Mowbray. Barony by Writ. III. 1322. John (de Mowbray), Lord Mowbray, son and heir, born 29 Nov. 1310, at Hovingham, Yorks, and baptized in All Saints Church there. On 26 Feb. 1321/2 he was imprisoned in the Tower. On the accession of Edward III his inheritance, of which many grants had been made, was restored, and on 3 Feb. 1326/7 the wardship of Axholme was granted to Joan, Countess (de Warenne) of Surrey. On 5 Apr. 1327 he was summoned for service against the Scots, and on 22 Apr. was ordered, as lord of Gower, to bring his men from Wales personally to Newcastle. On 27 July, the King having taken his homage, he had livery of all his father's lands (excepting those of the Templars), though he was still under age.
He was summoned to Parliament from 10 Dec. 1327 to 20 Nov. 1360, and frequently to Councils from 1328 to 1359. He is said to have been present at Amiens, 6 June 1329, when Edward III did homage to the King of France. He was at Swansea on 1 Aug. 1332, and at Fountains on 24 Aug. From now on he was put on numerous commissions of array, oyer and terminer, and in July assisted in the retaking of Berwick. He was at Oystermouth, in Gower, on 16 Aug. 1334, but appears to have have returned to Scotland to guard the Border. In Mar. 1336/7 two ships were provided for him for going to Scotland, and he had remission of 300 marks owing to the Exchequer. In Oct. 1338 he was ordered to take all his forces to Sussex to defend the coast, and was continuously in the King's service up to the summer of 1341, being ordered from Sussex to Scotland again at Michaelmas 1339, and appointed, 15 Apr. 1340, Keeper of Berwick-on-Tweed for a year, and justice in the parts of Scotland occupied by the King of England. In Nov. 1342 the King, who had arrived at Brest in Oct., ordered him to furnish men-at-arms and archers as quickly as possible for the campaign in Brittany, and to send them on if he could not come himself. On 20 Nov. he was summoned to a Council with Prince Edward, and on 13 May 1343, as lord of Gower, was ordered to be intendant to the Prince, who had been created Prince of Wales. On 22 July 1345 he was at Byland Abbey, and in July 1346 he was again in garrison at Berwick, and was ordered to select and send for the French campaign 150 Welshmen from Gower; he was also directed to send a deputy to the Parliament summoned for Sept., as he was needed on the Scottish border. At the defeat of the Scots at Nevill's Cross, Durham, 17 Oct. 1346, he led "the 3rd
battle" with the Bishop of Lincoln, and was among the Northern magnates who received the King's thanks for their services then. With other Northern magnates he was summoned, 10 Dec., to a Council at Westminster on Scottish affairs, and shortly after Easter 1347 returned to Scotland on service.
He was summoned to Councils again in Mar. 1350, and in 1352 and 1353. He is said to have taken part in the naval defeat of the Spaniards off Winchelsea, 29 Aug. 1350. From 1351 onwards he was a justice of the peace in Lincs and other counties. He was one of the five commissioners appointed in May 1352 for the defence of the Yorkshire coast against an expected invasion, and as lord of Gower was ordered to provide 30 Welshmen. In the spring of 1355, as John de Mowbray, baron, he was present with his son (as John de Mowbray, nephew of the Earl of Lancaster) at the confirmation of the statutes of St. Mary's, Leicester. Towards the end of that year he was in Scotland with the King, and on 20 Jan. 1355/6 witnessed the surrender by Baliol of his claim to the Scottish crown in favour of Edward. Having lost the lordship of Gower, he from about this time styled himself "lord of the Isle of Axholme and of the honour of Bramber." He was one of those who took the oath that the treaty of Bretigny should be observed.
He married, firstly, John, sixth and youngest daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster. She died 7 July (? 1349), and is said to have been buried before the high altar at Byland. He married, secondly, Elizabeth, widow of Hugh de Courtenay (dead 1349), son and heir of Hugh, 2nd Earl of Devon, and daughter of John (de Vere or Veer), Earl of Oxford, by Maud, widow of Robert FitzPayn, and second daughter of Bartholomew, Lord Badlesmere. He died 4 Oct. 1361.
His widow married, before 18 Jan. 1368/9, Sir William de Cosynton, son and heir of Stephen de Cosynton, of Cosynton (in Aylesford), and Acrise, Kent, a kngiht of Prince Edward. She died Aug. or Sep. 1375. He was living 6 July 1380.
