1364 Licence, for 70l. paid to the king by Robert de Insula; of Rougemont, for him to enfeoff William de Aldeburgh, knight, Elizabeth, his wife, and his heirs, of two parts of the manor of Harewod, which is held in chief, a messuage and a bovate of land in Carleton, parcel of the demesne of that manor, excepted, and of the reversion of the third part, likewise held in chief, now held in dower by Maud late the wife of John de Insula; of Rougemont, father of the said Robert.[2]
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.
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.
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]
