Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron by tenure, eldest son, who succeeding to thelands of Mumbrey or Mowbray, became known by the surname Mowbray. In 1148 he accompanied Louis VII, King of France, to the Holy Land and acquired great renown. On a subsequent journey to the Holy Land he was captured, but was redeemed by the Knight Templars. Dying soon after in the East, he was buried at Sures. He married Alice, daughter of Gilbert, Baron de Gant, or Gaunt, and his wife Richildis, Countess of Hainault and Namur, great-granddaughter of King Hugh Capet of France.
Roger de Mowbray, once a principal proprietor and resident of Kilburn, was a descendant of the first Duke of Northumberland, who was the
bow-bearer of William the Conqueror. At Hode, within the limits of the parish of Kilburn, the famous Roger de Mowbray established a church, priory and castle, in 1138. During the Crusades, Mowbray fought in the Holy Land, and was taken prisoner by Guy, King of Jerusalem, but was redeemed by the Knights Templars. On his return to England, he is said by Dugdale to have "fought with dragons and lions in the valley of Sarranell," and then to have returned to his castle at Kilburn. He was buried at Byland Abbey, where, in 1819, his bones were discovered and re-interred after a repose of between six and seven hundred years.
