  === Life Sketch ===
  Roger Mortimer, 3rd Baron Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 – 29 November 1330), was an English nobleman and powerful Marcher lord who gained many estates in the Welsh Marches and Ireland following his advantageous marriage to the wealthy heiress Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville.
  
  In November 1316, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1322 for having led the Marcher lords in a revolt against King Edward II in what became known as the Despenser War. He later escaped to France, where he was joined by Edward's queen consort Isabella, whom he may have taken as his mistress. After he and Isabella led a successful invasion and rebellion, Edward was deposed; Mortimer allegedly arranged his murder at Berkeley Castle. For three years, Mortimer was de facto ruler of England before being himself overthrown by Edward's eldest son, Edward III. Accused of assuming royal power and other crimes, Mortimer was executed by hanging at Tyburn.
  
  Mortimer, grandson of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer and Maud de Braose, Baroness Mortimer, was born at Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, England, the firstborn of Marcher Lord Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, and Margaret de Fiennes. He was born on 25 April 1287, the Feast of Saint Mark, a day of bad omen. He shared this birthday with King Edward II, which would be relevant later in life. Edmund Mortimer was a second son, intended for minor orders and a clerical career, but on the sudden death of his elder brother Ralph, Edmund was recalled from Oxford University and installed as heir.
  
  Like many noble children of his time, Roger Mortimer was betrothed at a young age, to Joan de Geneville (born 1286), the daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow. They were married on 20 September 1301 when he was aged fourteen. Their first child was born in 1302.
  
  Through his marriage, Mortimer not only acquired numerous possessions in the Welsh Marches, including the important Ludlow Castle, which became the chief stronghold of the Mortimers, but also extensive estates and influence in Ireland. However, Joan de Geneville was not an "heiress" at the time of her marriage. Her grandfather Geoffrey de Geneville, at the age of eighty in 1308, conveyed most, but not all, of his Irish lordships to Mortimer, and then retired: he finally died in 1314, with Joan succeeding as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville.
  
  Mortimer was conveyed to the Tower. Accused of assuming royal power and of various other high misdemeanours, he was condemned without trial and hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1330, his vast estates forfeited to the crown. His body hung at the gallows for two days and nights in full view of the populace. Mortimer's widow Joan received a pardon in 1336 and survived until 1356. She was buried beside Mortimer at Wigmore, but the site was later destroyed.
  
  The marriages of Mortimer's children (three sons and eight daughters) cemented Mortimer's strengths in the West.
  
  1. Sir Edmund Mortimer knt (1302–1331), married Elizabeth de Badlesmere; they produced Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, who was restored to his grandfather's title.
  
  2. Margaret Mortimer (1304 – 5 May 1337), married Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley
  
  3. Maud Mortimer (1307 – after 1345), married John de Charlton, Lord of Powys
  
  4. Geoffrey Mortimer (1309–1372/6), who inherited the French seigneurie of Couhé as the assigned heir of his grandmother Joan of Lusignan, and founded a branch of the family based in France.
  
  5. John Mortimer (1310–1328)
  
  6. Joan Mortimer (c. 1312 – 1337/51), married James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley
  
  7. Isabella Mortimer (c. 1313 – after 1327)
  
  8. Katherine Mortimer (c. 1314 – 1369), married Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick
  
  9. Agnes Mortimer (c. 1317 – 1368), married Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke
  
  10. Beatrice Mortimer (died 16 October 1383), who married firstly, Edward of Norfolk (died before 9 August 1334), son and heir apparent of Thomas of Brotherton, by whom she had no issue; and secondly, before 13 September 1337, Thomas de Brewes (died 9 or 16 June 1361), by whom she had three sons and three daughters.
  
