24263808. Baron William de MOWBRAY MCS died in 1222 in his castle in the Isle of Axhome. He was buried in 1222 in Abby of Newburg, in Yorkshire. "third baron by tenure, eldest son, who was of age in 1194-5, and next year, or 6 Richard I., when a scutage was levied for the King's ransom, he was one of the sureties for its payment. He was early embittered against King John by being compelled by him to surrender the barony of Frontboeuf, which Henry I, had conferred upon his great-garndfather, Sir Nigel d'Albini, to a descendant of the original owner. This was probably because Mowbray, upon the accession of king John, was tardy in pledging his allegiance, and at length only swore fealty upon concition that "the king should render to every man his right". At tha breaking out of the baronial war he was governor of York Castle, and it is not suprising that he once sided with the barons against King John, and was one of the most forward of them.
He was elected one of the Sureties of the Magna Charta, and was a party to the "Covenant for holding the city and tower of London". and one of those whom Pope Innocent III. excommunicated by name. He still continued in arms after the decease of King John, and was in the battle of Lincoln, and taken prisoner there, when his lands were confiscated and bestowed upon William Marsahll, Jr., the Surety, but he was subsequently allowed to redeem them. After this he attached himself to Henry III, and was with him at the siege of Bitham Castle, in Lincollnshire, and dying in 1223-4, at his castle in the Isle of Axholme, was buried in the Abbey of Newburg, in Yorkshire.
