The de Mowbray Family
In some respects it was fortunate that Thomas Wright did not have access to the Internet and Wikipedia.
That being said, the references that he quotes are in most cases
pretty informative.
When Thomas makes statements such as:
"
Roger de Mowbray, the son of Maud de Mowbray (daughter of
William de Beauchamp), held lands here in 1281, of the earl of
Oxford; his successor was his son John (de Mowbray) and
John de Steyngreve, on his death in 1295, also had possessions here.
Isabel, his only daughter, was married to Simon de Pateshull, who, in her right, held these lands at the
time of his death, in 1296.