  11. Blanche Mortimer (c. 1321 – 1347), married Peter de Grandison, 2nd Baron Grandison.

  From The Execution of Roger Mortimer by Kathryn Warner (2006):
  
  "Roger Mortimer was a fascinating man who deserves to be much better known. He was intelligent, competent, and ruthless, and, in the end, proof of the adage that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Power went to his head at least as much as it did to Hugh Despenser's, and he repeated the avaricious and tyrannical mistakes of the previous favorite, and added a few of his own."
  
  "Thanks to Edward III's lack of vindictiveness, however, Roger's descendants thrived in the later fourteenth century. His grandson Roger was restored to the earldom of March in 1354, his great-grandson Edmund married Edward III's granddaughter Philippa of Clarence, and his great-great-grandson Roger was heir to the throne of England in the late 1390s."

  Roger Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, was summoned to Parliament 1306-1326. This nobleman, notorious in our histories as the paramour of Isabel, Queen Consort of Edward II, was in his sixteenth year at the death of his father. He married Jaone, daughter of Peter de Genville, Lord of Trim, in Ireland. In 34th of Edward I, about 1306, he received the honour of Knighthood. He aided in the Scottish wars, and in 3rd of Edward II, 1310, he was made Governor of the Castle of Buelt, and later was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. During the latter part of Edward II's reign he attached himself to the Queen, and at length fled with her and Prince Edward to France. He later returned and was made Earl of March soon after the accession of Edward III. He hereupon became proud beyond measure (so that his son Geoffrey called him the King of Folly) and assumed royal authority. His career was not however of long continuance, for King Edward III, becoming sensible of his folly and vices, had him seized in the Castle of Queen Isabel in Nottingham and was convicted under various charges, the first was complicity in the murder of Edward II, and receiving sentence of death was hanged in 1330. He left by Joan de Geneville 4 sons and 7 daughters.
  
