In November 1544 Bowes seized Coldingham Priory. This act of rebellion worked temporarily in his favour.[1] The English Privy Council announced to the Earl of Shrewsbury who was the Lieutenant-General in the North, that it was Henry VIII's intention to confer on him a barony.[2] Bowes, however was then taken prisoner, early in 1545, and the barony was not granted.[1]
Bowes returned from Scotland, and died at the end of 1545 in Alnwick, leaving no male heir.
