William de Mowbray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William de Mowbray, 6th Baron of Thirsk, 4th Baron
Mowbray (c. 1173–c. 1224) was an Norman Lord and
English noble who was one of the twenty five executors of
the Magna Carta. He was described as being as small as a
dwarf but very generous and valiant.[1]

Family and early life
William was the eldest of the one daughter and three or four
sons of Nigel de Mowbray, by Mabel, thought to be
daughter of William de Patri, and grandson of Roger de
Mowbray.[2]
Career under Richard I
William appears to have been in the company of Richard I
in Speyer, Germany, on 20 November 1193 during
Richard's period of captivity on his return from Palestine.[3]
In 1194 he had livery of his lands. paying a relief of £100.
He was immediately called upon to pay a sum nearly as
large as his share of the scutage levied towards Richard's
ransom, for the payment of which he was one of the
hostages.[4] William was later a witness to Richard's treaty
with Baldwin of Flanders in 1197.[3]
Career under John
In 1215 Mowbray was prominent with other north-country barons in opposing King John. He was appointed
one of the twenty-five executors of the Magna Carta, and as such was specially named among those
excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. His youngest brother, Roger, has sometimes been reckoned as one of
the twenty-five, apparently by confusion with, or as a substitute for, Roger de Mumbezon. Roger died without
heirs about 1218, and William received his lands.[4][5]
Career under Henry III
In the First Barons' War, Mowbray supported Louis. Mowbray was taken prisoner in the Battle of Lincoln
(1217), and his estates bestowed upon William Marshal the younger; but he redeemed them by the surrender of
the lordship of Bensted in Surrey to Hubert de Burgh, before the general restoration in September of that
year.[4]
In January 1221, Mowbray assisted Hubert in driving his former co-executor, William of Aumâle, from his last
stronghold at Bytham in Lincolnshire.[4]
Benefactor, marriage and succession
William de Mowbray founded the chapel of St. Nicholas, with a chantry, at Thirsk, and was a benefactor of his
grandfather's foundations at Furness Abbey and Newburgh, where, on his death in Axholme about 1224, he was
buried.[4][3]
He married Avice, a daughter of William d'Aubigny, 3rd Earl of Arundel, of the elder branch of the d'Aubignys.
By her he had two sons, Nigel and Roger. The ‘Progenies Moubraiorum’ makes Nigel predecease his father,
and Nicolas and Courthope accept this date; but Dugdale adduces documentary evidence showing that he had
livery of his lands in 1223, and did not die (at Nantes) until 1228. As Nigel left no issue by his wife Mathilda or
Maud, daughter of Roger de Camvile, he was succeeded as sixth baron by his brother Roger II, who only came
of age in 1240, and died in 1266. This Roger's son, Roger III, was seventh baron (1266-1298) and father of
John I de Mowbray, eighth baron.[4]
There has been some speculation that de Mowbray was the inspiration for the character of Tyrion Lannister in
Game of Thrones.

Roger de Mowbray (c. 1120–1188) was an English noble,
described by Horace Round as
a great lord with a hundred knight's fees, was
captured with King Stephen at the Battle of
Lincoln (1141), joined the rebellion against
Henry II (1173), founded abbeys, and went on
crusade.[2]

