  • Name Edmund DE MORTIMER  [1, 2, 3] 
    • Edmund De Mortimer, Knt., 3rd Earl of march, Lord Mortimer of Wigmore, Lord of Trim and Connaught, Ireland, is the son and heir of Roger de Mortimer, Knt., by Philippe daughter of William de Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury. He was born at Llangoed in Llyswen, co. Brecon, Wales, on 1 Feb 1351/2, and succeeded his father in his tenth year. He became a ward of King Edward III, and was closely associated with the King's sons, especially Edward (the Black prince). By the death of his wife's father in 1368 he became lord of Ulster and of Connaught, as also lord of Clare in Suffolk 'jure uxoris', and was also styled Earl of Ulster. He was summoned to parliament from 8 Jan. 1370/1 as Earl of March. In the domestic politics of the time Mortimer was on the side of the Prince of Wales and the clergy against John of Gaunt and the Barons. The death of the Black Prince weakened his position. With the accession of King Richard II, power remained with Lancaster, but the next rightful heir was Mortimer's own son. He was appointed lieutenant of Ireland on 22 Oct 1379, it being convenient for the party of Lancaster to get him out of the country. Ulster, Connaught, and Meath, over which he bore nominal sway, had long been the most disorderly districts. Edmund De Mortimer, Earl of March, having caught cold in crossing a river in winter time in Munster, died testate in the Dominican Friary at Cork on 27 Dec 1381. [1]
