Jane Neville (née Howard), Countess of Westmoreland (1533/1537 – buried [1] 30 June 1593), daughter of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey and Frances de Vere.
Her maternal grandparents were John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford and Lady Dorothy Neville. Dorothy was a daughter of Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland and Catherine Stafford. Catherine was a daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Lady Alianore (Eleanor) Percy.
Jane married her first cousin Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland on 28 August 1564. They were parents to five children:
In the events that preceded the Northern Rebellion, she had more to do with raising the troops than her husband did. She was well educated but perhaps not the most clever of women when it came to understanding political machinations. She was first to urge the rebels to rise up against Elizabeth I of England and yet she expected Elizabeth to pardon her when they failed.
She hoped to arrange the marriage of her brother, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, to Mary I of Scotland and put them both on England's throne. He was executed for treason in 1572 and she lived under house arrest for the rest of her life.
