Roger de Mowbray, although not yet of age, was one of the chief commanders at the memorable battle fought, anno 1138, with the Scots, near Northallerton, known in history as the Battle of the Standard. Adhering to King Stephen in his contest with the empress, he was taken prisoner with that monarch at the battle of Lincoln. In 1148, he accompanied Lewis, King of France, to the Holy Land, and there acquired great renown by vanquishing a stout and hardy pagan in single combat. He was afterwards involved in the rebellion of Prince Henry against King Henry II and lost some of his castles. His grants to the church were munificent in the extreme, and his piety was so fervent that he again assumed the cross and made a second journey to the Holy Land where he was made prisoner but redeemed by the knight's Templars. He d., however, soon after in the East and was buried at Sures. Some authorities say that he returned to England and, living fifteen years longer, was buried in the abbey of Riland. He m. Alice de Gant, and was s. by his elder son, Nigil de Mowbray
