    JOHN Mowbray, son of JOHN de Mowbray Lord Mowbray & his wife Aline de Briouse (Hovingham, Yorkshire 29 Nov 1310-4 Oct 1361, bur Bedford). “Johannes filius et hæres Johannis de Moubray dominus insulæ de Haxiholme, et de honoribus de Gouher et de Brember” confirmed the donations to Byland Abbey by his ancestors by charter dated “in festo sanctæ Margaretæ virginis 1345”[733]. A manuscript relating to the Mowbray family records the birth “V Kal Dec…apud Hovingham” in 1310 of “Johannes filius Dñi Johis de Moubray”[734]. He succeeded his father as Lord Mowbray de iure when the latter was hanged in 1322. However, his father's estates were confiscated for supporting the rebellion of Thomas Earl of Lancaster in his rebellion. John de Mowbray was imprisoned in the Tower 26 Feb 1322. His inheritance was restored on the accession of King Edward III. A manuscript record of the Mowbray family states that “Johannes filius [Johannis]” was buried “apud Bedford”[735].

    m firstly (after 28 Feb 1327) JOAN of Lancaster, daughter of HENRY Duke of Lancaster & his wife Maud Chaworth ([1312]-7 Jul [1349], bur Byland Abbey, Yorkshire). A manuscript record of the Mowbray family states that “Johannes filius [Johannis]” married “Johannam sororem domini Henrici primi ducis Lancastriæ”, adding that she was buried “in Bellanda”[736].

    m secondly as her second husband, ELIZABETH de Vere, widow of Sir HUGH de Courtenay, daughter of JOHN de Vere Earl of Oxford & his wife Maud Badlesmere (-[Aug/Sep] 1375). She married thirdly (before 18 Jan 1369) Sir William de Cosynton.

    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.

    John married Plantagenet, Lady Joan of Lancaster between 8 Mar and 12 Jun 1327. Joan (daughter of Plantagenet, Henry and de Chaworth, Maud) was born in 1312 in Grismond or Grosmont Castle (destroyed), Grosmont, Monmouthshire, Wales; died on 15 Jul 1349 in Byland Abbey, Yorkshire, England; was buried after 15 Jul 1349 in Byland Abbey, Yorkshire, England.

    Christian Mowbray (b c. 1305? - d. 30 Dec 1363).[1][2]

    Note on parentage: The Visitation of the North dated c 1480 - 1490 identifies Christian, second wife of Sir William de Plumpton, as "filia Mowbray" that is "daughter of Mowbray," but does not record the given name of her father.

    Supporting contemporary evidence of Christian's family name is is provided by an entry in the Close Rolls dated 12 Dec. 1333 which indicates that Christian, then widow of Richard de Emeldon, appointed john de Moubray "her brother" and Henry Haydock, clerk, to set her dower[see C.C.R. 133-137(1898):185; citation courtesy of Paul M. Gifford].

    Regardless, in the absence of additional evidence, it has been impossible to to place Christian with any certainty among the various branches of the Mowbray family then in England and Scotland."

    John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray

    John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray (24 June 1340 – 1368) was an English peer. He was slain near Constantinople while en route to the Holy Land.

    Family
    John de Mowbray, born 25 June 1340 at Epworth, Lincolnshire, was the son of John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray, of Axholme, Lincolnshire, by his second wife, Joan of Lancaster, sixth and youngest daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster.

    Career
    He and twenty-six others were knighted by Edward III in July 1355 while English forces were at the Downs before sailing to France. In 1356 he served in a campaign in Brittany. He had livery of his lands on 14 November 1361; however his inheritance was subject to the dower which his father had settled on his stepmother, Elizabeth de Vere. By 1369 she had married Sir William de Cossington, son and heir of Stephen de Cossington of Cossington in Aylesford, Kent; not long after the marriage she and her new husband surrendered themselves to the Fleet prison for debt. According to Archer, the cause may have been Mowbray's prosecution of his stepmother for waste of his estates; he had been awarded damages against her of almost £1000.

    In about 1343 an agreement had been made for a double marriage between, on the one hand, Mowbray and Audrey Montagu, the granddaughter of Thomas of Brotherton, and on the other hand, Mowbray's sister, Blanche, and Audrey's brother, Edward Montagu. Neither marriage took place. Instead, about 1349 a double marriage was solemnized between, on the one hand, Mowbray and Elizabeth Segrave, and on the other hand, Mowbray's sister Blanche, and Elizabeth Segrave's brother John, Pope Clement VI having granted dispensations for the marriages at the request of the Earl of Lancaster in order to prevent 'disputes between the parents', who were neighbours. Mowbray had little financial benefit from his marriage during his lifetime as a result of the very large jointure which had been awarded to Elizabeth Segrave's mother, Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, who lived until 1399. However, when Elizabeth Segrave's father, John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave, died on 1 April 1353, Edward III allowed Mowbray to receive a small portion of his wife's eventual inheritance. Estate accounts for 1367 indicate that Mowbray enjoyed an annual income of almost £800 at that time.

