She was the wife of Henry FitzHugh, 5th [Baron FitzHugh](/source/Baron_FitzHugh).Charles Mosley, editor, Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, 106th edition, 2 volumes (Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999), volume 1, page 17. She was the great-grandmother of queen consort [Katherine Parr](/source/Katherine_Parr) and her siblings, [Anne](/source/Anne_Herbert%2C_Countess_of_Pembroke) and [William](/source/William_Parr%2C_1st_Marquess_of_Northampton), and was one of the sisters of [Warwick the 'Kingmaker'](/source/Richard_Neville%2C_16th_Earl_of_Warwick). Her family was one of the oldest and most powerful families of the North. They had a long-standing tradition of military service and a reputation for seeking power at the cost of the loyalty to the crown as was demonstrated by her brother, the [Earl of Warwick](/source/Richard_Neville%2C_16th_Earl_of_Warwick).Linda Porter.

By her father she was a descendant of King [Edward III](/source/Edward_III) through the legitimised children of [John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster](/source/John_of_Gaunt%2C_1st_Duke_of_Lancaster) and his mistress, later wife, [Katherine Roët](/source/Katherine_Ro%C3%ABt). Her mother was the only child and sole heiress of [Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury](/source/Thomas_Montacute%2C_4th_Earl_of_Salisbury) by his first wife [Lady Eleanor Holland](/source/Eleanor_Holland%2C_Countess_of_Salisbury). Lady Alice was the sister of [Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick](/source/Richard_Neville%2C_16th_Earl_of_Warwick), the wealthiest and most powerful English peer of his age. Warwick was the most important and influential peer in the realm, and one of the principal protagonists in the [Wars of the Roses](/source/Wars_of_the_Roses). Her aunt, [Cecily Neville, Duchess of York](/source/Cecily_Neville%2C_Duchess_of_York), mother of future kings and Alice's first cousins, [Edward IV](/source/Edward_IV) and [Richard III](/source/Richard_III_of_England), was another key figure in the dynastic civil wars that dominated most of the latter half of 15th-century England. Alice's other siblings included Lady Joan Neville, Countess of Arundel; [Cecily Neville, Duchess of Warwick](/source/Cecily_Neville%2C_Duchess_of_Warwick); [John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu](/source/John_Neville%2C_1st_Marquess_of_Montagu); [George Neville, Archbishop of York and Chancellor of England](/source/George_Neville_(bishop)); Lady Eleanor Neville (who died in 1472 before her husband was created Earl of Derby); [Lady Katherine Neville, Baroness Hastings](/source/Katherine_Neville%2C_Baroness_Hastings); Sir Thomas Neville (1443–1460); and Lady Margaret Neville, Countess of Oxford.

Anne was [Princess of Wales](/source/Princess_of_Wales) as the wife of [Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales](/source/Edward_of_Westminster%2C_Prince_of_Wales), the son of [Henry VI](/source/Henry_VI_of_England) and [Margaret of Anjou](/source/Margaret_of_Anjou). After the battlefield death of the [Prince of Wales](/source/Prince_of_Wales) at 17 years old at the [Battle of Tewkesbury](/source/Battle_of_Tewkesbury) on 4 May 1471, Anne eventually became [queen consort of England](/source/queen_consort_of_England) upon her second marriage to [Richard, Duke of Gloucester](/source/Richard_III_of_England), who became [King of England](/source/King_of_England) as Richard III in 1483.Charles Mosley, editor, ''Burke's Peerage and Baronetage'', 106th edition, 2 volumes (Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999), volume 1, page 16.DWYER, J. G. "Pole, Margaret Plantagenet, Bl." New Catholic Encyclopedia. 2nd ed. Vol. 11. Detroit: Gale, 2003. 455–456. ==Lady-in-waiting== Lady Alice, who was close to her niece [Anne Neville](/source/Anne_Neville), was very supportive of the [Duke of Gloucester](/source/Richard_III_of_England) after he had become [Lord Protector](/source/Lord_Protector) of the Realm. She influenced her family members to do the same. When Gloucester ascended the throne as King Richard III in 1483, Lady Alice and her daughter, [Elizabeth](/source/Elizabeth_FitzHugh), were appointed by the queen to serve as her ladies-in-waiting. The two received presents from the King which included yards of the grandest cloth available to make dresses. At the coronation in 1483, it was Alice and Elizabeth who were two of the seven noble ladies given the honour to ride behind the queen. The position of [lady-in-waiting](/source/lady-in-waiting) to the [queens of England](/source/Queen_consort) became a family tradition spanning down to Lady FitzHugh's great-granddaughter, [Anne Parr](/source/Anne_Herbert%2C_Countess_of_Pembroke), who served all of King [Henry VIII](/source/Henry_VIII)'s [six wives](/source/Wives_of_Henry_VIII).Susan James. ''Katherine Parr: Henry VIII's Last Love''. The History Press; 1st Ed. edition (1 January 2009). Lady FitzHugh was very much the same temperament of her brother the [Earl of Warwick](/source/Earl_of_Warwick). Although her husband, Henry, Lord FitzHugh is generally given credit for instigating the 1470 rebellion which drew King [Edward IV](/source/Edward_IV) into the north and allowed a safe landing of the Earl of Warwick in the West country, the boldness of the stroke is far more in keeping with Alice, Lady FitzHugh's temperament and abilities than with her husband's.Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society.
