William de Mowbray of Thirsk, Yorkshire, Constable of York Castle.
Son and heir of Nele de Mowbray of Thirsk by his wife, Mabel, born about 1173.
Husband of Agnes D'Aubeney, daughter of William D'Aubeney, the 2nd Earl of Arundel and Maud St Hilary, the daughter of James. They had two sons, Nele and Sir Roger.
William was apparently with King Richard returning from Palestine, and witnesses a charter of the King at Spiers in Germany 20 Nov 1193, when Richard spent his second Christmas in captivity.
William received livery of his lands in 1194 after a payment of £100, then called to pay more for Richard's ransom, and was a witness to the treaty with Flanders in 1197.
After Richard's death he swore allegiance to King John, and remained loyal to John after the loss of Normandy in 1205 when he lost all his Norman holdings, including Montbrai, to the French king forever.
William joined the confederacy of barons against the king at Stamford Easter week 1215, and was one of the twenty five barons elected to guarantee the observance of the Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. He was also, in turn, one of twenty five barons who were ex-communicated by Pope Innocent III on 16 Dec 1215 for his actions.
William was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217, but managed to redeem his lands by the surrender of the lordship of Bensted, Surrey to Hubert de Burgh. William was also present at the siege of Bitham Castle in Lincolnshire in 1221.
William died shortly before 25 March 1224 and buried at Newburgh Abbey. Agnes was living as a nun at Buckland in 1232.
