MOWBRAY, ROBERT (d. 1125)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 948 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MOWBRAY, ROBERT (d. 1125) , a Norman who was appointed
earl
  of Northumberland between 1o8o and 1082. In 1o88 he and his uncle
Geoffrey
 ,
bishop
  of
Coutances
 , sided with Robert, duke of Normandy, against William Rufus, but they were pardoned at the close of the rebellion. In 1091
Mowbray
  defeated
Malcolm
  Canmore of
Scotland
 , who had invaded England, and in 1093 surprised and slew this king near Alnwick; soon after this event he succeeded to his uncle's vast estates. In 1095 he led a rebellion which had for its object the transference of the crown from the sons of the Conqueror to Stephen of
Aumale
 . Rufus marched against the
earl
  in person, and Mow-bray shut himself up in Bamborough Castle, but he was captured by treachery, escaped, and was captured again. He was then deprived of his possessions and kept a prisoner for the rest of his life, nearly thirty years.
See E. A. Freeman, William Rufus, especially Appendices C. C. F. F. (
Oxford
 , 1882).
