15 GENERATIONS OF THE MOWBRAY LINE FROM ROGER DE MONTBRAY b.c.
1020
TO ISABELLA MOWBRAY b.c. 1400 WHO MARRIED ROBERT BRUCE BEFORE 1419
http://www,ardrosshouse.com/family.htm
THIS DOES INCLUDE MANY OF THE OTHER MOWBRAY LINES
It should be stressed that information pre the Conquest is based
on on-line submissions, often without the benefit of accompanying
sources. Much of the information after the Conquest is supported
by sources listed by John Watson, Richard Chapman and others.
The d’AUBIGNY line can
be traced back further; but
the picture is rather confused.
Patrick R. Knight refers to
two separate families, the
"Arundel/Sussex d'Aubignys"
and the "Belvoir d'Aubignys.”

Source to identify
Various descriptions of the Appleton-le-Street effigies refer to Thomas as having had two wives, Alice de Boulton and Clemencia le Constable; but whether this suggests
that Alice was Thomas’s first wife is not clear. The same descriptions also name his mother as Hawise; but the source of this information is not known.
3 Peter I de BRUS died in 1222. His steward was Ossana da Tanton’s brother William, while his attorney was Cecilia de THWENG’s father Marmaduke, both shown above.
Peter’s sister was Isabel de BRUS whose second husband was Sir Roger MAUDUIT, their son Robert taking his mother’s family name of de BRUS. Peter I’s son was
Peter II, the family living at Skelton, just a few miles from Guisborough. One of Peter II’s daughters, Lucia, b.c. 1225, married Marmaduke, son of Robert de THWENG..
Robert Mauduit / de Brus is believed to be Robert de BRUS of Pickering, listed a juror at Stainton in 1265. Six generations later Rober BRUS married Isabel MOWBRAY.
Isabel de BRUS’s first husband was Henry de PERCY who died 1196-7. (They had two children.) Isabel herself died c. 1230 and is believed to be buried at Whitby Abbey.
Thomas Mowbray, 1368 -1399, 2nd son of the 4th baron married 1. Elizabeth Le Strange 2. Elizabeth Arundel.
Mowbray's quarrel with Bolingbroke and subsequent banishment are depicted in the opening scene of Shakespeare's Richard II. Mowbray prophetically replies to
King Richard's "Lions make leopards tame" with the retort, "Yea, but not change his spots." Mowbray's death in exile is announced later by the Bishop of Carlisle. Isle of Axholme
