re. Oxford DNB and Christian, wife of Richard Embleton and S

I've just noticed that the new Oxford-DNB has an entry for Richard Embleton
(d. 1333), merchant and several-times Mayor of Newcastle, and that the entry
states that his third wife was "Christian, daughter of John (I), Lord
Mowbray." Indeed, the author (C.M. Fraser) seems to make rather a point of
Christian's Mowbray connections and what this implies about Embleton's
background. Unfortunately, since the text isn't footnoted it's impossible to
determine which of the sources listed in the references might be the source of
Fraser's identification of Christian's father. Considering the fact that
Christian's origins have been discussed several times on this list (and left
very much in doubt, vis-a-vis the Mowbray connection)I thought this might be
of some interest.
