He was hanged at York on 23 March 1322, and his estates forfeited.[1] His wife and son John were imprisoned in the Tower of London until Edward II was deposed by his wife, Queen Isabella, and Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March. The Mowbrays were released in 1327.

He died of the plague at York on 4 October 1361, and was buried at the Friars Minor in Bedford.[2]

He married secondly, between 28 February 1327 and 4 June 1328, Joan of Lancaster, sixth and youngest daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster, by whom he had a son and two daughters:[3]
He married thirdly, by papal dispensation of 4 May 1351, Elizabeth de Vere (d. 14 or 16 August 1375), widow of Sir Hugh Courtenay (d. before 2 September 1349), and daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford, by Maud de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere.[2]

 John de Mowbray
 John was born 29 Nov 1310 in Hovington YKS and, still a minor at the death of his father in 1322, was imprisoned in the Tower of London for five years. In January 1327, on the deposition of Edward II, he was released and given livery of his father's lands, and was summoned to parliament from10 December 1327 to 20 November 1360.
 Henry Plantagenet., Earl of Lancaster, for services to Queen Isabella, was granted rights over the marriage of John, and married him to his fifth daughter Joan , 28 Feb 1326/27. She pre-deceased him in 1349 and he married secondly Elizabeth de Vere
 John was involved in protracted litigation from 1338 to 1347 with his cousin Thomas de Braose concerning the great estates in Wales and Sussex which had come to him through his mother, Alice (nee deBraose). He also had a dispute, prior to his mother's death in 1322, with her second husband Sir Richard Peshall, regarding certain manors in Bedfordshire which he and his mother had granted Peshall for life, and in 1329 he forcibly entered them.
 Edward III came to the throne in 1327 following the barbarous murder of Edward II in Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire. John de Mowbray was a member of the new king's council from 1328. In 1327, 1333,1335 and again in 1337, he served in the north against the Scots. The year 1333 saw the seizure of Berwick by the English. In 1337, with war against France impending, John was ordered to arm his tenants in his lordship of Gower. In 1338 he had to provide ships for the king's passage to the continent and was sent down to his Sussex estates to counter the treat of a French landing. In view of continuing Scottish troubles, 1340 saw him appointed justiciar of Lothian and governor of Berwick-on-Tweed, and in September 1341 he was commanded to furnish Ballol with men from his Yorkshire estates.
 At Neville's Cross, Durham in 1346 there was a great battle where King David II was captured, and also John's Scottish cousin William de Moubray. At this battle John fought in the third line, and one of the chroniclers of the times loudly sang his praises: "He was full of grace and kindness - the conduct both of himself and his men was such as to resound to their perpetual honour."
 A truce had begun in 1347, but at its expiry in 1352, John was appointed chief of the commissioners charged with the defence of the Yorkshire coast against the French, and had to furnish thirty men from Wales. In 1354 the Earl of Warwick challenged John for the lordship of Gower, and succeeded, The Black Prince stepped in on John's behalf, but Edward III ruled in favour of Warwick. In 1335 the king sent John again to the Scottish border.
 In December 1359 he was made a justice of the peace in the Holland district of Lincolnshire and in February of the next year, he became a commissioner of array at Leicester for the counties of Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Rutland. His last recorded duty as the king's servant was his summons to parliament in May 1360. On the 4th. October 1361 he died at Hoveringham, York in the second plague outbreak, having lived through the first in 1348. He was buried in the Franciscan church at Bedford.
 An insight into his character is given by a deed he granted in 1359. The North West of Lincolnshire is known as the Isle of Axholme and was a swampy low-lying area. In order to put an end to the disputes between his steward and tenants in the area, he reserved a small part of his extensive holdings for himself, and grated the remainder to his tenants 'in prepetuum'. This deed was jealously preserved in Haxey church "in a chest bound with iron, whose key was kept by some of the chiefest freeholders, under a window wherein was a portraiture of Mowbray, set in an ancient stained glass, holding in his hand a writing, commonly reported to be an emblem of the deed". The window was broken down in the "rebellious times", when the rights of the commoners under the deed were in large measures overridden, despite their protests, by the drainage scheme begun by Cornelius Vermuyden in 1626.
 John was succeeded by his son, also John.

Judhael of Totnes
Perhaps the most remarkable new tenant-in-chief is the Breton nobleman Judhael of Totnes, whose name combineds Juda, "Jew," with the theophoric suffix -el, and who owned approximately half the entire province. Keats-Rohan has a lengthy entry on him; his enigmatic careeer and the tale of his powerful connections boil with intrigue and adventure (285-86). Originating in Brittany, where his father was the west Norman Knight Alfred the Giant, he married the sister-in-law of Germond of Picquigny in the strategic fiefdom of Picardy and formed deft alliances with the counts of Flanders to the north. Despite or because of his Jewish ancestry and faith, Judhael's descendants married into several prominent Norman families, including those of de Braose, de Beauchamp, Chaworth, Mowbray, Grey, de Laval, Mortimer, and even the royal Plantagenet family. Notably, in the family genealogy a descendant in the late 1500s (Thomas Swinburne) marries a woman who is conspicuously Jewish, Hieronyma Chaytor. In the 1130s and 1140s, Judhael's son Alfred and a nephew, also named Judhael, "were close to Baldwin I de Redvers, earl of Devon and "head of a netword of western Normans in Devon" (Keats-Rohan 286). The Judhael or Totnes line, like that of the High Stewarts of Scotland, who were also Breton in origin, with their alternation of Walters and Alans, long preserved a naming pattern modeled on the High Priests of the Temple in Jerusalem. Without realizing its implications, Keats-Rohan astutely remarks upon it as having a "significance beyond what was customary in name-giving" (42.
