John de Mowbray VII, 4th Duke of Norfolk, 1st Earl of Surray, 10th Baron Mowbray, 17th Baron of Thirsk, KG was the son of John de Mowbray, 3rd Duke of Norfolk and Eleanor Bourchier (1417-1474). He married Elizabeth Talbot (1442-1510), daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury (1384-1453) and one daughter by that marriage.
On 24 March 1451 the earldoms of Surrey and Warrenne were revived in his favour. They had become extinct on the death in 1415 of Thomas, Earl of Arundel, whose sister, Elizabeth Fitzalan, married his great-grandfather, Thomas Mowbray, 1st duke of Norfolk (1366-1399). The fourth duke makes a great figure in the 'Paston Correspondence.' Maintaining his father's baseless claim to Caistor Castle, he besieged and took it in September 1469, during the confusion of that year, and kept possession, with a short interval during the Lancastrian restoration of 1470-1, until his sudden death on 17 Jan. 1476, when it was recovered by the Pastons. He transferred his Gower and Chepstow estates to William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, in exchange for certain manors in Norfolk and Suffolk.
By his wife, Elizabeth Talbot, daughter of the great Earl of Shrewsbury, he left only a daughter, Anne Mowbray (1472-1481), and his honours, with the exception of the baronies of Mowbray and Segrave and probably the earldom of Norfolk, became extinct. Anne de Mowbray, the last of her line, was married 15 Jan 1478 to Richard, duke of York, second son of Edward IV, who had been created Earl of Nottingham, Earl Warrenne, and Duke of Norfolk. But her husband was murdered in the Tower before the marriage was consummated, and Duchess Anne died without issue, and was buried in the chapel of St. Erasmus in Westminster Abbey.
The Mowbray and other baronies fell into abeyance between the descendants of her great grand-aunts Margaret and Isabel, daughters of Thomas de Mowbray, first duke of Norfolk. Margaret had married Sir Robert Howard, and their son, John Howard,'Jockey of Norfolk,' was created Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England on 28 June 1483. Isabel de Mowbray married James Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley (d. 1462), and her son William, created Earl of Nottingham (28 June 1483) and Marquis of Berkeley (28 Jan. 1488), sold the Axholme and Yorkshire estates of the Mowbrays to Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby. His descendants, the earls of Berkeley, called themselves Barons of Mowbray, Segrave, and Breuse of Gower.
