Roger de Montbegon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger de Montbegon[1] (d. 1225/6) was a landowner in northern England (especially or particularly Lancashire), Baron Montbegon of Horneby, and one of the Magna Carta sureties.

There is a scholarly debate about his place in the list of sureties. J. C. Holt[2] takes it that Matthew Paris made a mistake in replacing his name with 'Roger de Mowbray'. According to the record publicized by the National Society Magna Charta Dames and Barons, Roger abandoned the sureties and therefore Roger de Mowbray (younger brother of William de Mowbray, another surety) was substituted for him; this probably explains Matthew Paris' alleged error.