  === ROGER DE MORTIMER [LORD MORTIMER], son a ===
  ROGER DE MORTIMER [LORD MORTIMER], son and heir of Edmund DE MORTIMER [LORD MORTIMER], by Margaret, daughter of Sir William DE FIENES, was born either on 25 April or 3 May 1287. On 29 July 1304 the wardship of his lands was granted to Piers de Gavaston. On 30 December 1304 Roger had permission to pay off his father's debts at the rate of £20 a year. He was summoned to Parliament from 22 February 1306/7 to 15 May 1321, and from 3 December 1326 to 28 August 1328, by writs directed Rogero de Mortuo Mari de Wygemor (spelt variously). On 9 April 1306, although still under age, he had livery of his lands, having satisfied Piers de Gavaston. He was made a knight by the King (with many others) at Westminster, at the same time as the Prince of Wales, on Whitsunday 22 May 1306. In 1306 he performed service in Scotland, and in October, being one of those who left the King's service there without licence, his lands were seized. He was pardoned in the following January, and his lands were restored at the intercession of Queen Margarct. On 15 December 1307 the Justiciar of Ireland was ordered to deliver to him the lands of his inheritance in Ireland, although he was still under age; and on 24 December Geoffrey de Geneville [Lord Geneville] had licence to surrender to Roger de Mortimer and Joan his wife (daughter of Piers, and granddaughter of Geoffrey de Geneville) the lands in Ireland which Geoffrey held by the courtesy after the death of Maud his wife, and which at his death would descend to Roger and Joan. At the outset of his career, therefore, he became, by inheritance from his father and in consequence of his marriage, a great magnate both in Wales and in Ireland. At the Coronation of Edward II, 25 February 1307/8, he was one of the four bearers of the royal robes. On 14 March 1307/8 he acknowledged a debt of £80 to the Friscobaldis of Florence. He was summoned for militiry service against the Scots 21 June 1308, and also in 1309 (to raise 500 foot soldiers in Wales), 1310, and later. On 28 October 1308 Sir Roger and his wife (heiress of Meath) went to Ireland and took seisin of Meath. On 26 August 1309 he had a grant of the commote of Endor (unidentified) in Wales, and in the same year sealed the Barons' letter of 6 August to the Pope concerning abuses. He was custodian, during pleasure, of Builth Castle on 26 February 1309/10. On 20 July 1309 or 1310 a mandate was issued to the Justiciar of Ireland restoring the liberties Roger's predecessors had enjoyed in Trim. On 2 April 1313 Roger was to be paid £100 for his expenses in going to Gascony on the King's service. He nominated attorneys in Ireland on 14 March 1314/5 for two years. In 1315 he took part in suppressing the revolt of Llewelyn Bren, and was one of those to whom, on 18 March 1315/6, Llewelyn surrendered. In June 1316 Roger made a settlement of his estates. In the same year he was defeated by Edward Bruce in Ireland, after which he returned to England, and later helped the Earl of Pembroke to suppress a revolt in Bristol. On 23 November 1316 he was appointed the King's Lieutenant in Ireland, and on 9 December had a grant of the marriage of the son and heir of Nicholas de Audley. In February 1316/7 he assembled a great army at Haverfordwest, and crossed with them, as commander, to Youghal, arriving on 7 April. He is said to have held a Parliament in Dublin in May. On 3 June he defeated Walter de Lacy and his men, and the next day, when Walter and his three brothers again attacked, he again defeated them. In 1318 he was recalled to England, and in the same year he is described as the "late keeper" of Ireland. In the dispute between the King and the Despensers on the one hand, and the Earl of Lancaster on the other, Mortimer seems to have tried to keep a middle course with the Earl of Pembroke. He had a grant on 20 July 1318 of the marriage of Thomas, son and heir of Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. On 9 August, at the treaty of Leek between the King and Lancaster, he was one of the sureties for the King, and was nominated on the King's council and on the commission to reform the royal houschold. In November the chamberlain of Carnarvon was ordered to pay him 2,000 marks for his services in Ireland. On 15 March 1318/9 he was appointed justiciar of Ireland, during pleasure, and held this office till January 1320/1. On 16 March he was made keeper of the castles of Roscommon, Randown and Athlone. In 1320, in a private war in South Wales between the Earl of Hereford and Despenser about Gower, Roger and his uncle Roger Mortimer of Chirk took sides with the former. In the following year the King summoned Roger and the Earl of Hereford to attend him, but they refused to come, because the younger Despenser was in the King's train. On 28 June 1321 Roger and his uncle were present at the meeting of the Barons at Sherburn in Elmet; and on 29 July Roger accompanied them to London and lodged at the Hospitallers' house at Clerkenwell. The King yielded, the