Nigel married, by See also:dispensation, the wife of his See also:cousin, the imprisoned earl, but afterwards divorced her, and by another wife was father of a son Roger, who took the name of Mowbray.
Roger, a great See also:lord with a See also:hundred knights' fees, was captured with King See also:Stephen at the See also:battle of See also:Lincoln, joined the See also:rebellion against Henry II. (1173), founded abbeys, and went on crusade.

His grandson Roger (1266-1298), who was summoned to See also:parliament by See also:Edward I., was father of John (1286–1322), a See also:warrior and See also:warden of the Scottish See also:March, who, joining in See also:- THOMAS

Thomas of See also:Lancaster's revolt, was captured at See also:Boroughbridge and hanged. His wife, a See also:Braose heiress, added See also:Gower in South See also:Wales and the Bramber lordship in See also:Sussex to the great possessions of his house. Their son John (d. 1361) was father, by a daughter of Henry earl of Lancaster, of John, Lord Mowbray (c. 1328–1368), whose fortunate See also:alliance with the heiress of Lord See also:Segrave, by the heiress of Edward I.'s son Thomas, earl of See also:Norfolk and See also:marshal of England, crowned the fortunes of his See also:race. In addition to a vast See also:accession to their lands, the earldom of See also:Nottingham and the marshalship of England were bestowed on them by See also:Richard II., and the dukedom of Norfolk followed (see NORFOLK, THOMAS MOWBRAY, 1st See also:duke of).
The 1st duke See also:left two sons, of whom Thomas the See also:elder was only recognized as earl marshal. Beheaded for joining in See also:Scrope's See also:conspiracy against Henry IV. (1405), he was succeeded by his brother John, who was restored to the dukedom of Norfolk in 1424. His son John, the third duke, was father of John, 4th and last duke, who was created earl of Warrenne and See also:Surrey in his father's lifetime (1451). At his death (1475) his vast See also:inheritance devolved on his only See also:child See also:Anne, who was married as an See also:infant to Edward IV.'s younger son Richard (created duke of Norfolk and earl of Nottingham and Warrenne), but died in 1481.
The next heirs of the Mowbrays were then the Howards and the Berkeleys, representing the two daughters of the first duke. Between them were divided the estates of the house, the See also:Mow-See also:bray dukedom of Norfolk and earldom of Surrey being also revived for the Howards (1483); and the earldom of Nottingham (1483) and earl marshalship (1485) for the Berkeleys. Both families assumed the baronies of Mowbray and Segrave, but Henry See also:Howard was summoned in his father's lifetime (164o) as Lord Mowbray, which was deemed a recognition of the Howards' right; their co-heirs, from 1777, were the Lords Stourton and the Lords See also:Petre, and in 1878 Lord Stourton was summoned as Lord Mowbray and Segrave. The former dignity is claimed as the premier See also:barony, though De See also:Ros ranks before it. Lord Stourton's son claimed, but unsuccessfully, in 1901–1906 the earldom of Norfolk (1312), also through the Mowbrays. Of the Mowbray estates the See also:castle and lordship of Bramber is still vested in the See also:dukes of Norfolk. The heraldic badge of the house was a mulberry-See also:- TREE (0.
