Roger de Montbegon

Roger de Montbegon [Roger de Mumbezon.] (d. 1225/6) was a landowner in northern England (especially or particularly Lancashire), Baron Montbegon of Horneby, and one of the Magna Carta sureties.

There is a scholarly debate about his place in the list of sureties. J. C. Holt ["Magna Carta" (2nd edition 1992), p. 478.] takes it that Matthew Paris made a mistake in replacing his name with 'Roger de Mowbray'. According to the record publicized by the [http://www.magnacharta.org/ National Society Magna Charta Dames and Barons] , Roger abandoned the sureties and therefore Roger de Mowbray (younger brother of William de Mowbray, another surety) was substituted for him; this probably explains Matthew Paris' alleged error.