Despensers were banished, and Mortimer received a formal pardon on 20 August, and returned to the Welsh Marches. On 12 November he was ordered to abstain from the meeting of the "Good Peers" which Thomas of Lancaster had convened for 29 November. Later when the forces of the King besieged the castle of Leeds in Kent, which had refused admission to the Queen, Hereford and Mortimer came as near as Kingston, but did nothing further to relieve it. The King's forces took the castle and followed them westward, and on 25 December were at Cirencester. About this time Mortimer burnt Bridgnorth, and the King's army, being unable to cross the Severn, went north to Shrewsbury. On 22 January 1321/2 the Mortimers, being disappointed at receiving no help from the Earl of Lancaster, surrendered to the King at Shrewsbury, and were sent to the Tower. When Lancaster was overthrown at Boroughbridge, 22 March 1321/2, the Despensers returned to power, and the Mortimers were tried, and in July condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted, 22 July, to one of perpetmacl imprisonment. On 1 August 1324 Roger escaped from the Tower, the gmacrds having been drugged, and, crossing the Thames, he rode to Dover and embarked on a ship which was waiting to take him to France, where he was welcomed by Charles IV, whom he assisted in his war with Edward II in Guienne. In the spring of 1325 Queen Isabel (sister of Charles IV) crossed over to France to arrange for a peace about Guienne, which was made on 31 May; on 12 September Prince Edward went over to France to do homage for Aquitaine, and stayed there with his mother, with whom Mortimer and other exiles had become closely associated. Mortimer became her lover as well as her adviser, and at the end of the year they went to Flanders, where Prince Edward was affianced to Philippe of Hainault, and men and money were obtained for an attack on England. On 24 September 1326 the Queen, with Mortimer, John of Hainault, and their forces, landed near Ipswich, and were joined by Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and other opponents of the Despensers. The King having fled to the Despensers in Wales, Mortimer followed him. On 26 October 1326 the elder Despenser was captured at Bristol, tried by Mortimer, Lancaster, and others the next day, and hanged forthwith. On 16 November the King and the younger Despenser were captured at Llantrisant; the next day Mortimer ordered the execution of Arundel, and on 24 November he and Lancaster and Kent sat in judgment on the younger Despenser, and hanged him on a gallows 50 feet high. Mortimer was present at the delivery of the Great Seal to the Bishop of Norwich at Cirencester on 30 November, and on 15 December the custody of Denbigh Castle was granted to him, during pleasure. He was at Wallingford for Christmas that year with the Queen and her son. On 7 January 1326/7 Parliament deposed Edward II and made his son king, and on 13 January Mortimer, with a great company, visited the City, and at the Guildhall promised to maintain the liberties of the citizens. He was present on 28 January when the young King gave the Great Seal to the new Chancellor, the Bishop of Ely. On 1 February 1326/7 he was present af the Coronation of Edward Ill, and that day three of his sons (Edmund, Roger and Geoffrey) were made knights. On 15 February he received custody of the lands of the heir of Nicholas de Audley, and on 17 February was granted the marriage of Laurence de Hastinges. He was made justiciar of the bishopric of Llandaff on 20 February 1326/7; also justice of Wales during pleasure, and for life in the following year. On 21 February he received a pardon for breaking prison at the Tower and for his other delinquencies, sentence against him was reversed, because he had not been tried by his peers, and all his lands were restored to him. On 28 February he had licence to alienate lands, &c., to Acornbury monastery, Hereford. On 3 June 1327 he received custody of the lands of Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, during minority. He was appointed chief keeper of the peace on 8 June 1327 in cos. Hereford, Stafford, and Worcester; and on 12 June was to have the custody of Glamorgan and Morganwg, during pleasure, which custody he gave up on 22 April 1328 to Eleanor, widow of Hugh Despenser. In July 1327 he was in the Marches of Scotland in the King's service. On 17 August the liberty of Trim in Ireland was restored to him, and on 13 September the castles of Denbigh, Oswestry, and others were confirmed to him in satisfaction for the grant of land's worth £1,000 a year promised by Edward before he became king, also lands in cos. Worcester and Gloucester, and in Uriel in Ireland. He was granted the custody of the lands and heir of Lord Hastinges on 15 October 1327, and on 22 November had Church Stretton for life. In 1328 Mortimer held a Round Table at Bedford, and in June a great tournament at Hereford on the occasion of the marriage of two of his daughters, which the King and his mother attended. On 19 J