    Mowbray was summoned to Parliament from 14 August 1362 to 20 January 1366. On 10 October 1367 he appointed attorneys in preparation for travel beyond the seas; these appointments were confirmed in the following year. He was slain by the Turks near Constantinople while en route to the Holy Land. A letter from the priory of 'Peyn' written in 1396 suggests that he was initially buried at the convent at Pera opposite Constantinople; according to the letter, 'at the instance of his son Thomas' his bones had now been gathered and were being sent to England for burial with his ancestors.

    His will was proved at Lincoln on 17 May 1369. His wife, Elizabeth, predeceased him in 1368 by only a few months.

    Marriage and issue
    Mowbray married, by papal dispensation dated 25 March 1349, Elizabeth de Segrave (born 25 October 1338 at Croxton Abbey), suo jure Lady Segrave, daughter and heiress of John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave (d.1353), by Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas of Brotherton, son of Edward I.

    They had two sons and three daughters:

    John de Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham (1 August 1365 – before 12 February 1383), who died unmarried, and was buried at the Whitefriars, London.
    Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk.
    Eleanor Mowbray (born before 25 May 1364), who married John de Welles, 5th Baron Welles.
    Margaret Mowbray (d. before 11 July 1401), who married, by licence dated 1 July 1369, Sir Reginald Lucy (d. 9 November 1437) of Woodcroft in Luton, Bedfordshire.
    Joan Mowbray, who married firstly Sir Thomas Grey (1359 – 26 November or 3 December 1400) of Heaton near Norham, Northumberland, son of the chronicler Sir Thomas Grey, and secondly Sir Thomas Tunstall of Thurland in Tunstall, Lancashire.[16]

    John married de Segrave, Baroness Elizabeth on 25 Mar 1349 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. Elizabeth (daughter of de Segrave, Sir John and de Brotherton, Margaret) was born on 3 Oct 1338 in Croxton Abbey, Croxton Kerrial, Leicestershire, England; was christened on 2 Nov 1338 in Croxton Abbey, Croxton Kerrial, Leicestershire, England; died on 2 Apr 1368 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England; was buried after 2 Apr 1368 in Croxton Abbey, Croxton Kerrial, Leicestershire, England.

    Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk, KG, Earl Marshal (22 March 1367 or 1368 – 22 September 1399) was an English peer. As a result of his involvement in the power struggles which led up to the fall of Richard II, he was banished and died in exile in Venice.

    Origins
    Mowbray was the second son of John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray, and Elizabeth de Segrave, suo jure Lady Segrave, daughter and heiress of John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave, by Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas of Brotherton, son of Edward I.[1] He had an elder brother, John de Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham, and three sisters, Eleanor, Margaret and Joan (for details concerning his siblings see the article on his father, John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray).

    Career
    In April 1372, custody of both Thomas and his elder brother, John, was granted to Blanche Wake, a sister of their grandmother, Joan of Lancaster.[2] On 10 February 1383, he succeeded his elder brother, John Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham, as Baron Mowbray and Segrave, and was created Earl of Nottingham on 12 February 1383.[3] On 30 June 1385 he was created Earl Marshal for life, and on 12 January 1386 he was granted the office in tail male.[4][a] He fought against the Scots and then against the French. He was appointed Warden of the East March towards Scotland in 1389, a position he held until his death.

    He was one of the Lords Appellant to King Richard II who deposed some of the King's court favourites in 1387. He worked his way back into the king's good graces, however, and was likely instrumental in the murder, in 1397, of the king's uncle (and senior Lord Appellant), Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, who was imprisoned at Calais, where Nottingham was Captain. In gratitude, on 29 September 1397, the king created him Duke of Norfolk.[4][3]

    In 1398, Norfolk quarreled with Henry of Bolingbroke, 1st Duke of Hereford (later King Henry IV), apparently due to mutual suspicions stemming from their roles in the conspiracy against the Duke of Gloucester. Before a duel between them could take place, Richard II banished them both. Mowbray left England on 19 October 1398.[6] While in exile, he succeeded as Earl of Norfolk when his grandmother, Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, died on 24 March 1399.[6] He died of the plague at Venice on 22 September 1399.[3] Bolingbroke returned to England in 1399 and usurped the crown on 30 September 1399; shortly afterward, on 6 October 1399, the creation of Mowbray as Duke of Norfolk was annulled by Parliament, although Mowbray's heir retained his other titles.[6][3]

    Arms of Mowbray
    The traditional, and historic arms for the Mowbray family are "Gules, a lion rampant argent". Although it is certain that these arms are differenced by various devices, this primary blazon applies to all the family arms, including their peerages at Norfolk.
