Clan Moubray is a Scottish clan of the Scottish Lowlands. The clan is officially recognized by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, however as the clan does not currently have a chief recognized by the Court of the Lord Lyon, it is therefore considered an Armigerous clan.

History

[edit]

Moubray, also seen as Mowbray and Mobray, is a name of Norman origin, coming from the House of Mowbray from ancient barony of Montbray in Normandy. [1]

Robert de Moubray, is first recorded as witness to the gift of Staplegortoun to Kelso Abbey, during the reign of Malcolm IV of Scotland. [1]

The Moubray’s were supporters of John Balliol and the English during the First War of Scottish Independence and were forfeited of lands before switching sides to Robert the Bruce.
