Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland (18 August 1542 – 16 November 1601) was an English nobleman, politician and Roman Catholic rebel leader, who led the Rising of the North against Elizabeth I in 1569. After the failure of the Rising, he fled first to Scotland but then went into exile in the Spanish Netherlands, fearing the same fate as his fellow rebellion leader, Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumberland, who had been captured by the Elizabethan government and executed for treason in August 1572.
