  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir Roger de Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, 4th Baron Mortimer, KG (11 November 1328 – 26 February 1360) was an English nobleman and military commander during the Hundred Years' War.
  He was the son of Sir Edmund Mortimer (d. 1331) and Elizabeth de Badlesmere, and grandson of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March.
  The Mortimer family lands and titles were lost after the first Earl of March's revolt and death by hanging in 1330, which was followed the next year by the death of Roger's father. Roger thus grew up with uncertain prospects, and re-acquired the family honours only gradually.
  Around 1342, he received back Radnor, and the next year the old family baronial seat at Wigmore, Herefordshire.
  
  Military career
  As a young man he distinguished himself in the wars in France, fighting at Crécy and elsewhere in the campaign of 1347. Afterwards he was given livery of the rest of his lands, was one of the knights admitted at the foundation of the Order of the Garter, and was summoned to parliament as a baron both in 1348. He was knighted on July 12, 1346 at La Hogue by Edward the Black Prince.
  
  Earldom
  In 1354, the sentence passed against Mortimer's treacherous grandfather, the first earl, was reversed, and the next year he was summoned to parliament as Earl of March. Also in 1355, he received a number of important appointments, including Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, and he accompanied an expedition of Edward III to France.
  
  Other honours
  On 19 October 1356, his grandmother Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville, widow of the first earl, died, and Roger inherited her vast estates, including Ludlow Castle, which was thereafter the Mortimer family seat and power base.
  
  In the following years, he became a member of the Royal Council and was appointed Constable at the castles of Montgomery, Bridgnorth in Shropshire, and Corfe in Dorset.
  
  In 1359, and continuing into 1360, he was Constable of Edward III's invasion of France. He fought in the failed siege of Reims and captured Auxerre. The English forces then moved into Burgundy, where Roger died suddenly at Rouvray, near Avallon.
  
  Marriage and children
  Roger married Philippa de Montagu (1332–1381), daughter of William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury, and Catherine Grandison and had by her at least four children:
  1. Roger Mortimer, who died young;
  2. Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March;
  3. Margery Mortimer.
  4. Janet Mortimer, who married Andrew Gray, father of Andrew Gray, 1st Lord Gray.
  
  Mortimer also had at least one illegitimate child:
  5. Sir Thomas Mortimer, who acted as deputy for his nephew Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March, in Ireland (1382–1383) and stood trial for the slaying of Richard II's commander, Sir Thomas Molineux after the Battle of Radcot Bridge (1387).

  From Encyclopedia Britannica, article titled: "March, Roger Mortimer,2nd Earl of:" "a leading supporter of Edward III of England. "The eclipse of the Mortimer family's power following the death of the1st Earl of March proved no more than temporary. Edward III'sfriendship with March's grandson Roger, 2nd Earl of March, enabled thelatter in 1354 to recover his ancient patrimony. Royal support alsolay behind a series of arbitrary decisions, thinly veiled as legaljudgments, which restored to the young earl in addition many of thelands acquired by the 1st earl during his years of power, notably thelordship of Denbigh: the claims of the Earl of Salisbury were ignored,and the Earl of Arundel was pacified with the lordship of Chirk. Bythen, Roger had already served with the king at the Battle of Crâecy(1346) and became one of the founder knights of the Garter. Later heaccompanied Edward to Picardy in 1355 and, as constable, rode in thevan of the great host that went to France in 1359. "

