His wife, a See also:Braose heiress, added See also:Gower in South See also:Wales and the Bramber lordship in See also:Sussex to the great possessions of his house
.
Their son John (d

1361) was father, by a daughter of Henry earl of Lancaster, of John, Lord Mowbray (c
.
1328–1368), whose fortunate See also:alliance with the heiress of Lord See also:Segrave, by the heiress of Edward I.'s son Thomas, earl of See also:Norfolk and See also:marshal of England, crowned the fortunes of his See also:race
.
In addition to a vast See also:accession to their lands, the earldom of See also:Nottingham and the marshalship of England were bestowed on them by See also:Richard II., and the dukedom of Norfolk followed (see NORFOLK, THOMAS MOWBRAY, 1st See also:duke of)

.
Both families assumed the baronies of Mowbray and Segrave, but Henry See also:Howard was summoned in his father's lifetime (164o) as Lord Mowbray, which was deemed a recognition of the Howards' right; their co-heirs, from 1777, were the Lords Stourton and the Lords See also:Petre, and in 1878 Lord Stourton was summoned as Lord Mowbray and Segrave

The former dignity is claimed as the premier See also:barony, though De See also:Ros ranks before it
