In the disputes between Henry III and the barons, Mortimer at first sided with the barons, but was with the King in 1264 at the taking of Northampton, but fled from the field at the battle of Lewes 5-14-1264. In 1265 he contrived the plan and furnished the swift horse by means of which Prince Edward escaped from Hereford Castle and came to Wigmore, where Mortimer rode out to meet him and drove off his pursuers. At the battle of Evesham 8-4-1265 Mortimer commanded the rearguard; and after Simon de Montfort's death, his head and testicles were sent to Mortimer's wife at Wigmore and Mortimer was liberally rewarded.