Family and early life
Roger was the son of Nigel d'Aubigny by his second wife,
Gundreda de Gournay.[3]
On his father's death in 1129 he became a ward of the
crown.[4] Based at Thirsk with his mother, on reaching his
majority in 1138, he took his paternal grandmother's surname of Mowbray and title to the lands awarded to his
father by Henry I both in Normandy including Montbray, as well as the substantial holdings in Yorkshire and
around Melton.[2]
Career under Stephen
Soon after, in 1138, he participated in the Battle of the Standard against the Scots and, according to Aelred of
Rievaulx, acquitted himself honourably.[4]
Thereafter, Roger's military fortunes were mixed. Whilst acknowledged as a competent and prodigious fighter,
he generally found himself on the losing side in his subsequent engagements. During the anarchic reign of King
Stephen he was captured with Stephen at the battle of Lincoln in 1141.[4]
Soon after his release, Roger married Alice de Gant (d. c. 1181), daughter of Walter de Gant and widow of
Ilbert de Lacy, and by whom he had two sons, Nigel and Robert.[5] Roger also had at least one daughter,
donating his lands at Granville to the Abbeye des Dames in Caen when she became a nun there.[4]
In 1147, he was one of the few English nobles to join Louis VII of France on the Second Crusade.[2] He gained
further acclaim, according to John of Hexham, defeating a Muslim leader in single combat.[5]
Career under Henry II
Roger supported the Revolt of 1173–74 against Henry II and fought with his sons, Nigel and Robert, but they
were defeated at Kinardferry, Kirkby Malzeard and Thirsk.[4]
Roger left for the Holy Land again in 1186, but encountered further misfortune being captured at the Battle of
Hattin in 1187.[3] His ransom was met by the Templars, but he died soon after and, according to some accounts,
was buried at Tyre in Palestine. There is, however, some controversy surrounding his death and burial and final
resting-place.[2][6]
Legacy
Mowbray was a significant benefactor and supporter of several religious institutions in Yorkshire including
Fountains Abbey.[3][2] With his mother he sheltered the monks of Calder, fleeing before the Scots in 1138, and
supported their establishment at Byland Abbey in 1143. Later, in 1147, he facilitated their relocation to
Coxwold.
Roger made a generous donation of two carucates of land (c.240 acres), a house and two mills to the Order of
Saint Lazarus, headquartered at Burton St Lazarus Hospital in Leicestershire, after his return from the crusades
in 1150.[7] His cousin William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel and his wife Adeliza, the widow of King Henry
I, had been amongst the earliest patrons of the order and, when combined with Roger's experiences in the Holy
Land, may have encouraged his charity.[8] His family continued to support the Order for many generations and
the Mowbrays lion rampant coat of arms was adopted by the Hospital of Burton St Lazars alongside their more
usual green cross.[1][9]
He also supported the Knights Templar and gave them land in Warwickshire where they founded Temple
Balsall.[7]
In total, Roger is credited with assisting the establishment of thirty-five churches.[2]

Nigel de Daubeney, 3rd Baron of Thirsk, 1st Baron of Mowbray (1070-1129), also known inaccurately as Nigel d'Aubigny, was a Norman Lord and English Baron who was the son of Roger d’Aubigny (1036-1104) and Alice de Grandmesnil (1055-1100). His father was a avid supporter of Henry I of England. He was born at Thirsk Castle in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, Kingdom of England. He was the founder of the noble House of Mowbray.

Life
He is described as "one of the most favoured of Henry’s 'new men'".[2] While he entered the king's service as a household knight and brother of the king's butler, William d'Aubigny, in the years following the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 Nigel was rewarded by Henry with marriage to an heiress who brought him lordship in Normandy and with the lands of several men, primarily that of Robert de Stuteville, 2nd Baron of Thirsk.[1] The Mowbray honour became one of the wealthiest estates in Norman England. From 1107 to about 1118, Nigel served as a royal official in Yorkshire and Northumberland. In the last decade of his life he was frequently traveling with Henry I, most likely as one of the king's trusted military and administrative advisors . He died in Normandy, possibly at the abbey of Bec.[3]

Family
He married twice. His first marriage was in 1107 to Matilda de L'aigle (1075-1129), daughter of Richer de L'aigle, Lord of L'aigle (1041-1085), who had divorced the disgraced and imprisoned Robert de Mowbray, 14th Earl of Northumbria (1059-1125). She brought to the marriage with Nigel her ex-husband's Lordship of Mowbray in western Normandy. They had no children. His second marriage was to Gundred de Gournay (1097-1155), daughter of Gerard de Gournay, Baron Of Gournay (1066-1104) in 1118 and had one son by that marriage. Cousin of Robert de Mowbray.
