From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John de Mowbray, 4th Baron Mowbray (1340 – 1368) was the son of John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray and Joan Plantagenet, daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster.

As was the custom of lords at the time, de Mowbray served in the French wars. The 4th Baron took the cross and met his end near Constantinople, fighting against the Turks.

John de Mowbray married Elizabeth de Segrave, daughter of Sir John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave, and Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk. Margaret's paternal Grandparents were King Edward I of England and Marguerite of France.
