III. to 20 ( :l ) " The House of Lords, 26 July 1S77, resolved that it was proved by the writ of summons addressed to Koger de Mowbray in 11 Edward I., aud the other evidence adduced ou behalf of the petitioner [Lord Stourton), that the Barony of Mowbray waa in the reign of Edward I. vested in lloger de .Mowbray. The House came to ,t similar resolution in rcyard to the Barony of Sci/rave, and decided that the writs of suuimous of 49 Hen. Ill, could not create Peerages. [See as to this point vol. iii, p. 90, note " c," sub " Despencer ;"] and, in consequeuce, that the writ of 11 Ed. I., is the earliest of record to which the creation of a Peerage can be referred. Lord Segrave was sum, 49 Hen. III. and was found to be a rebel for his adherence to Simon de Montfort, but was afterwards pardoned. The House however referred the creation of his peerage to the writ of 11 Ed. I. It is, therefore, proved that Roger, Lord Mowbray, was bum. to Pari, by one of the earliest writs, which could create ;i Peerage, and as the Lords Mowbray have always claimed to be the Premier Barons of England and as their right was fully admitted by the Crown [Query, this admittance of the Croten] in the reign of Charles I. and Charles II., (on the election of the then Lords Mowbray as Knights of the Garter), Lord Mowbray, Segrave aud Stourton insists that, as it has been decided that the writ of summons of 49 Hen. III. (under which Lord de Ros is placed in the House of Lords) could not create a peerage, he [Lord M.] Ls entitled to be placed as the Premier Baron of England." [Burke's " Peerage " edit. 1S93], ( b ) See note " a " next above. The writ is dat. 2S [not 23 as given in Burke's " Peerage " for 1893] June, " a pud Jlochcl," and described In the app. to the Lords' report on the dignity of the Peerage " as " de tractatu hubendo de David fil Oriiliini." Besides 10 Earls, (including therein 2 Scotch Earls, and " William de Valence," who is placed below 4 and above 5 Karls) there are no less than 99 ! ! others so summoned. With respect to the writ of 12S3, Mr. J. Horace Round states that Bishop ' Stubbs writing in 1S75 declared there to be no valid writs between 1264 and 1295, so tho production (in 1876) of 12S3 [as a valid writ of suuimous] was a revolution."

(d) Mowbray is one (aud Segrave is another) of the six Baronies still existing out of the 53 Barons summoned iu 1295. See vol. iii, p. 90, note " c," sub "Despencer." (°) See vol. ii, p. 7, note " d," sub " Braose," as to the eoheirship of that Barony often (wrongfully) assumed by the Mowbray family.
