Baron Mowbray is a title in the Peerage of England. It was created by writ for Roger de Mowbray in 1283. The title was united with the Barony of Segrave in 1368, when John Mowbray, 1st Earl of Nottingham and 5th Baron Mowbray, succeeded to that title. His successor was named Duke of Norfolk. With the childless death of Anne Mowbray, 8th Countess of Norfolk, in c.1481, the Barony went into abeyance between the Howard and Berkeley families, and both styled themselves Baron Mowbray and Seagrave.

In 1639, Henry Frederick Howard, later 22nd Earl of Arundel, was summoned to Parliament as Baron Mowbray, which by modern usage would have represented a novel peerage, but an 1877 House of Lords ruling viewed this as affirmation of the prior termination of the abeyance of the original title. The Mowbray barony held by the Howard family fell into abeyance in 1777 with the death of Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk. and in 1878 the original Barony of Mowbray, and then two weeks later the associated Barony of Seagrave, were called out of abeyance in favour of Lord Stourton. Abeyance terminated 1878. Family Tree by Stephen Tucker College of Arms 1878)
