- "The Visitation of the North dated c. 1480-1490 identifies Christian, second wife of Sir William de Plumpton, as 'filia Mowbray,' that is, 'daughter of Mowbray,' but does not record the given name of her father [see Harvey et. al. Vis. of the North 3 (Surtees Soc. 144) (1930): 82-84 (Plumpton ped.)]. Supporting contemporary evidence of Christian's family name is provided by an entry in the Close Rolls dated 12 Dec. 1333 which indicates that Chistian, then widow of Richard de Emelden, appointed John de Moubray "her brother" and Henry de Haydok, clerk, to set her dower [see C.C.R. 1333-1337 (1898): 185, citation courtesy of Paul M. Gifford]. Regardless, in the absence of additional evidence, it has been impossible place Christian with any certainty among the various branches of the Mowbray family then in England and Scotland."
