Award

The title was created on June 28, 1283 for Roger de Mowbray when he was appointed to the royal parliament by Writ of Summons . As Barony by writ , the title is also hereditary in the female line.

The 5th Baron also inherited the title 6th Baron Segrave in 1375 , which was created in 1295 by writ in the Peerage of England. The baronies Mowbray and Segrave have since been united. In 1377 he was raised to Earl of Nottingham , but the earl title expired when he died childless in 1382. The two baronies were inherited by his brother Thomas de Mowbray . This was raised to the Earl of Nottingham in 1383 and Duke of Norfolk in 1397 and inherited the title of Earl of Norfolk in 1399 . With the death of the 4th duke, the dukedom expired and the remaining titles passed to his daughter Anne Mowbray , upon whose death around 1481 the baronies Mowbray and Segrave fell in Abeyance and the other titles expired. The Abeyance was ended around 1484 in favor of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk . After he fell in Wars of the Roses , his titles were stripped of his title for high treason. The two baronies were only restored in 1554 for his great-great-grandson Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk , who was executed for high treason in 1572 and his titles were revoked again. The two baronies were restored in 1604 for his grandson Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel . When his great-great-great-grandson, Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk , died on September 20, 1777, the baronies Mowbray and Segrave fell again in Abeyance. This was ended in 1878 in favor of Charles Stourton, 20th Baron Stourton . The title Baron Stourton , of Stourton in the County of Wiltshire, was created in 1448 by writ in the Peerage of England. The baronies of Mowbray, Segrave and Stourton have since been united.
