
