      Biography
      Christian Mowbray (b c. 1305? - d. 30 Dec 1363).[1][2]

      Note on parentage: The Visitation of the North dated c 1480 - 1490 identifies Christian, second wife of Sir William de Plumpton, as "filia Mowbray" that is "daughter of Mowbray," but does not record the given name of her father.

      Supporting contemporary evidence of Christian's family name is is provided by an entry in the Close Rolls dated 12 Dec. 1333 which indicates that Christian, then widow of Richard de Emeldon, appointed john de Moubray "her brother" and Henry Haydock, clerk, to set her dower[see C.C.R. 133-137(1898):185; citation courtesy of Paul M. Gifford].

      Regardless, in the absence of additional evidence, it has been impossible to to place Christian with any certainty among the various branches of the Mowbray family then in England and Scotland."

      ? Hickling (n.d.), states that Christiana de Plumpton's father is probably John I, Lord Mowbray and therefore John II, Lord Mowbray, is her brother. Richardson (2013), however, does not name Christiana as a child of John I, Lord Mowbray.
      Hickling (n.d.) adds that the, "conclusion that Christiana ... was a member of baronial Mowbrays coincides with published beliefs of ... antiquaries of Newcastle-upon-Tyne extending back one hundred years. [See Dendy (1904), p. 63; NCH (1930) 13: 313-314; Blair, "Members of Parliament etc.," (1936) p. 70; and Blair, "The Mayors and Lord Mayors, etc." (1940), p. 3.] ... most recent ... view: Constance M.
