Wa=Mo28. Roger de Mortimer, Sn de Mortemer-sur-Eaulne a 1054, d before 1086

Visitors since 22nd March 2009: It is really something to sing and dance about. Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

m Hawise de Valois dau of Raoul III 'the Great', Count de Valois, d'Amien, etc

TCP Mortimer of Wigmore identifies Roger's wife simply as Hawise. BE1883 does not name her at all. This identification comes from a web site.

Mo27.

Ralph de Mortimer a 1066, 1104 m1 Melisande or Milicent d before 30.03.1088

Following BE1883, which shows Ralph as having only Melisande or Milicent as a wife, we show her as mother of all of Ralph' s children. However TCP, whilst confirming Hawise's mother as Melisande, suggests that William may have been illegitimate and leaves open who was mother of Hugh. BE1883 shows also another son, Robert, ancestor of the Mortimers of Richard's Castle, but we show him on 'Mortimer02'.

Mo26.

Hugh de Mortimer d c1149

TCP and BE1883 disagree over the next few generations. BE1883 shows Hugh as followed by Roger who m1. Milisent Ferrers, dau of Earl of Derby; m2. Isabel, sister of Hugh de Ferrers of Oakham who was followed by his son Hugh who m. Annora de Braose who was followed by his half-brother Ralph who m. Gladuse Duy. We follow TCP.

Roger Mortimer, Lord of Chirke d 03.08.1336

Roger was attainted and his title forfeited for his actions against the King's favourites, the Despencers. After the death of Llewelyn, the last Prince of North Wales, his brother Davydd held a meeting of the Welsh chieftains at Denbigh, of which he possessed the lordship, when it was determined to maintain the war against the attacks of the English. This task, however, proved far beyond their strength; and Davydd, being soon afterwards taken prisoner near this place, was put to death as a traitor by the English monarch, Edward I. About the period of the subjugation of Wales by Edward, the eastern parts of this county fell into the hands of English possessors, under very peculiar circumstances: Emma, widow of Grufydd ab Madoc, who died in 1270, disagreeing with her husband's relatives respecting the education of her sons or, as Mr. Pennant thinks, her grandsons, obtained possession of the eldest two, and delivered them over as wards to Edward I. One of them, named Madoc, with his inheritance of Bromfield and Yale, was placed by that monarch in charge of John, Earl Warren; and Llewelyn, the other youth, with his patrimony of Chirk and Nanheudwy, in that of Roger Mortimer, third son of Roger Mortimer, the son of Ralph, Lord Mortimer, of Wigtown. These noblemen having obtained possession of the territories above-mentioned, conspired together, and caused the sons of Grufydd to be drowned in the river Dee; after the perpetration of which murder, they each received from the king a grant of the estates of their respective wards, dated at Rhuddlan, October 27th, 1281, with the exception of Hope Castle, and the lands thereto appertaining, which Edward retained in his own possession. The first-mentioned lordship continued in the family of Warren until the year 1347, when it descended by an heiress to the Fitz-Alans, Earls of Arundel, who purchased from John, grandson of Roger Mortimer, the lordship of Chirk and Nanheudwy: these united domains remained with the Fitz-Alans for several generations, and, after repeated attainders and forfeitures of different heirs, became finally vested in the crown.
