Mowbray Herald Extraordinary

Add article description

Mowbray Herald of Arms Extraordinary was an English officer of arms. From the time of King Richard II to that of Henry VI, Mowbray was the Duke of Norfolk's private herald. Since its revival in 1623 the title has always been given to a herald extraordinary.[1] Though an officer of the crown, Mowbray Herald Extraordinary was not a member of the corporation of the College of Arms in London. Sir William le Neve appears to have been appointed to the office from 29 June 1624 until his appointment as York Herald the following year.[2] The office was recreated in January 1695 for Robert Plot, who was made Registrar of the College of Heralds just two days later[3] and was subsequently held by Joseph Edmondson.
