    Name:
    Roger De Mortimer, Knt., 4th Earl of March, 7th Earl of Ulster, Lord Mortimer of Wigmore, son and heir, was born at Usk on 11 Apr 1374, and succeeded to title and estates when seven years old. He declared heir presumptive to the Crown by King Richard II in October 1385, and was made a knight by the King on 23 Apr 1390. he was summoned to Parliament on 15 Oct 1397, and had a great popular welcome. he was careful to do nothing to justify the King Richard II's suspicions, but feeling his position to be somewhat insecure, he returned to Ireland, whither his enemy, the Duke of Surrey (his brother-in-law), whither his enemy, the Duke of Surrey (his brother-in-law), was ordered to follow and capture him. 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.
