George Nevill (1457–1483), son of John, Earl of Northumberland, was made Duke of Bedford in 1470, as the intended husband of Elizabeth of York. However, his father and his uncle (the Earl of Warwick) rebelled against Edward IV the next year and were slain. He was deprived of the title in 1478, ostensibly for lack of money to maintain the style of a duke.
