From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron Mowbray (d. 21 November 1297), was an English peer and soldier.

The son of another Roger de Mowbray, served in the Welsh and Gascon Wars. He was summoned to the Parliament of Simon de Montfort in 1265, but such summons have later been declared void. However, in 1283 he was summoned to Parliament by the King as Lord Mowbray.

De Mowbray married Rose, a descendant of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford. They had at least two children:

  • John, who would succeed his father to the barony
  • Alexander, who apparently took up residence in Scotland.
