Research Notes

Seals of Elizabeth and William^[4]

William de Aldeburghe, of Kirkby Overblow Manor, co. York., Knt.

6799. [A.D. 1363.] Red: A shield of arms: a lion rampant. Within a finely carved and traced gothic pointed cinquefoil and betw. two leaves, slipped.

Elizabet, wife of William de Aldeburgh

6801. [A.D. 1368.] Red: An angel, half-length, wearing an embroidered robe, supporting before him two small shields of arms: dex., a lion rampant, ALDEBURGH (see previous seal), sin., a lion rampant. Within a carved gothic panel.

1. The description of the dexter side of the seal corresponds closely with that of Mowbray of Colton: Gules, a lion rampant argent within a bordure engrailed. Intriguingly, William, son of Ivo of Aldeburgh grants to John, son of William Moubray, and Margaret his wife my manor of Aldeburgh in Richmondshire [ 26 Edw 3; 1352/1353] [Yorkshire Archaeological Journal vol 6 1881: p421] Possibility that Elizabeth, wife of William de Aldeburgh is Elizabeth Mowbray a daughter of John Mowbray and Margaret Percy.
2. Alternatively the dexter is simply the Aldeburgh lion rampant. See discussion on the identity of the Aldeburgh Arms. ^[5]

Note e) from Complete Peerage Most genealogists assume that Elizabeth was sister of Robert, though Ralph Brooke (Discoverie of certaine Errours in the Britannia, 1596, p. 66 [111]) denies this, and says that she was sister of John, Robert's father. But there is no known authority for either relationship.^[6][7]
