Ireland was Mortimer's chief care, but he possessed little power there, the estates having been devastated and engaged in petty campaigns against the native chieftains. Roger De Mortimer, Earl of March and of Ulster, while engaged in a rash attack on some of the Leinster clans, was killed by O'Brien's men on 20 July 1398, and was buried at Wigmore Abbey. The Wigmore chronicler says that he was riding unattended, attired in the Irish manner, in front of his army, and was unrecognized by those who killed him. The death of the heir to the throne at the hands of the Irish induced King Richard II to undertake his last fatal expedition to Ireland.
