Roger served in the Welsh and Gascon Wars. He was summoned to the Parliament of Simon de Montfort in 1265 and in 1283 by the King as Lord Mowbray.

The Progenies Moubraiorum, hujus Abbatiae Fundatorum states that Roger, son of Roger, died in Ghent, beyond the sea and was buried in Fontibus Abbey in 1299. However, this manuscript record of the Mowbray family is inconsistent with other sources in regards to many of the details of the early generations of this family.
