EARLDOM OF MARCH (IV) 1381
HOLDERS OF THE HONOUR OF CLARE (XIV) 1382
ROGER (DE MORTIMER), EARL OF MARCH and ULSTER and LORD MORTIMER, son andheir, born at Usk on Tuesday 11 April 1374, and baptized the next Sundayby William, Bishop of Hereford, the godparents being Roger, Bishop ofLlandaff, Thomas Herton, Abbot of Gloucester, and the Prioress of Usk. On24 January 1381/2 he was Lieutenant of Ireland, his deputy being hisuncle, Thomas Mortimer, but was superseded in 1383. The wardship of hislands was on 6 February 1383/4 granted to Richard, Earl of Arundel, andothers, and 23 August 1384 his marriage was granted to Thomas (Holand),Earl of Kent. In October 1385 he was proclaimed by Richard II as heirpresumptive to the Crown, and on 23 April 1390 was made a knight by theKing. His seal was affixed to the King's letter to the Pope, 26 May 1390.On 15 June 1393 he did homage, and had livery of his lands in Ireland,and 25 February 1393/4 of those in England and Wales. He was appointedLieutenant in Ireland on 23 July 1392, in succession to the Duke ofGloucester, and in September 1394 attended the King on his visit there.On 25 April 1396 he was appointed Lieutenant in Ulster, Connaught, andMeath till Michaelmas next; and in April 1397 Lieutenant in Ireland againfor three years. In Parliament that year the Earl of Salisbury againclaimed possession of Denbigh, his rights in which Thomas (le Despenser),Earl of Gloucester, released to Roger, Earl of March, in February 1397/8.On 15 October 1397 Mortimer was summoned to the Parliament prorogued fromWestminster to Shrewsbury, and arrived there from Ireland on 28 January1397/8, and had a great popular welcome. He was sworn on the cross ofCanterbury to observe the ordinances made in Parliament in the previousSeptember. He was careful to do nothing to justify the King's suspicions,but feeling his position to be somewhat insecure, he went back toIreland, whither his enemy, the Duke of Surrey (his brother-in-law), wasordered to follow and capture hirn.
He married, circa 1388, Eleanor, daughter and in her issue coheir of hisguardian, Thomas (DE HOLAND), EARL OF KENT. He died 20 July 1398, beingslain at Kells by O'Brien's men.[m] His body was brought to England forburial at Wigmore. Dower was assigned to his widow 29 November 1398. Shemarried, in June 1399, Edward (CHERLETON), LORD CHERLETON, feudal lord ofPowys. She died 6 (or 18) October 1405. [Complete Peerage VIII:448-50,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
[m] Monk of Evesham, p. 127, who calls him vir ille strenuus ae nobilis.Adam of Usk calls him junivice probitatis juvenis. The Wigmore chroniclerdescribes him as " Very lustful and remiss in his duty to God," butotherwise splendid and popular; of approved honesty, active in knightlyexercises, glorious in pleasantry (in facescia gloriosus), affable, andmerry in conversation, excelling his contemporaries in beauty ofappearance, sumptuous in his feasting, and liberal in his gifts. As tothe manner of his death the same chronicler says that he was riding,attired in the Irish manner, in front of his army and unattended. Thosewho killed him did not know who he was. The place is called Kenles, whichis identified (Dict. Nat. Biog.) as Kells in Meath. (Gilbert calls itCallistown in Carlow, which seems impossible.) Blaneforde, P. 229, givesmuch the same account. The Inqs. p. m. taken after his death show landsin Bucks, Cambs, Devon, Dorset, Essex, Hants, Kent London (an inn in theparish of St. Katherine Coleman), Norfolk, Northants, Somerset, Suffolk,Sussex and Worcester. Inq. p. m., 22 Ric. II, no. 34.