  === ROGER (DE MORTIMER), LORD MORTIMER, gran ===
  ROGER (DE MORTIMER), LORD MORTIMER, grandson and heir, being son and heir of Edmund (DE MORTIMER), LORD MORTIMER, by Elizabeth his wife, which Edmund was son and heir of Roger (de Mortimer), 1st Earl of March. He was aged 3 at his father's death, 16 December 1331, having been born at Ludlow on 11 November 1328. The wardship of many of the estates and the marriage of the heir were in 1336 granted to William de Montagu, afterwards Earl of Salisbury, who had been the chief instrument in arresting Roger's grand father. Wigmore Castle was in charge of his stepfather, Willian (de Bohun), Earl of Northampton, who as early as 1342 asked the King to give it up to the heir; the King did so, taking Roger's homage. In November 1341 the castle of Radnor had been granted to him, under security. On 13 September 1344, at a great tournament at Hereford, the juveni of Mortimer distinguished himself. In February 1345/6 he was ordered to raise 200 men in Radnor, Wigmore, &c., in anticipation of the projected invasion of France, in which he distinguished himself. On landing at La Hogue on 12 July 1346 he was knighted by Edward, Prince of Wale! on whom that honour had just been bestowed by the King. He fought at Crécy, 26 August, in the first division with the Prince of Wales. In recognition of his good service in the campaign it was ordered, 6 September 1346, that he should have livery of all his lands in Hereford and the March of Wales, though not yet of age, the King having taken his homage. On 16 June 1347 he had permission to receive the castle of Trim, &c., from his grandmother Joan in exchange for lands in England. About 1348 he became K.G., being one of the founders of the order. He was summoned to Parliament on 20 November 1348 and later, by writs directed Rogero de Mortuo-Mari, with, at times, the addition de Wygemore. On 31 December 1349 he helped the Prince of Wales to defeat the plot for the betraying of Calais to the French. In February 1351/2 he founded a chantry in the chapel of Ludlow Castle. On 24 May 1352, as Lord of Wigmore, he was ordered to send forty Welshmen for the King's service, and was again in France in that year. In 1354 he obtained a reversal of the sentence against his grandfather Roger in 1330, and was restored to the title of EARL OF MARCH and to all his grandfather's estates. On 30 June 1354 he was appointed for life to keep the manor, park and forest of Clarendon, and 3 Nov. 1354 was custodian of Corfe Castle. In 1355, as lord of Denbigh, &c., he was to send sixty men for the King's service, and 8 August in the same year was appointed for life to keep the castle of Dover and the Cinque Ports, receiving £300 a year. He was made steward of the castles, manors and lands of Ros and Hamlakc on 15 July. In July 1355 he was in the fleet collected by the Earl of Lancaster for the campaign to aid Charles of Navarre, but the fleet, being delayed by contrary winds, did not get further than the Isle of Wight, when news came that Charles had made peace with France. He was summoned to Parliament as EARL OF MARCH 20 September 1355. About Michaelmas he sailed from Sandwich with the King's expedition to invade France, which made a hurried return in November to meet a surprise invasion by the Scots. On 20 January 1355/6 he witnessed Edward Baliol's resignation to Edward of the kingdom and crown of Scotland. By the death of his grandmother Joan, October 1356, he came into her large estates. In February 1356/7 he was pardoned the relief due on his succession to his hereditary lands. He had protection on going abroad on the King's service 3 July 1357. He was on the King's council in about 1358, and in September of that year was granted the hundred of Munslow, Salop, in fee. On 12 January 1358/9 he was ordered to send 160 Welshmen for the King's service, for his lands in Denbigh and Montgomery, and 140 for his lands in South Wales and Wigmore. On 20 August he was appointed constable of the castle of Bridgnorth, and in November was ordered to have his castles in Wales and the March repaired. In October he took part in Edward III's futile invasion of France. He was appointed constable of the host and rode at the head, with 600 men-at-arms and 1,000 archers. They attacked, but failed to take Rheims; but Roger took Saint-Florentin and Tonnerre. Thereafter he was with Edward in Burgundy, and died suddenly at Rouvray (Côte d'Or). He m. Philippe, daughter of William (De MONTAGU), EARL OF SALISBURY, his guardian, by Katherine, daughter [and in her issue] coheir of William, LORD GRANDISON. He died as aforesaid, 26 February 1359/60,(c) and was buried in France, but his body was afterwards brought over to England and buried at Wigmore. Dower was assigned to his widow, Philippe, 3 July 1360. She died 5 January 1381/2, and was buried at Bisham. [Complete Peerage VIII:442-5, XIV:466]
