Research Note

Disambiguation in Richardson

Royal Ancestry IV:183 entry for John de Mowbray states that Joan of Lancaster was John's second wife. Complete Peerage and Royal Ancestry III:461 entry for Roger la Warre, state that Joan of Lancaster was John de Mowbray's first wife. John was previously married to Maud de Holand and, on 26 February 1321/2 John, his mother and Maud were arrested and taken to the Tower. The marriage of John and Maud was subsequently voided. Joan of Lancester and John de Mowbray married between 28 February 1326/7 and 4 June 1328.^[1]