  === Roger Mortimer, 3rd Baron Mortimer, 1st ===
  Roger Mortimer, 3rd Baron Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 – 29 November 1330), was an English nobleman and powerful Marcher lord who gained many estates in the Welsh Marches and Ireland following his advantageous marriage to the wealthy heiress Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville.
  
  In November 1316, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1322 for having led the Marcher lords in a revolt against King Edward II in what became known as the Despenser War. He later escaped to France, where he was joined by Edward's queen consort Isabella, whom he may have taken as his mistress. After he and Isabella led a successful invasion and rebellion, Edward was deposed; Mortimer allegedly arranged his murder at Berkeley Castle. For three years, Mortimer was de facto ruler of England before being himself overthrown by Edward's eldest son, Edward III. Accused of assuming royal power and other crimes, Mortimer was executed by hanging at Tyburn.
  
  Mortimer, grandson of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer and Maud de Braose, Baroness Mortimer, was born at Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, England, the firstborn of Marcher Lord Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, and Margaret de Fiennes. He was born on 25 April 1287, the Feast of Saint Mark, a day of bad omen. He shared this birthday with King Edward II, which would be relevant later in life. Edmund Mortimer was a second son, intended for minor orders and a clerical career, but on the sudden death of his elder brother Ralph, Edmund was recalled from Oxford University and installed as heir.
  
  Like many noble children of his time, Roger Mortimer was betrothed at a young age, to Joan de Geneville (born 1286), the daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow. They were married on 20 September 1301 when he was aged fourteen. Their first child was born in 1302.
  
  Through his marriage, Mortimer not only acquired numerous possessions in the Welsh Marches, including the important Ludlow Castle, which became the chief stronghold of the Mortimers, but also extensive estates and influence in Ireland. However, Joan de Geneville was not an "heiress" at the time of her marriage. Her grandfather Geoffrey de Geneville, at the age of eighty in 1308, conveyed most, but not all, of his Irish lordships to Mortimer, and then retired: he finally died in 1314, with Joan succeeding as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville.
  
  Mortimer was conveyed to the Tower. Accused of assuming royal power and of various other high misdemeanours, he was condemned without trial and hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1330, his vast estates forfeited to the crown. His body hung at the gallows for two days and nights in full view of the populace. Mortimer's widow Joan received a pardon in 1336 and survived until 1356. She was buried beside Mortimer at Wigmore, but the site was later destroyed.
  
  The marriages of Mortimer's children (three sons and eight daughters) cemented Mortimer's strengths in the West.
  
  1. Sir Edmund Mortimer knt (1302–1331), married Elizabeth de Badlesmere; they produced Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, who was restored to his grandfather's title.

  4. Geoffrey Mortimer (1309–1372/6), who inherited the French seigneurie of Couhé as the assigned heir of his grandmother Joan of Lusignan, and founded a branch of the family based in France.

  11. Blanche Mortimer (c. 1321 – 1347), married Peter de Grandison, 2nd Baron Grandison.

  From The Execution of Roger Mortimer by Kathryn Warner (2006):
  
  "Roger Mortimer was a fascinating man who deserves to be much better known. He was intelligent, competent, and ruthless, and, in the end, proof of the adage that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Power went to his head at least as much as it did to Hugh Despenser's, and he repeated the avaricious and tyrannical mistakes of the previous favorite, and added a few of his own."
  
  "Thanks to Edward III's lack of vindictiveness, however, Roger's descendants thrived in the later fourteenth century. His grandson Roger was restored to the earldom of March in 1354, his great-grandson Edmund married Edward III's granddaughter Philippa of Clarence, and his great-great-grandson Roger was heir to the throne of England in the late 1390s."

  Roger Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, was summoned to Parliament 1306-1326. This nobleman, notorious in our histories as the paramour of Isabel, Queen Consort of Edward II, was in his sixteenth year at the death of his father. He married Jaone, daughter of Peter de Genville, Lord of Trim, in Ireland. In 34th of Edward I, about 1306, he received the honour of Knighthood. He aided in the Scottish wars, and in 3rd of Edward II, 1310, he was made Governor of the Castle of Buelt, and later was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. During the latter part of Edward II's reign he attached himself to the Queen, and at length fled with her and Prince Edward to France. He later returned and was made Earl of March soon after the accession of Edward III. He hereupon became proud beyond measure (so that his son Geoffrey called him the King of Folly) and assumed royal authority. His career was not however of long continuance, for King Edward III, becoming sensible of his folly and vices, had him seized in the Castle of Queen Isabel in Nottingham and was convicted under various charges, the first was complicity in the murder of Edward II, and receiving sentence of death was hanged in 1330. He left by Joan de Geneville 4 sons and 7 daughters.
