    Notes:

    Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Lord Mortimer (1251 - July 17, 1304) was the second son and eventual heir of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore. His mother was Maud de Braose. As a younger son, Edmund had been intended for clerical or monastic life, and had been sent to study at Oxford University.

    He was made Treasurer of York in 1265. By 1268 he is recorded as studying Theology in the house of the Archbishop of York. King Henry III showed favour by supplementing his diet with the luxury of venison.

    The sudden death of his elder brother, Ralph, in 1276, made him heir to the family estates; yet he continued to study at Oxford. But his father's death eventually forced his departure.

    He returned to the March in 1282 as the new Lord Mortimer of Wigmore and immediately became involved in Welsh Marches politics. Together with his brother Roger Mortimer, Baron of Chirk, John Giffard, and Roger Lestrange, he devised a plan to trap Llywelyn the Last. Edmund sent a message to Llywelyn telling him he was coming to Llywelyn's aid and arranged to meet with him at Builth. At Irfon Bridge the Welsh prince became separated from his army. Edmund's brothers secretly forded the river behind Llywelyn's army and surprised the Welsh. In the resulting battle Llywelyn was killed and beheaded. Edmund then sent his brother Roger Mortimer of Chirk to present Llywelyn's severed head to King Edward I of England at Rhuddlan Castle. The head was displayed on the Tower of London as a warning to all rebels.

    In return for his services Edmund was knighted by King Edward at Winchester in 1283. In September 1285, he married Margaret de Fiennes, the daughter of William II de Fiennes and Blanche de Brienne (herself the granddaughter of John of Brienne by his third wife Berenguela of Leon), the family entering the blood royal. Their surviving children were:

    Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 - 29 November 1330) married Joan de Geneville, by whom he had twelve children.
    Maud Mortimer, married Sir Theobald II de Verdun, by whom she had four daughters, Joan, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Katherine de Verdun.
    John Mortimer, accidentally slain in battle by John de Leyburne.
    Walter Mortimer, a priest, Rector of Kingston.
    Edmund, a priest, Rector of Hodnet and Treasurer of the Cathedral at York.
    Hugh Mortimer, a priest, Rector of church at Old Radnor.

    They also had two daughters who became nuns; Elizabeth and Joan.

    Edmund served in the king's Scottish campaign and returned to fight in Wales in 1283. He was mortally wounded in a skirmish near Builth, and died at Wigmore Castle.

    Edmund married Margaret de Fiennes Sep 1285, Wigmore, Herefordshire, England. Margaret (daughter of William de Fiennes, Baron Tingry II and Blanche de Brienne, Baroness Tingry) was born Abt 1270; died 07 Feb 1332/33. [Group Sheet]


  4. 15.  Margaret de Fiennes was born Abt 1270 (daughter of William de Fiennes, Baron Tingry II and Blanche de Brienne, Baroness Tingry); died 07 Feb 1332/33.

    Notes:

    Margaret Mortimer, Baroness Wigmore (née de Fiennes; after 1269 - 7 February 1333), was an English noblewoman born to William II de Fiennes, Baron Tingry and Blanche de Brienne. Her paternal grandparents were Enguerrand II de Fiennes and Isabelle de Conde. Her maternal grandparents were Jean de Brienne and Jeanne, Dame de Chateaudun.

    Margaret had a sister, Joan de Fiennes (born about 1273, died before 26 October 1309), whose daughter, Margaret Wake, was the mother of Joan of Kent. Therefore, Margaret de Fiennes was a great-aunt of Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent. Margaret de Fiennes was also a first cousin of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.

    In September 1285, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, Margaret married Edmund Mortimer of Wigmore, 2nd Baron Mortimer, the son of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore and Maud de Braose. They had four children.
